Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left and turning slightly to it's right, following a yellow line marked on the grey taxiway to it's gate. The plane is predominantly white, with light and dark green and red "TAP" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, with smaller, white text "Express" arranged vertically on the vertical stroke of the red letter "P", and smaller, black "Air Portugal" titles on the upper mid-fuselage, over the front of the wing root. The web address "Fly Tap Dot Com" is on the upper rear fuselage, ahead of the rear door, with a small Portugese flag, small black text "Embraer 190", and black registration "CS-TPS" arranged in vertical rows just aft of the door. Part of the green and red "TAP" logo is repeated on the white tail, the white text "Express" being the most prominent part. The up-turned wing-tips also feature part of the red and green "TAP" logo, this time with the red at the front. A grey metal structure surrounded by high mesh metal fences topped with razor wire fills the foreground, with grey concrete apron filling the background, and a strip of green grass at the top of the frame.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner parked on a runway facing to the left. The plane has a very pale blue, thick stripe running along the body under the passenger cabin windows, with a green stylised flying bird that looks as if drawn by a single stroke of a brush behind the cockpit, and green "Cathay Pacific" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The tail is green with a larger white version of the bird logo. The upturned wingtips are also green, this time with just the tips of the birds wings bleeding through from the white underside of the planes wings. The engine pods slung under the wings are the same pale blue as the body stripe. A wide strip of green grass dominates the foreground, with a black mesh metal fence stretching across the bottom of the frame. In the distance, grey hangars can be seen under the planes nose, with a wide grey terminal under the mid and rear fuselage, Blue sky with smears of thin grey cloud fill the rest of the frame.

The nose and forward fuselage of a large, military jet bomber aircraft, mounted on a red metal cradle, and pointed to the right of the frame. The remnant of the plane is mostly covered in a faded grey and brown camouflage scheme, with a pale grey belly, and a large, blue and red roundel on the side of the fuselage, under the cockpit. A white sign can be seen on the front of the metal cradle, the top reading "Tickets for the Vulcan cockpit", the rest being cut off. Cars can be seen in the background, parked on a large grassed area, with white buildings in the distance on the right, and rolling hills on the left, under grim grey sky.

Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined BizProp rotating as it takes off, moving from right to left with it's nose-wheel lifted off the ground and main wheels just lifting. There is a thin gold and blue stripe running along the body, turning up into the tail and getting wider, the gold stripe wrapping over the top of the body, the blue stripe forming the front of the tail. Ther registration "G-LYDF" is on the lower part of the tail, reflecting low but strong sunlight. The plane's pilot can be seen through the cockpit side window, but the dark cabin doesn't reveal any passengers. Green grass fills most of the foreground, with more grass leading up to a large grey hangar on the right, and the forward fuselage of a white jet airliner with blue and red "Avro RJX" titles on the side on the left of the frame. Leafless trees and grey sky fill the rest of the frame.
