Schipol Sunday

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner facing to the left on a grey runway. The plane has a pale blue belly, and pale and dark blue "FlyBe" titles above a series of yellow, red, and purple dots on the forward fuselage. These titles are repeated on the sides of the engine cowlings with additional "[dot] com" titles, as well as on the tail, minus the dots. Green grass fills the bottom of the frame, with the razor-wire on the top of the perimeter fence visible right at the bottom. More grass in the background leads up to a large grey hangar in the distance on the right, and trees on the left, under blue-grey sky.

Front view of a blue, 2 seat gyrocopter parked facing the camera. The aircraft has no wings, but instead a rotor like a helicopter, but also has a pusher propellor at the rear. The fuselage is dark blue on the top surfaces, with a creamy white belly. It is parked on a small concrete slab surrounded by grass, with a brown wooden fence separating the airfield from parked cars, with tall trees behind, under pale grey skies.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner moving from right to left along a runway with the rear panel of one of the engines slid back, exposing the thrust reversers, suggesting it has just landed. The plane is mostly white, with large gold "Emirates" titles in English on the upper forward fuselage, between the 2 rows of passenger windows, and smaller titles in an Arabic script a bit further back, over the wings. A waving United Arab Emirates flag (red vertical bar on the left, with equal green, white, and black stripes on the right) covers the tail and part of the rear fuselage. Golden calligraphic art made up of the characters that make up the airlines Arabic name adorns the engine pods, the cowling of the inner engines split as the rear portion has moved backwards to expose the thrust reversers. Another runway stretches across the foreground, lined by green grass, while a pair of large grey hangars dominate the background, under pale blue-grey sky.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at low angle with the undercarriage retracted and only a small amount of flaps from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is doing a flypast as part of a display routine. The plane is mostly white, with black "EuroDirect" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and an enormous, black, lower-case letter "e" , tilted slightly on it's side, on the rear fuselage. The tail is yellow, with a large, black, lower=case letter "e" in the middle. Grey sky fills the background.

Side view of a single engined light aircraft moving at speed from right to left along a grass runway, with the nose wheel lifted slightly off the ground, and a small amount of flaps hanging from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is taking off. The plane is white, with a thin black and thicker red stripe running along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-CIFC" on the rear fuselage. The spats on the undercarriage are white, with a similar black and red stripe. Green grass fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on yellowing grass, right on the edge of a black tarmac taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a 2-tone blue stripe running along the body before sweeping up the front of the tail. The registration "G-BPJD" is on the upper rear fuselage, as well as under the left wing. Another couple of planes are parked around it, as well as a couple of wooden buildings on the right. A long bridge reaches over the horizon on the left, with blue-grey sky filling the rest of the frame.

The white tail has the blue letters "BA" underlined in red. Lush green grass fills the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to a black runway , and more grass leading up to trees in the distance, under grim grey sky.

Front-side view of a single engined light aircraft parked on grass facing to the right. The plane is in a metallic grey livery, with a series of short, silver stripes running along the body, with yellow and red ribbons intertwined with and spinning through them. The silver registration "ZS-SUB" is on the lower rear fuselage. The cockpit door on the other side is open, hinged forwards and upwards. The foreground is filled with short green brass, with more grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance. Several planes are visible in the background, mostly a bright yellow plane on the right, with various wings and tails coming in to view. Several people wearing yellow hi-viz vests are scattered around the airfield, acting as marshallers for all the visitors.
