Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered from the rear of the engine pods on the wings, and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The front of the plane is white, with the rear fuselage and tail being purple, and a diagonal, pale purple stripe running from under the forward fuselage, to the top of the rear fuselage, just under the tail. The black registration "G-JECP" is on a light purple fillet in front of the tail, and diagonal white "FlyBe" titles over 6 white dots on the tail. Blue sky with smears of grey cloud fill the background.

Side view of a yellow, high-winged, single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the right on short-0mown grass. The plane has blue stripes running along the top and bottom of the rear fuselage, swooping above and below the cockpit, respectively. The blue registration "G-RODW" is on the side of the rear fuselage, and diagonal grey "EuroFox" text behind the large, highly-glazed cockpit door. Short green grass fills the foreground and part of the background, with the tail of a similar yellow aircraft with the black registration "G-FOKS" peeking out from behind this plane's cockpit, on the right. Longer grass leads off to trees in the distance, under blue sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, just a few metres above a black runway, with flaps extended in front of and behind the wings, the undercarriage lowered, and the nose raised, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is blue on top, with a white lower third, the white swooping up over the wing and back down again. There are red "Thomson" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and a red winky-face made up of the letters "T", "U", and "I" on the blue tail. The blue on the rear fuselage, just in front of and below the tail, swops downwards, the space filles by a dark blue patch. The white registration "G-TUID" is on the dark blue part of the upper rear fuselage, next to a small UK flag, above the rearmost cabin windows and just ahead of the rear door, with white text "Boeing 787-8" just aft of the door. There is cream text "Dream)Liner" below the rear cabin windows. Large, white engine pods hang below and in front of the wing, the scalloped edges of the rear of the fairings being rather obvious. A black taxiway stretches across the bottom of the frame, with strips of grass separating that from the black runway, and more grass visible under the pane in the background leading up to trees in the distance, under bright but hazy sky with patches of pale blue peeking through.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right at a busy airport. The plane is largely white, with large, dark blue "Kuwait" titles on the forward fuselage just aft of the forward door, and a small Kuwaiti flag just forward of the door. A large, blue, stylised bird covers the rear of the tail and lower rear fuselage, with the black registration "9K-AKM" on the upper rear fuselage, over the birds head. A smaller, white bird is also on the tail. The white engine pods under the wing have a diagonal blue band around the rear, and a dark blue flying bird at the front.# Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with the tail of a blue jet airliner on the left of the background, and the nose and forward fuselage of a grey and red jet airliner on the right, both parked facing grey cargo sheds, with trees behind that.

The plane is largely blue, with a white belly that swoops up over the wings and back down again. There are large, red "TUI" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the black web address "TuiDotCom" on the side of the white engine pods under the wings. The first and last letters of the white registration "G" and "O" are on the upper rear fuselage, just ahead of a small UK flag, with the white text "Boeing 737-800" just ahead of the horizontal stabiliser. The tail is blue, with a red icon that resembles a slightly smooshed up winky-face made up of the letters "T", "U", and "I". Green and brown grass fills the foreground, with more grass on the far side of the runway. Trees stretch across the background, under blue sky with fluffs of grey and white clouds.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and undercarriage lowered, suggesting the plane is about to land. The plane is mostly white and the front, and a silvery grey at the rear, separated by a diagonal red band that runs from under the body forward of the wings to over the top just in front of the tail. Ther are red "Air Arabia Dot Com" titles on the forward fuselage, in English above the passenger windows and in an Arabic script below the windows. The tail is red, with a large image of a white flying bird, a logo repeated in red on the side of the engine pods under the wings. The black registration "CN-NML" is on the side of the upper rear fuselage, just above the rearmost cabin windows, , just ahead of a small Morrocan flag, with small, red text "Airbus A320" just below those windows. The dark grey shadow of the wing can be seen on the lower rear fuselage, suggesting that the sun is fairly low off to the right of the frame. Pale blue sky with occasional wisps of white cloud fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a small, red, single-seat bi-plane flying from right to left at a very low altitude, just a couple of metres above the ground, quite possibly in the middle of taking off. The plane is almost entirely red, with a pair of white stripes running along the body, looping in from above and under the engine cowling in the nose, overlaid with the white registration "G-HOON" on the side of the rear fuselage. A similar design, minus the registration, is on the spats covering the main landing gear at the front of the plane. The front half of the tail is the same bright red, with white text "Pitts S-1S" at the top, while the rear is covered in a red and white chequerboard pattern. The wings are red, with similar but thicker white lines running from front to back, and along the width. Green grass fill the rest of the frame, blurred into a smear, with the plane casting a strong shadow on the airfield below it, suggesting the sun is fairly low down on the left of the frame.
