Side view of a twin engined jet airliner parked facing to the right, surrounded by several white airport vehicles. The plane is almost entirely white, with blue "TAESA" titles on the lower rear fuselage, next to a stylised image of a flying blue bird. The blue registration "XA-RLM" is on the upper rear fuselage, just ahead of the tail. The tail is bright yellow, with a larger version of the blue flying bird logo, over smaller "Taesa" titles. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground and most of the background, with a pair of white and orange, high-winged, 4 engined jet airliners on the right of the frame, with trees in the distance, uner dreary grey sky.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing along a black taxiway from left to right. The plane is largely white, with a black belly, and the black letters "NG" above the cockpit windows, repeatedin white on the open nose-weheel doors. There are black "Scotlands Airline" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with larger, red "LoganAir" titles on the upper rear. The black registration "G-GNG" is on the lower rear fuselage, partially obscured by the wing. The rear fuselage and tail is covered in a red, black, and white tartan. The engine pods on the wings are a bright red. Black taxiway fills the foreground, lined by green grass. A black runway stretches across the background, with trees leading off into the distance, under bright but hazy sky.

View from below o a twin engined jet airliner flying pretty much directly overhead at a very low altitude, with undercarriage tucked away, flaps extended from the rear of the wing, and the nose raised, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is largely white, with an orange rear fuselage overlaid with the grey head and shoulders of a historical figure. The registration "G-EZBI" is on the lower rear fuselage in white, and under the left wing in black. The engine pods under the wings, as well as the flap track covers, are also bright orange. Pale grey-blue sky fills the background.
