Side view of a twin propellor-engined airliner flying from right to left at a very low altitude, it's wheels just centimetres above the black runway, it's raised nose suggesting it is taking off. The plane is largely white, with a black belly, red "LoganAir" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and black text "Scotland's Airline" on the upper rear. The black registration "G-LGNE" is on the lower rear fuselage. The tail and part of the rear fuselage is covered in a red, black, and white tartan. The engine pods, mounted slightly above the wings, are mostly red, with a black bottom. Green grass lines the black runway in the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance, with pale grey-blue sky filling the rest of the frame.

Rear side view of a white, large twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. There is a thick, very pale blue stripe running along the body, overlaid with green "Cathay Pacific" on the forward fuselage. There is a thick green band around the tail, with a thick, white brush stroke resembling a flying bird in the middle, a design repeated in a smaller form under the cockpit. An array of blue and white or yellow and white planes are lined up, facing in various directions in the background. Rows of trees stretch across the rear of the frame, marking the edge of the airfield, under grey skies.

The plane is mostly white, with a red and yellow stripe running along the body, spilling over the front of the wings, and running up and down to fill the rear fuselage, with a second yel;low stripe on the upper rear. The tail is red, with yellow swirls in the middle. There are red "Hainan Airlines" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just aft of the forward mid-cabin door, with the same titles in a Chinese script further forward, partially obscured by the wing. There is black text "Boeing 787-8" under the rear-most cabin windows, above larger, yellow "DreamLiner" text. The black registration "B-2731" si on the upper rear fuselage, with the number "2731" repeated on the sides of the open nose-wheel doors. White engine pods, with scalloped rear edges, are suspended under the wings. Green grass fills the foreground, with trees in the background, those on the left blurred by the jellyfied hot air coming from the rear of the engines. Blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

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.

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.
