Side view of a 4 engined military jet submarine-hunter aircraft, parked facing to the right on concrete hard-standings in the middle of a field of gravel, on outdoor display in a small museum. The plane is entirely grey, with a large grey probe extending forward from above the cockpit windows, reaching out of the right side of the frame. The engines are buried in pairs in the wing root, with red covers inside the intakes. A blue pod hangs from a pylon under the right wing. Grey gravel fills the foreground, with metal barriers making a walkway up to a grey set of mobile airstairs parked against the planes main door behind the cockpit. Lush grey sky fills the top of the frame.

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 view of a twin engined jet airliner being towed from right to left, although the white tug doing the towing has turned back to the right, and the plane is slowly turning to follow. The plane is white, with a red and yellow stripe coming from under the forward fuselage, swooping over the wing and back down under the rear fuselage, widening over the wing to fill the rear fuselage and tail. There are red "Hainan Airlines" titles on the upper fuselage, in a Chinese script between the two forward cabin doors, and in English over the wing root. The black registration "B-304K" can be seen on the upper rear fuselage. An intricate yellow and gold flowery design fills the red tale. Grey squares of concrete apron fills the foreground and most of the background, with temporary buildings, white and blue mobile airstairs, and the metal support structure of a new pier under construction in the background.

A large bubble canopy covers the 2 seat cockpit, with an man wearing a black cap and black polo-shirt in the right-hand seat and a woman with curly dark hair in the left-hand seat, looking at him and laughing, both of them wearing a headset and microphone. Green grass 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 twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a black taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with grey, lowercase "vueling" and yellow "com" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The tail and rear fuselage start off with small grey dots towards the front, the dots gradually getting larger and merging into a solid wall of grey, with a single yellow dot up towards the top. Green grass lines the sides of a pair of black taxiways in the foreground, and more in the background separates the plane from a black runway, with trees in the distance meeting grey sky.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left, along a grey taxiway. The plane has red "Jet2DotCom" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the black registration "CS-WFP" just aft of a small Portugese flag on the lower rear. The tail is a deep blue, with a stylised number "2" made up of red, mint green, and light blue sections. The engine pods mounted under the wings are the same deep blue as the tail, with the up-turned wing-tips are the same mint green as in the number on the tail. A strip of green grass stretches across the foreground, with a grey cargo building stretching across the background with a grey and red jet airliner parked in front on the right. A couple of grey buildings with hotel logos on top are visible over the top off that building, with trees beyond them, under hazy grey skies.
