Side view of a light helicopter parked on grey concrete facing to the left. The chopper is mostly white, with red trim around the cockpit and on the tail boom. The tail boom has the white registration "G-UPCC" on the red section. A grey prefabricated building with a blue frame is in the background on the right, while a brown brick building with a grey car parked in front is on the left.

Side view of a high-winged, twin engined BizProp taxiing from left to right. The plane is largely white, with a 2-tone blue stripe running along the body from under the nose, and sweeping up into the lower parts of the tail. The registration N690PK is on the rear fuselage. Green grass fills the bottom of the frame, lining each side of the taxiway, with more grass in the background, leading up to trees in the distance under blue sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane is a very pale blue, with red, seemingly hand-written "Istanbul" titles on the upper forward fuselage, above the forward cabin windows, with additional "SunExpress" below the windows. Hand-drawn red images of buildings, bridges, vegetation, weather, and curly squiggles cover the rest of the airframe, with a large red love-heart on the side of the engine pods. There is white text "Impressions of Instanbul by SunExpress" next to a small Turkish flag on the upper rear fuselage. A white semi-circle topped with 6 white chevrons themselves arranged in a semi-circle, while a smaller version of this logo appears on the nose. A black taxiway fills the foreground, with grass, more taxiways, and a runway in the background lead up to trees in the distance, with houses beyond that, under grey sky.
