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 single engined, single seat bi-plane light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low latitude, less than a metre above a grass runway. The plane is mostly red, with a pair of white stripes running along the body, overlaid with the white registration "G-HOON", with similar white stripes running the length of the spats on the main wheels, under the wings. The front of the tail is red, with white "Pitts S-1S"text, while the rear is covered in a red and white checkerboard pattern, which can also be seen on the outer panels of the under side of the wings. A person wearing a white flying helmet can be seen in the single seat cockpit, under a domed canopy. Grrn grass fills the rest of the frame, with the plane casting a strong shadow on the ground behind it, suggesting that the sun is coming from the top left corner.

Side view of a high-winged, 4 engined jet airliner flying from right to left at a low altitude, with undercarriage extended, flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is white on top of the body and grey on the lower half, with dark blue, almost purple "Brussels Airlines" titles just aft of a stylised red lower-case letter "b" made upe of red dots. The tail and rear fuselage is the same dark blue, with a larger version of the red dot "b" logo on the tail, above the white registration "OO-DWB" on the fuselage. The web address "BrusselsAirlinesDotCom" is on the upper rear fuselage, above the rear cabin windows, with small Belgian and EU flags below those windows. Grey engine pods hang down below the wings. A tall grey tower with a black top reaches into the sky in the middle of the background, with grey-blue sky filling the rest of the frame.
