Slightly elevated side view of a high-winged, single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on small concrete pads surrounded by grass. The plane is largely white, with a pair of blue stripes running along the body, overlaid by the blue registration "G-PLAN" on the sides of the rear fuselage. A pair of orange and white traffic cones sit on the grass, one on either side, attached by long cables to the top of the white support struts that run from the bottom of the fuselage to the wings. Green grass fills the foreground, with the nose of another light aircraft peeking into frame in the bottom right corner. Black asphalt apron fills the background.

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.

Front view of a single-engined light aircraft parked on black asphalt, facing to the left and slightly towards the camera. Ther plane is largely white, with only the black registration "G-CIFL" visible under the left wing, with the flaps hanging down at the rear of the wing. Grey asphalt fills the foreground, with a large, black hangar looming over the background, it's doors open, revealing a white and blue light aircraft inside. A single storey brown brick building with red-framed windows is on the left of the frame, with a sliver of blue sky above it.

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.

Front side view of a brown, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left and slightly to the left of the camera along a grey taxiway. There is large, black text "I Heart Cook s Club" on the side of the forward fuselage, the word "Heart" being replaced by a large yellow love heart symbol, covering the passenger cabin windows, with smaller text "New Generation Hotels" below. This latter text is repeated on the upper rear fuselage, with the black registration "G-TCDV" next to a small UK flag on the lower rear. A diagonal yellow band wraps around the rear fuselage, immediately followed by a diagonal grey band that wraps around the rear fuselage and tail, with another, much larger, yellow love heart filling the tail. The engine pods, hanging under the wings, are the same bright yellow. Grey concrete taxiway fills the foreground, with a white jet airliner with large blue text that partially reads "YanAIr"" on the forward fuselage, just coming into the background on the right. Blue-grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right, following a yellow line marked on a grey concrete taxiway. The plane is almost entirely blue, with large, white "Zoom" titles on the sides of the forward fuselage, covering the passenger cabin windows, and smaller, white web address "WWWDotFlyZoomDotCom"on the upper mid fuselage, over the rear of the wings. The small white registration "C-GZMM" is on the upper rear fuselage, above the rearmost passenger windows, just forward of a small, red and white Canadian flag, above smaller white text "Boeing 767-300ER" under those windows. Large, white, diagonal "Zoom" titles are on the blue tail. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a variety of jet airliners, mostly white with blue or red highlights, parked in the background, with tall lighting poles reaching into the sky scattered amongst them. Brown trees run across the frame in the distance, with buildings and rolling hills beyond that at the top of the frame, under grey-blue sky.
