Frankfurt Friday

Front view of a very large, 4-engined jet airliner being disconnected from a low-slung white tug that has just pushed it back from it's stand. The plane is almost entirely white, with a red tail with indistinct white markings on the side. There are large, thin, purple "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the side of the upper fuselage, with an image of a flying woman wearing a ed leotard and trailing a waving United Kingdom flag from her left wrist, under the cockpit windows, above the small black text "Ruby Tuesday". Grey concrete apron with a slight pink tint fills the foreground, with a different type of tug and a baggage loader following a roadway marked on the surface. More concrete apron fills the near background, with the blue rear fuselage and tail of another jet airliner coming into frame on the left. A ground level car park in the distance stretches across the frame, with trees beyond, under a grey sky.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is almost entirely white, with gold titles in an Arabic script on the side of the upper forward fuselage, obscured by the large wing, with gold Arabic calligraphy on the up-turned wingtips and the sides of the engine pods under the wings. The black registration "A6-EDQ" is on the side of the lower rear fuselage, with the last 2 letters repeated on the open nose-wheel doors. A modified, waving version of the flag of the United Arab Emirates fills the white tail, with a diagonal green, white, and black stripe, with a red diagonal band wrapping around the leading edge of the tail and the side of the rear fuselage. Flat grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

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 decelerating from left to right along a black runway. The plane is mostly white, with black "EuroWings" titles on the upper forward fuselage, next to a stylised image of a pair of birds, one of which has a long, thin tail which wraps around in a circle. The black registration "D-ACNN" is on the lower rear fuselage, under the aft cabin windows, just ahead of a small black, red, and yellow German flag, which itself is just ahead of the white engine pods mounted on the sides of the upper forward fuselage. The tail is dark blue, with lines of yellow dots arranged in rows along the bottom 2/3rds. A couple of grey taxiways met the runway on each side and each other on the bottom middle of the image, with a triangular patch of green grass from the runway. More grass separates this runway from another in the distance, with a couple of other airliners getting ready to take off, with green trees behind them, under grey sky.
