Throw Thursday

Side view of a light helicopter hovering just a couple of metres above a grass runway. The chopper is a deep blue, with a gold stripe running along the body, and the gold registration "G-OJGC" on the long tail boom. Green grass fills the foreground and large parts of the background, with bushes and tyres in the distance marking the airfield perimeter, under grey-blue sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving at speed from right to left along a black runway. The plane is mostly white, with a pale blue belly, and large light and dark blue "FlyBe" titles above 6 coloured dots (2 yellow, 2 red, 2 purple) on the forward fuselage, a design repeated on the sides of the white engine pods mounted under the wings with additional ".com" text at the end. The light and dark blue "FlyBe" titles are repeated in a larger form but without the dots on the rear fuselage and tail. The black registration "G-FBJI" is on the upper rear fuselage. Green grass fills the foreground, lining the sides of the runway. A pair of large grey hangars dominate the background on the right, behind a large green metal wall. Pale blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a 4-engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left at a busy airport. The plane is mostly white, with blue-green "BWIA West Indies" titles on the upper forward fuselage, over the wings, and black "Airbus A340" text on the lower forward fuselage, just aft of the forward cabin door. The black registration "9Y-JIL" is on the upper rear fuselage, with the web address "www.bwee.com" on the lower rear. The green-blue tail has a stylised, white steel drum filling most of the space. The engine pods, mounted under the wings, are da deep purple, while the up-turned wing-tips being a similar colour to the tail, possibly a bit greener. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with 5 jet airliners, some white and blue, others white and orange, parked on apron in the background, stuck amongst some tail lighting poles, with trees in the distance under flat grey sky.
