Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving at speed from right to left along a black runway, with flaps hanging down from the front and rear of the wing, as well as spoilers raised on top of the rear of the wing, and thrust reverser doors open in the rear of the engine pods under the wings, suggesting it is decelerating hard after landing. The plane is largely silver, with black "SkyTeam" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and smaller blue "Czech Airlines" titles just aft of a red triangle with silver "CSA" text in the middle on the lower forward fuselage, just ahead of the wing. There is some elaborate dark blue scrollwork on the side of the rear fuselage, just ahead of the black registration "OK-PET" on the upper rear, above small Czech and EU flags. The tail is the same dark blue, with silver "SkyTeam" text in a semi-circle, with a silver crescent completing the circle, and a smaller, silver version of the scrollwork logo in the middle. A grey taxiway stretches across the bottom of the frame, with a strip of green grass separating that from the runway, with more grass in the background leading up to trees and bushes in the distance, with a hill vanishing into the grey sky beyond that.

Front side view of a twin engined jet airliner parked facing to the right, nose-in to it's gate, as seen from inside the terminal building. The plane is largely white, with large, red, apparently hand written "Leisure" titles on the forward fuselage and a thick blue strip running along the body under a thin red pinstripe. The black registration "G-UKLJ" is on the upper rear fuselage, with the last two letters, LJ, repeated on the open nose-gear doors. The tail is white, with half of a waving UK flag in the middle. The bed of a white and pink catering truck is raised to the open rear door of the plane, with a low, white, baggage belt by an open cargo door in the belly just behind the wings, and another cargo door open in front of the wings. In the background, on the right, a brown and cream terminal building stretches across the frame from the right, with a couple of planes parked in front, with pale blue sky filling the rest of the frame.

Side view of a helicopter flying from right to left at a very low altitude, about 5 metres above the ground. It is white upper surfaces on the front of the body, with light blue "National Grid" titles on the side of the engine bay on top of the fuselage. The bottom is sky blue, sweeping up towards the rear of the fuselage, and filling the tail boom, with diagonal lime green and red stripes on the rear fuselage, and the white registration "G-RIDB" on the side of the tail boom. Green grass fills the bottom of the frame, with a row of bushes across the middle with a wooden gate with a red and white striped top bar in the centre. Trees fill most of the rest of the frame, with grey sky at the top.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving from right to left at speed along a runway with flaps slightly extended behind the wings, and the nose raised slightly, suggesting it is taking off.The plane is largely white, with large, blue, billboard-style "IcelandAir" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, partially covering the passenger cabin windows. The registration "TF-ICC" is on the upper rear fuselage, next to a small Icelandic flat. A thin light blue stripe wraps around the rear fuselage and the leading edge of the tail, with a thicker dark blue stripe wraps around the tail-cone and the rest of the tail, with a white, waving, double ribbon in the middle. A black taxiway winds it's way through a large grassed area in the foreground, with more grass visible under the planes in the background. The dark blue and yellow tail of another jet airliner is visible over the rear fuselage of this one, with trees beyond that in the distance, under grim grey sky.

Side view of a twin jet-engined, military light bomber taxiing from left to right along a black runway with it's wings folded up. The plane is covered in an olive-green and grey camouflage, with blue and red roundels on the lower forward fuselage, under the cockpit, and under the outer wing panels, the latter visible because the wings are raised into their stowed position. There is a blue and red fin flash on the tail, next to the grey number "864". The cockpit canopy is in the slid back position, with both crew members visible in their tandem seats. Green grass lines the runway in the foreground, with a large grey building dominating the background on the right, with rolling, tree covered hills fading into the hazy grey sky.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left, along a grey taxiway. The plane has red "Jet2DotCom" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the black registration "CS-WFP" just aft of a small Portugese flag on the lower rear. The tail is a deep blue, with a stylised number "2" made up of red, mint green, and light blue sections. The engine pods mounted under the wings are the same deep blue as the tail, with the up-turned wing-tips are the same mint green as in the number on the tail. A strip of green grass stretches across the foreground, with a grey cargo building stretching across the background with a grey and red jet airliner parked in front on the right. A couple of grey buildings with hotel logos on top are visible over the top off that building, with trees beyond them, under hazy grey skies.

Side front view of a high-winged, single engined light aircraft parked facing to the left in a field of grass. The plane is mostly white, with a blue and red swirly stripe running along the body and up into the tail, overlaid with the blue registration "G-BNTP" on the side of the rear fuselage. An orange traffic cone, filled with weights, is attached to the underside of each wing, weighing it down in case of high winds. Another plane can be seen in the background on the left, under this planes wing, with more grass, and trees in the distance visible under the wing on the right. Flat white sky fills the rest of the frame.
