Throw Thursday

Side view of a very large, white, 4 engined jet airliner moving from right to left . The plane is mostly white, with purple "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and a scarlet red rear fuselage and tail, with white "Virgin" titles. The upturned wing-tips have part of a waving Union Flag. The engine pods slung under the wings are the same scarlet red, with the rear 1/3rd of the cowling having moved backwards to expose the thrust reversers, which along with the flaps hanging from the rear of the wings is slowing the plane after landing. Taxiways lined with strips of grass fill the foreground, with a grey terminal building with several planes parked in front of it stretching across the frame, under grey-blue skies.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a black taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a thin, diagonal band running from under the forward fuselage, just aft of the nose-wheel, to over the top of the centre-fuselage, just aft of the wings, and large, green "PIA" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, between the upper and lower passenger decks, partially covering some of the lower deck windows. There is some ornate Arabic calligraphy on the upper forward fuselage, just below and aft of the cockpit, which takes the name of the airline in Arabic and turns it into a piece of art. There is a waving green flag on the white tail, with a white star and crescent moon in the centre. Damp, black apron fills the foreground, with a multitude of airliners, mostly white with orange, blue, green, and red highlights, parked in the background, mostly facing to the right, but a couple on the right of the frame are facing left. Tall lighting poles are dotted around the planes in the background, reaching up to the sky. Trees in the distance give way to a rolling landscape, with buildings and more trees leading off to the horizon, meeting cloudy grey skies.

Low side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right almost directly overhead at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wing, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is largely white, with dark blue "Lufthansa" titles on the upper forward fuselage, smaller text "Airbus A320-200" and "Kieve" on the lower forward fuselage, immediately aft of the forward cabin door, and the letters "QW" on the open nose-wheel door. The black registration "D-AIQW" is on the lower rear fuselage, next to small German and EU flags. The rear fuselage and tail is dark blue, with the silver outline of a circle, containing a stylised silver flying bird. Pale blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

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 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.
