AMS

Front side view of a microlight aircraft parked on grass, facing to the right, with its left wingtip resting on the ground. What little fuselage there is, is a metal frame covered in a carbon fibre shell, with a pair of tandem seats in an open cockpit on top, with a small engine driving a pusher propellor immediately behind, suspended under a large, triangular parasol wing. A small nosewheel is embedded in the forward shell, with main gear covered in yellow spats are on the end of outriggers attached just in front of the engine. The carbon fibre shell is bright yellow, with the wing being mostly yellow, and blue leading edges and cream trailing edge. The black registration "G-MTMW" is on the underside of the left side of the wing. Green grass fills most of the bottom of the frame, with another microlight with a yellow and purple wing on the right of the background, and a single engined light aircraft taxiing away from the camera on the left. Bright but hazy sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a high-winged, twin engined jet airliner lined up waiting for take off on a grey runway. The plane is largely white with a dark blue belly, and dark blue "British Airways" titles on the lower forward fuselage. A twisted, red and blue ribbon is on the upper forward fuselage, immediately aft of the cockpit windows, and the black registration "OY-NCL" is on the upper rear fuselage. The tail is white, with rippling red stripes either side of a rippling dark blue triangle in the middle. The horizontal stabiliser, mounted at the top of the tail, is casting it's own shadow on the top and front of the tail, which suggests that the sun is up in the top left corner somewhere. Green grass fills the foreground, lining both sides of the runway. Trees in the distance meet grey clouds and blue sky.

Low side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from behind the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly a glossy light blue with a white belly, the 2 colours separated by a dark blue stripe running along the body. There are white "KLM" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with blue "KLM" titles on the sides of the white tail and white engine pods. The rear fuselage and the wing-tips are blurred and grainy, with blooms of colour along shiny surfaces and edges. Lush blue sky fills the background, with hints of cloud on the left of the frame.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner facing to the left on a grey runway. The plane has a pale blue belly, and pale and dark blue "FlyBe" titles above a series of yellow, red, and purple dots on the forward fuselage. These titles are repeated on the sides of the engine cowlings with additional "[dot] com" titles, as well as on the tail, minus the dots. Green grass fills the bottom of the frame, with the razor-wire on the top of the perimeter fence visible right at the bottom. More grass in the background leads up to a large grey hangar in the distance on the right, and trees on the left, under blue-grey sky.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft parked on grass facing to the left. The plane is mostly white, with a large bubble canopy over the canopy, and a purple stripe running along the body, outlined in dark blue. A similar stripe adorns the top of the tail. Green grass fills the foreground, as well as most of the background, with trees in the distance. A grey and white light aircraft is parked on the left of the frame. Bright but hazy skies fill the top of the frame.

Front view of a blue, 2 seat gyrocopter parked facing the camera. The aircraft has no wings, but instead a rotor like a helicopter, but also has a pusher propellor at the rear. The fuselage is dark blue on the top surfaces, with a creamy white belly. It is parked on a small concrete slab surrounded by grass, with a brown wooden fence separating the airfield from parked cars, with tall trees behind, under pale grey skies.

Side view of a long, thin, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left as it turns on to a grey runway. The plane is mostly white, with grey "Scandinavian" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with additional "Airlines" titles on the lower forward fuselage. Smaller "Scandinavian" titles are on the sides of the white engine pods, mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, just in front of and below the tail. The blue registration "EC-MLC" is on the lower rear fuselage, just aft of a small Spanish flag, which itself is just aft of a stylised golden crown. On the upper rear fuselage, there is a 9*3 grid of coloured dots, representing the flags of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, the 3 countries for whom SAS is the nominal flag carrier. Slightly yellowing grass fills the foreground, along the side of the runway, while grey hangars are visible over the top of the plane in the background, under blue skies.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner moving from right to left along a runway with the rear panel of one of the engines slid back, exposing the thrust reversers, suggesting it has just landed. The plane is mostly white, with large gold "Emirates" titles in English on the upper forward fuselage, between the 2 rows of passenger windows, and smaller titles in an Arabic script a bit further back, over the wings. A waving United Arab Emirates flag (red vertical bar on the left, with equal green, white, and black stripes on the right) covers the tail and part of the rear fuselage. Golden calligraphic art made up of the characters that make up the airlines Arabic name adorns the engine pods, the cowling of the inner engines split as the rear portion has moved backwards to expose the thrust reversers. Another runway stretches across the foreground, lined by green grass, while a pair of large grey hangars dominate the background, under pale blue-grey sky.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at low angle with the undercarriage retracted and only a small amount of flaps from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is doing a flypast as part of a display routine. The plane is mostly white, with black "EuroDirect" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and an enormous, black, lower-case letter "e" , tilted slightly on it's side, on the rear fuselage. The tail is yellow, with a large, black, lower=case letter "e" in the middle. Grey sky fills the background.
