Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a black runway, with flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings. It is turning off the runway onto a taxiway, which suggests it has just landed. The plane is largely white, with a thick purple stripe running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows, with an orange pinstripe below, over a thin gold stripe that gets wider as it moves rearwards, curving down to run under the rear fuselage. There are purple "Singapore Airlines" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just forward of a small Singapore flag. The up-turned wingtips are mostly the same purple, with a bright orange diagonal stripe along the trailing edge. This design is repeated on the tail, with the addition of a highly stylised, golden flying bird in the middle. Green grass fills the foreground, a black sign with a pair of white chevrons pointing left in the bottom right corner, and a black metal mesh fence on black support struts in the lower right. More grass in the background leads up to trees in the distance, under blue-grey sky.

Low view of a twin-engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with barely visible, dark blue "Lufthansa" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The tail and rear fuselage are dark blue, with the outline of a silver circle containing a silver stylised flying bird on the tail. The registration "D-AIKP" is on the lower rear fuselage in black, next to a small German flag, with the letters "KP" repeated on the open section of the nose wheel doors. Bright blue sky fills the rest of the frame, with bright sunlight coming from the right.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right, following a yellow line marked on a grey concrete taxiway. The plane is almost entirely blue, with large, white "Zoom" titles on the sides of the forward fuselage, covering the passenger cabin windows, and smaller, white web address "WWWDotFlyZoomDotCom"on the upper mid fuselage, over the rear of the wings. The small white registration "C-GZMM" is on the upper rear fuselage, above the rearmost passenger windows, just forward of a small, red and white Canadian flag, above smaller white text "Boeing 767-300ER" under those windows. Large, white, diagonal "Zoom" titles are on the blue tail. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a variety of jet airliners, mostly white with blue or red highlights, parked in the background, with tall lighting poles reaching into the sky scattered amongst them. Brown trees run across the frame in the distance, with buildings and rolling hills beyond that at the top of the frame, under grey-blue sky.
