Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and undercarriage lowered, suggesting the plane is about to land. The plane is mostly white and the front, and a silvery grey at the rear, separated by a diagonal red band that runs from under the body forward of the wings to over the top just in front of the tail. Ther are red "Air Arabia Dot Com" titles on the forward fuselage, in English above the passenger windows and in an Arabic script below the windows. The tail is red, with a large image of a white flying bird, a logo repeated in red on the side of the engine pods under the wings. The black registration "CN-NML" is on the side of the upper rear fuselage, just above the rearmost cabin windows, , just ahead of a small Morrocan flag, with small, red text "Airbus A320" just below those windows. The dark grey shadow of the wing can be seen on the lower rear fuselage, suggesting that the sun is fairly low off to the right of the frame. Pale blue sky with occasional wisps of white cloud fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a small, red, single-seat bi-plane flying from right to left at a very low altitude, just a couple of metres above the ground, quite possibly in the middle of taking off. The plane is almost entirely red, with a pair of white stripes running along the body, looping in from above and under the engine cowling in the nose, overlaid with the white registration "G-HOON" on the side of the rear fuselage. A similar design, minus the registration, is on the spats covering the main landing gear at the front of the plane. The front half of the tail is the same bright red, with white text "Pitts S-1S" at the top, while the rear is covered in a red and white chequerboard pattern. The wings are red, with similar but thicker white lines running from front to back, and along the width. Green grass fill the rest of the frame, blurred into a smear, with the plane casting a strong shadow on the airfield below it, suggesting the sun is fairly low down on the left of the frame.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft parked on grass facing to the left. The plane is a silvery-grey on top and white on the bottom, with the red registration "G-BOPU" on the rear fuselage. In then foreground, black tarmac is on the right, with green grass on the left. In the background, a white and red, twin propellor-engined aircraft is parked facing to the right on the left of the frame, with the red and brown tail of another single engined plane facing to the left on the right of the frame, and a small helicopter behind that. Trees line the airport perimeter in the distance, under pale blue sky.

Side view of a blue helicopter parked on a concrete landing pad, surrounded by green grass. There is a gold stripe running along the body, with large gold text "R44" above smaller gold text "Raven II" just aft of the cockpit doors. The gold Registration "G-OGJC" sis on the long, blue tail-boom, which has a 2-bladed, black and white stripes rotor at the end, above a red and white striped pole attached to the underside of the boom. A tall blue fairing is wrapped around the main rotor mast. Green grass in the background stretches off into the distance, with trees on the horizon meeting blue sky with fluffs of white cloud.
