Side view of a white, twin engined BizJet taxiing from right to left. There is a thin red and green stripe running along the body, with a similar stripe running along the base of the tail. The registration "VR-BLH" is in green on the side of the white engine pods mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage. Large strips of grass in the foreground and background separate taxiways and a runway.

Yeah, I know, this isn't a Leap Year!

Side view of a grey, high-winged, 4 propellor-engined cargo plane taxiing from right to left. The sides and belly are grey, while the top section is white, with a dark blue and red strip running along the side of the fuselage, overlaid with blue and red "HeavyLift" titles on both the front and rear of the fuselage. The tail is red with a large, white uppercase letter "H" with a heavy, blue drop shadow. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with blue metal frames on either side at the bottom, while large grassed areas divided by a runway lead up to cream coloured hangars with large military transport parked on the ramp in front, slowly vanishing into grey haze.
