B757

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft parked on grass facing to the left. The plane is mostly white, with a large bubble canopy over the canopy, and a purple stripe running along the body, outlined in dark blue. A similar stripe adorns the top of the tail. Green grass fills the foreground, as well as most of the background, with trees in the distance. A grey and white light aircraft is parked on the left of the frame. Bright but hazy skies fill the top of the frame.

Front view of a blue, 2 seat gyrocopter parked facing the camera. The aircraft has no wings, but instead a rotor like a helicopter, but also has a pusher propellor at the rear. The fuselage is dark blue on the top surfaces, with a creamy white belly. It is parked on a small concrete slab surrounded by grass, with a brown wooden fence separating the airfield from parked cars, with tall trees behind, under pale grey skies.

Side view of a white and black, single engined aerobatic light aircraft parked on grass facing to the left. The plane has black top and bottom surfaces, with a thick white stripe running along the body, and gold piping in between. The registration "G-IITI" is on a thick white stripe on the black tail. There is a large, glazed canopy over the cockpit, with small white "Nigel Lamb" titles on the fuselage immediately behind the canopy. There are also glazed panels in the lower fuselage, under the wings. Black spats cover the wheels on the fixed landing gear. Green grass fills the foreground. A large, red brick hangar is on the right of the frame in the background, with smaller green buildings next to it, towards the middle of the frame. The tail of a white light aircraft and a small, camouflaged helicopter are in the background on the left. Cloudy grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on grass. The plane sis in a vaguely military-looking olive-green colour scheme, with large, seemingly random patches of white in several places, and the white registration "D-EARY" on the side of the rear fuselage. The engine cowling on the nose is bright yellow, with a large image of a rather aggressive-looking bird with it's mouth open in a screech, with a red banner with the words "Screaming Eagle" underneath. The tail has a black and white large checkerboard pattern on the front half, the rear half being bright yellow with a black and white fin flash towards the top. A section at the rear of the tail has a finer black and white checkerboard pattern. Green grass fills the rest of the frame, except for a dirt track crossing from one side to the other.

Side view of a long and thin, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from right to left along a black tarmac taxiway. The plane is largely white, with a thin blue and red stripe running along the body, overlaid with blue "BinAir" titles under the cockpit windows, and the black registration "D-CPSW" next to a small German flagon the side of the rear fuselage. The white tail has the blue letters "BA" underlined in red. Lush green grass fills the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to a black runway , and more grass leading up to trees in the distance, under grim grey sky. The centre fuselage and wingbox of a white, yellow, and blue jet airliner flying through the top left corner as it takes off.

Side view of a small, white helicopter parked on a muddy patch of grass next to an orange and white traffic cone. The chopper is almost entirely white, with golden "Adern" titles on the sides of the cockpit doors, and the golden registration "G-BRBY" on the tail boom. 2 people can be seen in the cockpit, obviously having a discussion about something judging by the pointing hands. Green grass fills most of the background, leading up toa row of bushes in the distance, with trees and houses beyond that, under flat white sky.
