Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, taxiing from right to left. The body is all white, with black "Star Alliance" titles running the whole length. The tail is black, with a 5-pointed star made up of grey pyramids, arranged in a circle. The engine pods are grey with blue exhausts, with the registration "OH-BLP" in white, next to a Finnish flag. Green grass surrounding taxiways fill the foreground, with more grass and a runway in the background, under grey-blue skies.

Side view of a green, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, undercarriage retracting, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The planes top half is a dark green, with a lighter green stripe over the passenger cabin windows, and a white belly. There are white "Aer Lingus" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and green "Regional" titles at the bottom. The black registration "EI-FAS" is on the lower rear fuselage, next to a small Irish flag. There is a large, light green shamrock leaf on the tail. Pale blue sky with streaks of white cloud fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white military transport helicopter parked facing to the left on a black tarmac taxiway. The helicopter has a blue stripe running along the body and tail boom, with a zig-zag down to below the cockpit windows. Sponsons on the rear fuselage house the main landing gear. A large panel that normally covers the engine has been dropped down, exposing the inner workings. A large sign has been placed against the nose, giving some detail about the aircraft. In the background, crowds of people are visible behind waist-level metal fences, with some tents and other exhibits behind them. Dismal grey skies fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a high winged, single engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on grass, with large weights attached to the wings by long red straps to keep it in place. The plane is mostly white, with an orange and grey swirl reaching from near the front of the engine cowling, below and the up around the back of the cockpit, and the silver registration "G-IHXD" on the side sf the rear fuselage. Green grass fills the foreground and a large part of the background, with a couple more planes parked on the left of the frame behind this one, and trees in the distance, meeting flat grey sky.

There is a single bright light on the nose-wheel, flaring in the camera lens. A black runway and a wide grassed area fill the foreground, with a larger, white, twin-engined jet airliner in the background. Trees beyond that meet flat grey sky.
