Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner parked facing to the left. The plane is mostly white, with a blue belly, and blue "Kabo Air" titles on the upper forward fuselage, between the upper and lower deck cabin windows. A blue circle with a red outline is on the tail, with a stylised white lightning bolt (or possibly upper case letter "N") in the middle. A tall, grey lighting pole in the foreground partially obscures the tail-cone and tail. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with various white airport trucks and mobile airstairs gathered in the bottom right corner. Trees fill the background, under grey skies.

Low front view of a 3 engined jet airliner parked facing to the right on gravel. The plane is white on top, with a grey lower half, and a thick stripe that used to be dark blue but is now faded to dark green running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows. There are red and white letters "BEA" on the upper forward fuselage, and a partial UK flag on the now-green tail. The underside of the wings is red. A long yellow pushback pole is attached to the nosewheel. White airstairs are attached to the front and rear cabin doors on the far side of the plane. Trees fill the background on the left of the frame, with a rather square and boxy green metal frame taking up most of the rest of the background, and the grey tail of another plane on the right, all under gorgeous blue sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left along a grey taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a red and yellow stripe coming from under the forward fuselage, sweeping up over the wings, and along the rear fuselage, the red getting wider as it moves rearwards, until it fills the tail. There is a second yellow stripe on the rear fuselage, and yellow swirls on the tail, with a smaller version of the red and yellow tail appearing on the up-turned wingtips. There are red titles on the upper forward fuselage, in a Chinese script forward of the mid-cabin door, and in English aft of that door. The black registration "B-1020"is on the upper rear fuselage. The top floor and grey roof of an airport building stretches across the foreground, very pale blue very large fuel tanks in the background, behind a grey and blue low building, meeting foggy grey sky.

Side view of a light helicopter hovering just a couple of metres above a grass runway. The chopper is a deep blue, with a gold stripe running along the body, and the gold registration "G-OJGC" on the long tail boom. Green grass fills the foreground and large parts of the background, with bushes and tyres in the distance marking the airfield perimeter, under grey-blue sky.
