Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving rapidly from left to right on a slightly damp runway. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue belly, dark blue "British Airways" titles on the forward fuselage below the forward cabin windows, below the forward and mid-cabin doors, and a twisted blue and red ribbon on the upper forward fuselage, just aft of the cockpit. There are 3 wavy lines (red, blue, red) on the tail. The rear half of the blue engine pods mounted under the wings has slid back, exposing the engine thrust reversers. The spray from the nose and main wheel suggests this plane is moving pretty fast, while the flaps extended from the rear of the wings and the open thrust reversers suggest this plane has just landed. Strips of green grass line the runway and a taxiway in the foreground, while trees are visible over the top of this plane in the background. The blue tail and blue and white fuselage of another plane can be seen in the background on the right. Dreary grey skies fill the rest of the frame.

Rather tilted side view of a red and white military jet trainer aircraft parked facing to the left on green grass. The plane is white on top and red on the bottom, with the top of the nose-cone painted black, in front of the cockpit. There is a painting of a bird in flight, outlined in white, on the side of the red nose-cone, and red text "The Macaws" on the side of the white tail, under a red, white, and blue fin flash. There are wing-tip fuel tanks, painted red, with a slightly swirly white stripe running along the middle. A green tarpaulin cover is strapped down over the cockpit. Green grass fills the foreground, and much of the background on the left, with a grey prefabricated building on the right, a white sign with red text "Security Point" towards the middle of the frame. Pale blue sky with thin grey haze towards the horizon fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway. The plane is largely white, with a cream-coloured lower and rear fuselage, separated by a green and gold stripe coming from under the lower forward fuselage, then running over the wing and towards the tail-cone. There are large, green, billboard-style "PIA" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, over smaller, golden, "Pakistan International" text. Green Arabic calligraphy sits on the side of the forward fuselage, between the cockpit windows and forward passenger windows. The green registration "AP-BGY" is on the lower rear fuselage, under the rear-most cabin windows, with black text "Boeing 777-300ER" underneath, and green Arabic text just above those windows. The tail is mostly dark green, with a white star above a white crescent moon, with white waves at the base. The large engines, mounted under the wings, are the same cream colour as the rear fuselage. Green grass fills the foreground, with grey sky filling the rest of the frame.

Side view of a very large, white, 4 engined jet airliner moving from right to left . The plane is mostly white, with purple "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and a scarlet red rear fuselage and tail, with white "Virgin" titles. The upturned wing-tips have part of a waving Union Flag. The engine pods slung under the wings are the same scarlet red, with the rear 1/3rd of the cowling having moved backwards to expose the thrust reversers, which along with the flaps hanging from the rear of the wings is slowing the plane after landing. Taxiways lined with strips of grass fill the foreground, with a grey terminal building with several planes parked in front of it stretching across the frame, under grey-blue skies.

Side view of a white, single-engined light aircraft taxiing from right to left on a grass airfield. There is a blue and red stripe running along the body, with the blue registration "G-CGMH" on the lower rear fuselage. The outer panels on the wings are tilted slightly upwards, with the tips painted red. There are white spats covering the fixed main wheels under the wings, with a pair of thin blue stripes running along the sides. Green grass fills most of the frame, with a high-winged, single engined light aircraft parked just behind this one. Trees stretch across the frame in the distance, under grey-blue skies.

Low-down close-up of the nose and cockpit of a three-engined jet airliner, parked facing to the right, with the rest of the fuselage and tail visible on the left of the frame. The plane is white on the top, with a grey lower half, and a dark blue stripe, faded to green, running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows. There are white "BEA" titles with large red drop-shadows on the upper forward fuselage. The black registration "G-AWZK" is on the lower rear fuselage, just forward of the side-mounted engines. The centre-engine intake at the bottom of the front of the tail has a red baffle inside, with white text "Trident Three" on the side of the faded green intake, and a quarter of a British flag on the side of the tail. A long yellow pole is attached to the plane's nose-wheel, running out of the lower right of the frame. A set of white air-stairs is parked against the forward door on the other side of the plane. Grey gravel fills the bottom of the frame, with another, military grey aeroplane visible under this plane's nose. Trees and a large, green metal box tower over the plane on the left of the frame. Vivid blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right at a busy airport. The plane is largely white, with large, dark blue "Kuwait" titles on the forward fuselage just aft of the forward door, and a small Kuwaiti flag just forward of the door. A large, blue, stylised bird covers the rear of the tail and lower rear fuselage, with the black registration "9K-AKM" on the upper rear fuselage, over the birds head. A smaller, white bird is also on the tail. The white engine pods under the wing have a diagonal blue band around the rear, and a dark blue flying bird at the front.# Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with the tail of a blue jet airliner on the left of the background, and the nose and forward fuselage of a grey and red jet airliner on the right, both parked facing grey cargo sheds, with trees behind that.

The plane is largely blue, with a white belly that swoops up over the wings and back down again. There are large, red "TUI" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the black web address "TuiDotCom" on the side of the white engine pods under the wings. The first and last letters of the white registration "G" and "O" are on the upper rear fuselage, just ahead of a small UK flag, with the white text "Boeing 737-800" just ahead of the horizontal stabiliser. The tail is blue, with a red icon that resembles a slightly smooshed up winky-face made up of the letters "T", "U", and "I". Green and brown grass fills the foreground, with more grass on the far side of the runway. Trees stretch across the background, under blue sky with fluffs of grey and white clouds.
