A319

Side view of a white, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it has just landed. The plane has purple "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the upper mid-fuselage, with an image of a woman wearing a red mini-dress flying through the air and trailing a Union Flag positioned under the cockpit windows on the forward fuselage. The tail is a bright metallic red, with seemingly hand-drawn "Virgin" titles. The engine pods slung under the wings are the same metallic red. The squared-off up-turned wingtips have a waving modified Union Flag. Green grass fills the foreground, with trees dominating the background, under grey-blue skies.

Side view of a small, single-engined biplane light aircraft taxiing from left to right on a grass airfield. The plane is mostly red, with a pair of white stripes running along the body, overlaid with the white registration "G-HOON" on the rear fuselage. White text on the tail reads "Pitts", in a rather ornate font, with smaller "S-1S" text in a more normal typeface below. The rear, moving portion of the tail is painted in a red and white checkerboard pattern. The upper surfaces of the wings and horizontal stabiliser are covered in a red and white sunburst pattern. The plane's pilot can be seen through the close, blue-tinted cockpit canopy, wearing a grey cloth flying helmet. Short green grass fills the foreground, with slightly longer grass filling the background.

Side view of a white, single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the right on grass. The plane looks very sleek, with smooth flowing lines, and a large bubble canopy over the side-by-side cockpit. The plane has a grey belly, with a thin red stripe separating that from the white, and red registration "G-CGLT" on the side of the rear fuselage. The fixed, nose-wheel undercarriage has white sponsons over the wheels. Green grass fills the foreground, with a strong shadow being cast on the ground, suggesting the sun is high in the sky. More light aircraft can be seen in the background - a red one on the left, a yellow one with a high wing in the middle, and a white and orange one on the right. Trees in the distance meet blue sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner parked on grey concrete apron, facing to the left. The plane is largely white, with a dark blue belly, and a yellow stripe running along the body, separating the 2 colours. There are large, blue, billboard-style "RyanAir" titles on the sides of the forward fuselage, next to a blue, stylised winged Irish harp. The black registration "EI-EPA" is on the upper rear fuselage, next to a small Irish flag. The engine pods hanging under the wings are the same colours as the body - white on top, and dark blue at the bottom, separated by a yellow stripe. Built-in airstairs are deployed below the closed forwards cabin door, while white mobile airstairs are parked by the closed rear doors. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a wide strip of grass leads up to a runway in the background, with trees beyond that. Pale blue sky with wisps of thin grey cloud fill the top half of the image.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined parked facing to the left on grass. The plane is largely white, with a black and brown stripe running along the body and engine cowlings, as well as along the top of the tail. The black registration "N889VF" is on the lower rear fuselage with a brown drop shadow. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass leading up to trees in the distance under flat grey sky, with a tall electricity pylon reaching into the sky, with wires stretching across the width of the frame.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined, World War 2-era bomber aircraft taxiing along a runway from left to right. The plane is covered in an olive-green and grey camouflage scheme, with thick black and white bands around the lower rear fuselage. There are very pale letters "HT-E" either side of a blue, white, and red roundel outlined in yellow. There is a blue, white, and red fin flash on the lower part of the tail, above the black serial "RR299" on the upper rear fuselage. Lush green grass fills the foreground, with more grass leading up to a house and a fire truck in the distance, with trees beyond, under hazy grey skies.
