ATR72

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left, turning on to a grey runway. The plane is in a silver finish, with dark blue "SkyTeam" titles on the upper forward fuselage, above the forward cabin windows, and smaller "Air France" titles under those windows. The rear fuselage has some dark blue scrollwork, next to the black registration "F-GKXS" on the upper rear fuselage. The dark blue tail has a thin crescent forming the bottom of a white circle, the white word "SkyTeam" forming the top, and has some more white scrollwork in the middle. Green grass lines the sides of the taxiway in the foreground, with blue-grey sky filling the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving at speed from right to left along a black runway. The plane is largely white, with purple "EuroWings" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and smaller, black registration "D-AEWR" just aft of small EU and German flags on the upper rear. Pale blue and purple swirls adorn the tail and tail cone, some connected by grey swirls. Bright sunlight reflects strongly off one of the open landing gear doors under the wing, suggesting that the sun is more or less behind the camera. Green grass fills the foreground, lining the side of the runway, with more grass visible under the plane in the background, with trees in the distance under pale blue sky with purple fluffs of cloud.

Yellow and red diagonal bands around the rear body lead into the white tail and tail-cone, with diagonal two-tone blue "FlyBe" titles over 2 yellow, 2red, and 2 purple dots on the tail. At the top of the tail, just above the horizontal stabiliser, there is black "ATR 72-600" text. Green grass stretches across the foreground, lining the side of the runway,. In the background, more grass leads up to a grey terminal building in the distance, with the tail of a very large, white airliner visible over the top of this plane.

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 the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land.. The plane is mostly white, with an orange stripe running from the top of the fuselage above the cockpit to the lower fuselage behind the wing, orange engine pods mounted under the wings, orange flap track covers under the wings, and a diagonal orange band wrapped around the rear fuselage and tail. There are diagonal white "EasyJet" titles on the tail, and the black registration "G-EZOU" on the side of the upper rear fuselage and under the outer panels of the left wing, as well as the last 2 letters of the registration "OU" on the open nose wheel doors. The orange up-turned wing-tips have the same diagonal white "EasyJet" titles as on the tail. At the bottom of the frame, a road runs from one side to the other, with a tall, grey, metal fence behind, with tall yellow metal towers with lights on top. A white car is parked in a layby on the bottom left. Blue sky with fluffs of white sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a small helicopter hovering a few metres above a grassy field, facing to the left. The copter is in a metallic blue livery, with a large golden zig-zag stripe on the side of the fuselage, partially missing because the doors aren't being carried on this flight, and the golden registration "G-GHIZZ" on the long, thin tail boom. A man is sitting in the left seat in the cockpit, holding a camera as he takes a photo towards the viewer. Green grass in the background leads up to trees stretching across the frame in the distance, and a tall electricity pylon with cables that reach across the frame, under cloudy white sky.

Side view of a red, single-engined biplane taxiing from left to right on a grass airfield. A pair of white lines wrap above and below the engine cowling in the nose, then run towards the rear, getting thinner as they go, overlaid with the white registration "G-HOON" on the lower rear fuselage, just aft of the bubble canopy over the single seat cockpit. The text "Pitts S-1S" is on the top half of the front of the red tail, with a red and white checkerboard pattern on the rear. The checkerboard pattern is repeated on the outer faces of the undersides of the wings. The white propellor at the front is a spinning white blur. Red spats over the main wheels have similar white stripes on the side Green grass fills the rest of the frame.
