Side view of a single propellor-engined, 2-seat military trainer aircraft parked facing to the left on rather damp, black tarmac, suggesting it has just been raining.. The plane has a grey upper forward fuselage, with a red belly, the red wrapping up and over the top just after the tandem seat cockpit under a large bubble canopy. The rear fuselage is all grey, with a red, white, and pale blue roundel outlined in white, and the serial "312-UU" in black. There is a small, circular, blue and white logo at the base of the tail, which obviously is meant to resemble something, but to me only looks like coloured blobs, below a thick red stripe., and the black number "502" right at the top. The rear fuselage and tail of a darker grey military fighter jet can be seen in the background on the left, with some sort of camouflage structure behind the planes cockpit, and crowds of people on the right, some carrying umbrellas, suggesting that it may still be raining. Grim grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a single-engined BizProp taxiing from right to left on a black taxiway. The plane is white on top and towards the front, and black on the bottom and to the rear, separated by a brown stripe that swoops along the fuselage. The brown registration "N5347V" outlined in white and with a gold drop shadow is on the side of the lower rear fuselage. A pair of gold stripes run along the forward fuselage, one above the brown stripe, the other below, with a thin gold band wrapped around the tail-cone and tail. The pilot can be seen through the cockpit window, with black text "Piper" on the side of the upper fuselage just behind him. Green grass lines both sides of the runway at the bottom of the frame, with more grass separating taxiways and a runway in the background, and more grass leading off to trees and bushes in the distance, slowly vanishing into mist.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner on a black runway, moving slowly from right to left, slight puffs of steam rising from the runway behind it suggesting it is accelerating for take-off. The plane is mostly white, with thin gold and red pinstripes running along the body, and large gold "Etihad" titles on the upper fuselage, over the wings, in English, with smaller titles in an Arabic script a bit further forward. Additional golden text "From Abu Dhabi To The World" just above the gold and red strip on the forward fuselage. The tail has a golden bird with wings partially extended, and a circular version of the flag of the United Arab Emirates on the chest, in the middle. There is a large text area on the upper rear fuselage advertising the Abu Dhabi Formula Grand Prix on the upper rear fuselage, with the web address "wwwDotEtihadAirwaysDotCom" in gold on the lower rear, and the black registration "A6-ETJ" under the tail. Green grass fills the foreground, with a large terminal building in the background on the right, and a grey hangar in the background on the left. Rolling blue-grey cloud fills the top of the frame, with light blue patches of clear sky in places. Gorgeous golden light washes across the frame from the lower right, especially on the plane's body.

Front-side view of the nose and forward fuselage of a jet airliner, sitting on the ground, facing to the right, supported by a pair of semi-circular metal frames that hold the fuselage in position. The plane is mostly white, with a purple belly that swoops upwards, co-incidentally, between the two metal frames then back down again towards the rear. There are purple "Monarch" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just forward of a stylised purple and yellow crown, and the yellow web address "FlyMonarchDotCom" on the purple belly, just where it moves upwards. Green grass fills the foreground and part of the background, with gravel under the plane, and trees stretching across the background, under dramatic cloudy grey skies.

Side view of a high-winged, single-engined military transport aircraft flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with flaps extended from the rear of the wing and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is covered in a light and dark green camouflage scheme, with the small serial "XP820", larger black text "Army", and a small blue and red roundel on the side of the rear fuselage. The plane's pilot can be seen through the cockpit windows, over the fixed landing gear. Green grass fills the background, with trees and bushes beyond that, mostly on the left, all blurred into a smear as the camera pans to follow the plane, with bright but hazy sky on the right.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings, and the undercarriage lowered, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with red "Austrian" titles on the upper forward fuselage, next to a large, stylised red flying bird. The same red bird logo appears in the white middle of the red tail, the tail colours vaguely reminiscent of the Austrian flag. The black registration "OE-LWK" is on the upper rear fuselage, under small EU and Austrian flags. The engine pods mounted under and ahead of the wings are white on top and red on the sides and bottom, with the white web address "AustrianDotCom" on the sides, while the up-turned wing-tips are the same red. Pale blue-grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined flying from left to right at a low altitude, it's wings banked to the left, with flaps lowered slightly behind the wings, and it's undercarriage stowed away. A bright light is shining forwards about halfway along each wing. The fuselage is mostly white, with a thin blue, red, and orange stripe running along the body from the nose, gradually getting wider as it moves rearwards, until the blue sweeps up to fill the tail. The number "227" is on the lower forward fuselage in large black print, with the much smaller registration "G-JATP" on the lower rear fuselage. Grey cloudy sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered, flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is a dull green on the top half, with a brighter green stripe running along the body covering the passenger cabin windows, with a thinner blue stripe below that, and a white lower half. There are white "Aer Lingus" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with dark green "Regional" titles on the lower forward fuselage. The black registration "EI-FCY" is on the lower rear fuselage, just aft of a small Irish flag. Grey-blue sky fills the rest of the image.
