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 twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with a blue belly at the front, although the rear is mostly blue with a white roof, with a light blue stripe separating the 2 sections. There are blue "Blue Air" titles on the upper forward fuselage, above the passenger cabin windows, with smaller, darker "web.com" web address below the windows. The white registration "YR-BAJ" is on the lower rear fuselage., just ahead of the aft cabin door. The tail is mostly white, with a white leading edge, and white diagonal "Blue Air" titles and "Web.com" web address. A grey runway and taxiway, lined with green grass, fills the foreground, while trees stretch across the background, under blue-grey sky.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right along a taxiway that is just low enough to appear to be covered in grass. The plane is mostly purple, with a diagonal white band wrapped around the tail and tail-cone, as well as a thin, red, diagonal band and a thicker, yellow, diagonal band wrapped around the rear fuselage. There are white "FlyBe" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, covering some of the passenger cabin windows towards the front, over a series of 6 large white dots. There is white text "Faster than road or rail" on the side of the engine pods under the wings, and the black registration "G-PRPF" on the tail-cone. There are 2-tone blue "FlyBe" titles arranged diagonally on the tail, over 2 yellow, 2 red, and 2 purple dots. Green grass fills the bottom of the frame, lining the side of a black runway, with another thin strip of grass between that and the taxiway our plane is on. Grass and trees stretch across the background, under blue-grey sky.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low altitude, with fixed undercarriage under the fuselage, flaps extended from the rear of the wings and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is silver on top, and a creamy white on the bottom, the two colours separated by a thin red pin-stripe. The red registration is on the side of the rear fuselage, while the text "G115" is on the upper engine cowling in the plane's nose. The registration is repeated in a larger form under the left wing. Flat white sky fills the background.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane is mostly white, with light and dark blue "Air Transat" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with a small, red and white Canadian flag just below the cockpit windows, and the black registration "C-GOJC" on the upper rear fuselage. The rear fuselage and tail is light blue, with the outline of a star in black, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, and the white number "710" at the top of the tail. 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.

View from almost underneath of a white, twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from behind the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is pretty much just white, with red "TUI" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and a red logo that looks like the upper-case letters "T", "U", and "I" smushed together to form a winking smiley face. There are black "Tui[dot]com" titles on the outer faces of the engine pods slung under the wings. The registration "ES-SAF" is under the outer left wing. Bright lights in the landing gear wells are shining forwards. Clouds fill the background under the plane, with blue sky above.

Side View of a single engined, single seat bi-plane light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low latitude, less than a metre above a grass runway. The plane is mostly red, with a pair of white stripes running along the body, overlaid with the white registration "G-HOON", with similar white stripes running the length of the spats on the main wheels, under the wings. The front of the tail is red, with white "Pitts S-1S"text, while the rear is covered in a red and white checkerboard pattern, which can also be seen on the outer panels of the under side of the wings. A person wearing a white flying helmet can be seen in the single seat cockpit, under a domed canopy. Grrn grass fills the rest of the frame, with the plane casting a strong shadow on the ground behind it, suggesting that the sun is coming from the top left corner.
