Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving from left to righ along a runway. 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, 4 engined jet airliner moving from right to left along a black runway. The plane is almost entirely white, with small, black "Jota" and orange "Aviation" titles on the side of the upper forward fuselage, and black registration "G-JOTR" on the lower rear fuselage, and black and orange bands around the rear fuselage and the front of the tail. There are similar orange and black stripes running along the length of the white engine pods slung under the wings. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass on the far side of the runway, and a black taxiway running through, with trees in the distance, under blue sky.

The plane is mostly white, with a pale blue belly, and light and dark blue "FlyBe" titles on the side of the forward fuselage. There is the light blue web address "WWWDotFlyBeDotCom"on the side of the white engine pods on the front of the wings, again with a pale blue belly, and the black registration "G-LGNO" on the upper rear fuselage. The large, pale blue text "Fly" is just in front of the horizontal stabiliser at the rear of the fuselage, with dark blue "Be" diagonally on the white tail, just above. Green grass fills the foreground, lining the near side of the runway, with a grass bank on the far side meeting trees in the distance, under flat grey sky.

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.

Side view of a yellow, high-winged, single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the right on short-0mown grass. The plane has blue stripes running along the top and bottom of the rear fuselage, swooping above and below the cockpit, respectively. 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.

Rear view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner facing directly away from the camera. The plane is almost entirely white, with a red band around the rear fuselage, with a green and black diagonal stripe visible on the tail, and a red patch under the body. A large engine under each of the massive wings (and another engine further out on each side) match the planes humungous fuselage and tail, and somehow manage to make the trees in the background seem small. Shooting through a chainlink fence results in some slight vignetting in the bottom half of the frame. Cloudy grey sky with streaks of blue fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving rapidly from left to right on a slightly damp runway. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue belly, dark blue "British Airways" titles on the forward fuselage below the forward cabin windows, below the forward and mid-cabin doors, and a twisted blue and red ribbon on the upper forward fuselage, just aft of the cockpit. There are 3 wavy lines (red, blue, red) on the tail. The rear half of the blue engine pods mounted under the wings has slid back, exposing the engine thrust reversers. The spray from the nose and main wheel suggests this plane is moving pretty fast, while the flaps extended from the rear of the wings and the open thrust reversers suggest this plane has just landed. Strips of green grass line the runway and a taxiway in the foreground, while trees are visible over the top of this plane in the background. The blue tail and blue and white fuselage of another plane can be seen in the background on the right. Dreary grey skies fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway. The plane is largely white, with a cream-coloured lower and rear fuselage, separated by a green and gold stripe coming from under the lower forward fuselage, then running over the wing and towards the tail-cone. There are large, green, billboard-style "PIA" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, over smaller, golden, "Pakistan International" text. Green Arabic calligraphy sits on the side of the forward fuselage, between the cockpit windows and forward passenger windows. The green registration "AP-BGY" is on the lower rear fuselage, under the rear-most cabin windows, with black text "Boeing 777-300ER" underneath, and green Arabic text just above those windows. The tail is mostly dark green, with a white star above a white crescent moon, with white waves at the base. The large engines, mounted under the wings, are the same cream colour as the rear fuselage. Green grass fills the foreground, with grey sky filling the rest of the frame.
