Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right along a dark grey taxiway. The plane is almost entirely white, with light and dark blue "FlyVLM" titles on the lower forward fuselage, and the black registration "OO-VLM" on the sides of the rear fuselage. The engine pods mounted on the front of the wings have light and dark blue text "FlyVLMDotCom" on the sides, with the plane's main undercarriage descending from the rear of those pods. Large, blue, diagonal "VLM" titles are on the front of the tail and rear fuselage, with trailing golden wing feathers stretching behind. Green grass lines the runway in the foreground, with a grey roadway coming off at an angle, heading to the bottom right corner. More grass in the background leads up to another black runway in the distance, with trees beyond, and trees on a low hill vanishing into haze beyond that.

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 taxiing from right to left on a grey runway. The plane is largely white, with a purple, orange, and gold stripe running along the body from just behind the cockpit, with the gold section at the bottom getting slightly wider as it moves backwards, running under the rear fuselage. There are purple "Singapore Airlines" titles on the upper forward fuselage, next to a large Singapore" flag. The tail is purple, with a stylised golden flying bird with wings extended, and an orange stripe on the rear of the tail. Green grass fills the foreground, lining the side of the runway, with a large terminal building in the background, visible under the plane, with several planes parked next to it. Pale blue sky with grey smears of thin cloud fill the top half of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left along a grey taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a red and yellow stripe coming from under the forward fuselage, sweeping up over the wings, and along the rear fuselage, the red getting wider as it moves rearwards, until it fills the tail. There is a second yellow stripe on the rear fuselage, and yellow swirls on the tail, with a smaller version of the red and yellow tail appearing on the up-turned wingtips. There are red titles on the upper forward fuselage, in a Chinese script forward of the mid-cabin door, and in English aft of that door. The black registration "B-1020"is on the upper rear fuselage. The top floor and grey roof of an airport building stretches across the foreground, very pale blue very large fuel tanks in the background, behind a grey and blue low building, meeting foggy grey sky.

Side view of a single engined light aircraft parked facing to the right on grass. The plane is largely white, with a black anti-dazzle panel on top of the engines directly in front of the large bubble cockpit canopy, and a red belly. The horizontal stabiliser and the outer panels of the wings are also painted red. There is a blue, white, and red roundel on the rear fuselage, and a blue, white, and red fin flash under the red number "06" on the tail. The number "06" is repeated in white on the front of the engine cowling. The black serial "XX522" is visible under the horizontal stabiliser on the rear fuselage. Green grass fills the foreground and a good part of the background, leading up to trees and bushes lining the airfield perimeter. A man with short dark hair and wearing a yellow hi-viz vest is standing on the far side of the planes rear fuselage, accompanied by a pair of children, with the head of one wearing a hat visible over the top of the plane, and 2 pairs of legs wearing short trousers visible below. Blue sky over rolling hills in the far distance completes the image.
