AirFrance

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.

Side view of a twin-engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage still lowered, flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is white, with dark blue "Air France" titles on the upper forward fuselage, next to a short, diagonal, red stripe, with the black registration "F-GKXM" on the upper rear fuselage. The tail is white, with a series of 3 dark blue diagonal stripes, the thickest at the front and the thinnest at the rear, followed by a shorter, thick red stripe, and a circle made up of small gold stars at the top of the first stripe. Bright sunlight reflects strongly from the side of the fuselage, mostly running along the area around the passenger cabin windows, and the tail. Blue sky with a hint of grey haze fills the rest of the frame.

Low-down close-up of the nose and cockpit of a three-engined jet airliner, parked facing to the right, with the rest of the fuselage and tail visible on the left of the frame. The plane is white on the top, with a grey lower half, and a dark blue stripe, faded to green, running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows. There are white "BEA" titles with large red drop-shadows on the upper forward fuselage. The black registration "G-AWZK" is on the lower rear fuselage, just forward of the side-mounted engines. The centre-engine intake at the bottom of the front of the tail has a red baffle inside, with white text "Trident Three" on the side of the faded green intake, and a quarter of a British flag on the side of the tail. A long yellow pole is attached to the plane's nose-wheel, running out of the lower right of the frame. A set of white air-stairs is parked against the forward door on the other side of the plane. Grey gravel fills the bottom of the frame, with another, military grey aeroplane visible under this plane's nose. Trees and a large, green metal box tower over the plane on the left of the frame. Vivid blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a black taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a thin, diagonal band running from under the forward fuselage, just aft of the nose-wheel, to over the top of the centre-fuselage, just aft of the wings, and large, green "PIA" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, between the upper and lower passenger decks, partially covering some of the lower deck windows. There is some ornate Arabic calligraphy on the upper forward fuselage, just below and aft of the cockpit, which takes the name of the airline in Arabic and turns it into a piece of art. There is a waving green flag on the white tail, with a white star and crescent moon in the centre. Damp, black apron fills the foreground, with a multitude of airliners, mostly white with orange, blue, green, and red highlights, parked in the background, mostly facing to the right, but a couple on the right of the frame are facing left. Tall lighting poles are dotted around the planes in the background, reaching up to the sky. Trees in the distance give way to a rolling landscape, with buildings and more trees leading off to the horizon, meeting cloudy grey skies.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on grass. The plane is mostly white, with a grey band wrapped around the lower rear fuselage, and a thin red pinstripe running along the middle of the body. The white registration "G-SGSE" is on the side of the lower rear fuselage, under the small black text "Archer II" and a block of text in a flowing Arabic script, which has a small Palestinian flag overlaid with the words "Free Palestine" through the middle next to it. A red stripe and a pair of grey stripes run through the middle of the spats on the tri-cycle under-carriage. Green grass fills the foreground, with several more light aircraft parked on more grass in the background. Trees line the airfield perimeter, meeting blue sky with patches of fluffy cloud.
