B747

A single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left in the middle of a grass field. The plane is mostly white, with a pair of thin grey stripes starting from the engine cowling, running backwards and getting wider as it moves rearwards, under a single, thin red stripe, with a similar design on the spats over the undercarriage. The text "Piper Archer II" is on the upper rear fuselage, just behind the cockpit, followed by a block of text in an Arabic script, and a small Palestinian flag with the words "Free Palestine" across the middle in white and black text. Larger grey and red diagonal bands can be seen on the white tail. Green grass fills the foreground, with several light aircraft parked on more grass in the background, leading up to trees meeting grey sky in the distance.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner flying from right to left at a very low altitude, with undercarriage extended, flaps deployed from the front and rear of the wings, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is mostly white, with large purple "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and an image of a flying woman wearing a red leotard and a cape made out of a British flag under the cockpit windows. The tail and rear fuselage is a vibrant red, with white, hand-written "Virgin" titles. The engine pods mounted under the wings are the same red, as are the planes up-turned wing-tips. Green grass fills the foreground, while a grey terminal building stretches across the background, with a tall grey tower with black top floors soars into the grey sky on the left.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The planes id largely white with partially obscured "Thomas Cook" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, and the black registration "LY-VEB" on the lower rear fuselage. A diagonal light grey and orange band covers the rear fuselage, below the grey tail, which has a large yellow and orange love heart in the middle. Vivid blue sky with occasional light fluffs of thin cloud fills the background.

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.

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.

Slightly elevated side view of a twin-engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane is mostly white, with billboard-style, red and green "TAP" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, with smaller "Air Portugal " titles above the windows at the front of the passenger cabin. The tail has part of those same large red and green titles, with white "Express" titles arranged vertically in the long stroke of the red letter "P". Grey concrete apron marked with lines for planes to follow fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it has just landed. The plane has purple "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the upper mid-fuselage, with an image of a woman wearing a red mini-dress flying through the air and trailing a Union Flag positioned under the cockpit windows on the forward fuselage. The tail is a bright metallic red, with seemingly hand-drawn "Virgin" titles. The engine pods slung under the wings are the same metallic red. The squared-off up-turned wingtips have a waving modified Union Flag. Green grass fills the foreground, with trees dominating the background, under grey-blue skies.

Side view of a small, single-engined biplane light aircraft taxiing from left to right on a grass airfield. The plane is mostly red, with a pair of white stripes running along the body, overlaid with the white registration "G-HOON" on the rear fuselage. White text on the tail reads "Pitts", in a rather ornate font, with smaller "S-1S" text in a more normal typeface below. The rear, moving portion of the tail is painted in a red and white checkerboard pattern. The upper surfaces of the wings and horizontal stabiliser are covered in a red and white sunburst pattern. The plane's pilot can be seen through the close, blue-tinted cockpit canopy, wearing a grey cloth flying helmet. Short green grass fills the foreground, with slightly longer grass filling the background.

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.
