Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left at a busy airport. The plane has large, red, billboard-style "Jet2" titles on the forward fuselage, smaller red "Friendly Low Fares" titles on the upper fuselage over the wings, red "Jet2.com" titles on the tail and engine pods, and red upturned wingtips with white "jet2.com" titles. Concrete taxiways fill the fireground, while a construction site stretches across the background, a large white metal frame being built, with a gap in the middle where nothing has been built yet but a yellow crane has it's boom extended vertically. A couple of other jet airliners can be seen through the metal frames, with trees in the distance, under grey skies.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the fuselage, flying from left to right at a very low altitude, it's main wheels just a couple of feet above the ground. There are flaps fully extended from behind the wing, and the nose is raised sharply, suggesting it is landing. The plane is mostly white, with blue "Air Littoral" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The tail has the blue outline of a circle, with 3 stylised blue flying birds inside. Grass fills the foreground, with more grass on the other side of the runway leading up to trees in the distance, with the fuselage of an old 3 engined jet airliner looking rather forlorn in front of them. Above it all, the sky is a flat grey. — F-GIO_, Fokker F100, Air Littoral, about to touch down on Runway 24 at Manchester Airport, some time in the 1990s, as seen from car park 3.

In the background, a white and red striped metal barrier runs most of the way across the frame from the left, seperating 2 sections of taxiway, with a small construction site at the end. In the background, a runway runs from one side of the frame to the other, lined with buildings on the far side, and with a very large dark blue and grey plane coming in to land, flying just feet above it. Trees lead off in to the distance, meeting a bright but hazy sky. — I-AEJB, Boeing 767-383ER, Air Europe Italia, at London Gatwick, 19th March 1993.
