Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey expanse of apron. The plane is mostly white, with dark blue "Kuwait" titles on the upper forward fuselage, covering the forward passenger cabin windows, with smaller blue titles in an Arabic script just aft of that, and a small Kuwait flag just behind the cockpit windows. The black registration 9K-APH is on the upper rear fuselage, just above what looks like a 3-tone blue swoosh, but on closer inspection turns out to be the stylised silhouette of a bird, with beak turned upwards towards the front, and wings spreading up and out at the rear. Part of this design, the front of the up-swept wings, is repeated on the bottom of the white engine pods, but with the addition of a dark blue bird logo towards the front, a design element repeated in white on the tail. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a random white airbridge in the bottom left corner, with a strip of green grass between the 2 apron areas. A silver and red jet airliner is parked nose-in to a long, low, grey building in the background, with a taller grey building on the left, and a different building in shades of grey and yellow towering over the lower building. Trees in the distance lead up to grim grey sky.

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.

The blue, upturned wingtips have the white outlines of a white star on the outer face, and a multi-coloured variant on the inner face. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with more leading up to trees in the distance. Airport vehicles, baggage carts, and mobile airstairs litter the airfield.

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.

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 twin engined jet airliner moving from right to left at speed along a runway with flaps slightly extended behind the wings, and the nose raised slightly, suggesting it is taking off.The plane is largely white, with large, blue, billboard-style "IcelandAir" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, partially covering the passenger cabin windows. The registration "TF-ICC" is on the upper rear fuselage, next to a small Icelandic flat. A thin light blue stripe wraps around the rear fuselage and the leading edge of the tail, with a thicker dark blue stripe wraps around the tail-cone and the rest of the tail, with a white, waving, double ribbon in the middle. A black taxiway winds it's way through a large grassed area in the foreground, with more grass visible under the planes in the background. The dark blue and yellow tail of another jet airliner is visible over the rear fuselage of this one, with trees beyond that in the distance, under grim grey sky.

Side view of a twin jet-engined, military light bomber taxiing from left to right along a black runway with it's wings folded up. The plane is covered in an olive-green and grey camouflage, with blue and red roundels on the lower forward fuselage, under the cockpit, and under the outer wing panels, the latter visible because the wings are raised into their stowed position. There is a blue and red fin flash on the tail, next to the grey number "864". The cockpit canopy is in the slid back position, with both crew members visible in their tandem seats. Green grass lines the runway in the foreground, with a large grey building dominating the background on the right, with rolling, tree covered hills fading into the hazy grey sky.

Rear side view of a red, 2 seat autogyro taxiing from right to left with the main rotor locked in place. It is basically a red fibreglass shell wrapped around a metal frame, with a pair of open tandem cockpits with large perspex windshields, with a motor bolted on the back powering a pusher propellor, and another metal frame sticking backwards out of the bottom carrying the red tail on an angular metal boom. An uncovered nosewheel sticks out of the bottom of the fuselage, with a pair of rear wheel on struts, partially covered with red sponsons stick out to the sides from under the engine. The silver registration is on the red tail right at the back.Several metal poles stick out from the engine, just above the rear cockpit, supporting and providing some control to the large, 2-bladed main rotor. Both cockpit seats are filled, with people wearing matching flying suits, with red arms and legs and black bodies, as well as white full-face helmets. Grey tarmac taxiway fills the foreground, with 2 wings of an old, brown brick office building in the background, close enough to possibly be hit if the main rotor was spinning, with a white, high-winged, light aircraft parked between the wings.
