Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with diagonal light and blue bands around the plane's nose, with large black "China Airlines" titles on the upper forward fuselage, next to larger blue "Cargo" text. The black registration "B-18721" is under the upper deck windows, as well as on the upper rear fuselage. The tail is white at the top and a pale purple at the bottom, with a pink and red flower filling most of the rest. The roof of a terminal building fills the foreground, with large air conditioning ducts in the middle, with large grey metal structures on either side of the screen. A large grey hangar fills most of the background, with a white and blue twin engined jet airliner parked in front. Hazy grey skies fill the rest of the frame.

A white, twin engined jet airliner flying over head from left to right at a very low altitude. It has it's undercarriage lowered, and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with a maroon stripe running along the body, covering the lower deck windows, and maroon "Qatar Airways" titles on the forward fuselage, in an Arabic script between the upper and lower deck windows, and in English below the lower deck windows. The tail is also maroon, with the white head of a horned, goat-like animal inside the outline of a white circle. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a large grey hangar in the background on the left, several pale blue fuel tanks towards the middle, and a selection of other airport buildings on the right. Trees in the distance slowly vanish into a bright but hazy 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.
