A black helicopter hovering several metres above the ground. There are very few markings, the silver registration "N520EA" on the engine pod on top of the fuselage, and the white text "MD520N" at the top of the twin tails at the end of the long tail boom. Mown grass flies in the air being forced down by the large rotor blades. Several white light aircraft can be seen in the background at the bottom of the frame, a background dominated by a brown brick control tower with a heavily glazed white top floor, where a man standing on a balcony is taking of photo of the helicopter. Trees stretch across the frame in the distance, under blue skies.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left, with it's tail weighed down so it's nose, minus the nose-wheel, is raised in the air. The plane is mostly white, with bright orange stripes running along the body, and the black registration "G-BLTM" on the lower rear fuselage. There is a green hangar in the background on the right, with more green buildings in the distance on the right, under flat grey skies.
