Side view of a twin engined Bizjet with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, parked on grey concrete apron facing to the left. The plane has blue and brown piping running along the planes body and engine pods, as well as along the tail. The registration "OE-GSC" is on the engine pods in blue. A man wearing a blue coat and black pants is leaning on the planes left wing, while another man wearing a hi-viz coat is standing on the planes steps (actually the lower half of the planes door, folded downward, the upper half folded upwards), leaning in to the plane. Grey concrete apron fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right off the runway. The plane is almost entirely white, with blue "FlyBe" titles above a series of yellow, red, and purple dots on the forward fuselage, just behind the cockpit. There is the web address "www[dot]flybe[dot]com" in blue on the sides of the engine cowlings. The registration "G-LGNR" is on the upper rear fuselage, in black. The last 2 letters "NR" are on the front of the nose wheel doors, and above the cockpit corner windows, also in black. Green grass lines either side of the black runway in the foreground, with the taxiway this plane is on hidden by grass. More grass in the background leads up to trees in the distance, under blue-grey sky.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane has 3 thin blue stripes running along the body, on a level with the wing root, and red "Air Malta" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The registration "9H-ABG" is on the upper rear fuselage in black. The bottom of the tail is white, with3 thin blue stripes at the top of that section, while the top is red with a white Maltese Cross (4 arrow-heads with the tips meeting in the middle.) A smaller version of the same logo (white Maltese Cross on a red background over 3 blue lines) is on the side of the engine pods. Grey concrete apron fills most of the frame, with a white van and a blue fuel truck in the middle of the foreground. More blue trucks and a blue set of mobile air stairs are in the background on the left. A strip of green grass separates 2 taxiways, with a red and white striped metal fence and a small building site separating them from another in the distance.
