Throw Thursday

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.

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 moving from left to right along a runway, with thrust reversers deployed in the sides of the engines, suggesting it is rapidly slowing down after landing. The plane is mostly white, with green-blue "Orbest" titles on the forward fuselage, covering some of the passenger cabin windows. The engine pods under the wings have an abstract, geometric pattern in shades of blue and purple. The rear fuselage and tail is mostly white, with wavy purple, green-blue, and lilac sections. The black registration "CS-TRM" is on the upper rear fuselage, next to a small Portugese flag. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass in the background leads up to trees on the airfield perimeter in the distance, under bright but hazy sky.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on grass. The plane is mostly a glossy black, with a thick red stripe running along the body from the nose, then sweeping under the body just aft of the passenger cabin, and another red stripe covering a fillet at the front of the tail, before running diagonally up and across the tail, getting wider as it goes. The red registration "G-BHEH" is on the side of the rear fuselage. Grteen grass fills the foreground, and much of the background, leading up to trees on the airfield perimeter. Flat grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

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 single engined light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low altitude, maybe 2 or 3 metres above a grass runway, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and flying straight and level, suggesting it is about to land, the fixed undercarriage not telling us anything. The plane is white, with a thin yellow and blue stripe running along the body, overlaid with the blue registration "G-LACB" on the side of the rear fuselage. There is a red star, with the side arms made from a pair of pilots wings, overlaid with an image of a light aircraft soaring into the sky, in the middle of the white tail. Grass fills the foreground and most of the background, with trees and bushes marking the airfield perimeter in the distance.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner parked facing to the left. The plane is mostly white, with a blue belly, and blue "Kabo Air" titles on the upper forward fuselage, between the upper and lower deck cabin windows. A blue circle with a red outline is on the tail, with a stylised white lightning bolt (or possibly upper case letter "N") in the middle. A tall, grey lighting pole in the foreground partially obscures the tail-cone and tail. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with various white airport trucks and mobile airstairs gathered in the bottom right corner. Trees fill the background, under grey skies.

Front side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner moving from left to right along a black runway, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and the rear section of the white engine pods pushed backwards, revealing the thrust reversers, suggesting it has just landed. There are dark blue "Air France" titles on the upper forward fuselage, next to a short, red diagonal stripe, and the black registration "F-HZUR" on the upper rear. There is an image of a dark blue winged sea horse in the outline of a blue circle on the side of the front section of the white engine pods under the wings. 3 diagonal blue stripes, getting thinner as they move rearwards, followed by a shorter red stripe, adorn the tail, with a small circle of gold stars at the top. Green grass lines the side of the runway in the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance, with rolling hills beyond that, under pale blue sky.
