AirFrance

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.

Front side view of a twin engined jet airliner parked facing to the right, nose-in to it's gate, as seen from inside the terminal building. The plane is largely white, with large, red, apparently hand written "Leisure" titles on the forward fuselage and a thick blue strip running along the body under a thin red pinstripe. The black registration "G-UKLJ" is on the upper rear fuselage, with the last two letters, LJ, repeated on the open nose-gear doors. The tail is white, with half of a waving UK flag in the middle. The bed of a white and pink catering truck is raised to the open rear door of the plane, with a low, white, baggage belt by an open cargo door in the belly just behind the wings, and another cargo door open in front of the wings. In the background, on the right, a brown and cream terminal building stretches across the frame from the right, with a couple of planes parked in front, with pale blue sky filling the rest of the frame.

Side view of a single engined light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low altitude, maybe 2 or 3 metres above a grass runway, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and flying straight and level, suggesting it is about to land, the fixed undercarriage not telling us anything. The plane is white, with a thin yellow and blue stripe running along the body, overlaid with the blue registration "G-LACB" on the side of the rear fuselage. There is a red star, with the side arms made from a pair of pilots wings, overlaid with an image of a light aircraft soaring into the sky, in the middle of the white tail. Grass fills the foreground and most of the background, with trees and bushes marking the airfield perimeter in the distance.

Front side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner moving from left to right along a black runway, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and the rear section of the white engine pods pushed backwards, revealing the thrust reversers, suggesting it has just landed. There are dark blue "Air France" titles on the upper forward fuselage, next to a short, red diagonal stripe, and the black registration "F-HZUR" on the upper rear. There is an image of a dark blue winged sea horse in the outline of a blue circle on the side of the front section of the white engine pods under the wings. 3 diagonal blue stripes, getting thinner as they move rearwards, followed by a shorter red stripe, adorn the tail, with a small circle of gold stars at the top. Green grass lines the side of the runway in the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance, with rolling hills beyond that, under pale blue sky.

Rear side view of a creamy green, high-winged, single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on grey tarmac. The large green registration "G-BVIV" is on the side of the rear fuselage. A large green hangar fills the background, it's wide, open entrance on the left of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a yellow stripe running along the lower body, and large yellow "Buzz" titles outlined in black on the forward fuselage. These titles are repeated over a yellow stripe on the sides of the engine pods, under the wings. There is dark blue text "by RyanAir" under the cockpit windows, and the black registration "SP-RZD" just aft of a white and red Polish flag on the upper rear fuselage. The tail is bright yellow, with a large cartoon image of a bee, with a large upper-case letter "B" on it's black and yellow striped chest. Green grass fills the foreground, partially obscured by a stretched-out roll of razorwire on top. More grass in the background leads up to trees in the distance, under blue sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left, turning on to a grey runway. The plane is in a silver finish, with dark blue "SkyTeam" titles on the upper forward fuselage, above the forward cabin windows, and smaller "Air France" titles under those windows. The rear fuselage has some dark blue scrollwork, next to the black registration "F-GKXS" on the upper rear fuselage. The dark blue tail has a thin crescent forming the bottom of a white circle, the white word "SkyTeam" forming the top, and has some more white scrollwork in the middle. Green grass lines the sides of the taxiway in the foreground, with blue-grey sky filling the rest of the frame.

Front side view of a glossy black helicopter parked facing to the right on grass, with the motor slowly spinning and the pilots door open. The grey registration "N520EA" is on the side of the engine pods on top of the fuselage, and grey text "MD520N" is on the top of the twin tails at the end of the long, fat tail boom. Notably, there is no vertical rotor at the end of the tail boom. There are 2 people sitting in the heavily glazed cockpit, the person sitting in the right-hand seat wearing a white shirt, and using their hands to demonstrate something to the person in the left hand seat, who is wearing a blue shirt. Green grass fills the foreground, with people sitting or standing behind a green metal mesh fence in the background, and a curved, green corrugated metal hangar behind them on the left, and a large brown brick building on the right. Pretty much everyone in the photo is wearing sunglasses, so it is probably a sunny day.
