Side view of a single engined light aircraft moving at speed from right to left along a grass runway, with the nose wheel lifted slightly off the ground, and a small amount of flaps hanging from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is taking off. The plane is white, with a thin black and thicker red stripe running along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-CIFC" on the rear fuselage. The spats on the undercarriage are white, with a similar black and red stripe. Green grass fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a rather sleek looking, single engined light aircraft parked taxiing from left to right along a grey tarmac taxiway. The plane is almost entirely red, with the black letters "OXI" (part of the registration) visible on the side of the rear fuselage. A large bubble canopy covers the 2 seat cockpit. Long, spindly legs coming from under the wing carry the main wheels, which have streamlined red spats over the wheels. Green grass fills most of the background, with trees stretching along the top of the frame in the distance.

Side view of a small, red, 2-seat autogyro taxiing from right to left along a grey tarmac taxiway. The aircraft is red, with a tandem 2 seat cockpit behind a large perspex panel, with a rotor mast with a 2-bladed rotor on top coming out of the top of the fuselage behind the rear seat. A triple tail unit is on a long boom coming from the lower rear of the fuselage, with the silver registration "G-CFZX" on the sides of the larger, central tail. Both of the seats are filled, with 2 people wearing red jumpsuits and white helmets, with black straps holding them in place. A silver car with black trim is in the background immediately behind this aircraft, with a white box on wheels on the left, a yellow square with the black letter "C" in the top left corner. Trees behind a black fence fill the rest of the frame.

Low side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined 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 plane is almost entirely purple, with an orange and purple band around the rear fuselage, and a white tail-cone and tail. There are white., billboard-style "FlyBe" titles above 6 white dots on the side of the forward fuselage, with similar diagonal titles in light and dark blue on the tail, over 2 orange, 2 red, and 2 purple dots. The white titles are also inverted on the underside of the fuselage. The engine pods mounted out on the wings are also purple, with the main undercarriage hanging down on long, spindly legs from the rear. The black registration "G-JECZ" is on the side of the tail-cone right at the rear. Flat grey clouds fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left onto a grey runway. The plane is largely white, with a red rear fuselage and tail. There are grey "Helvetic" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, with smaller grey text "Airways" below. The black registration "HB-JVO" is on the upper rear fuselage, just forward of the rear cabin door. There is a large white cross on the red tail, as well as on the red up-turned wingtips. Green grass lines the runway in the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance, under grey-blue sky.
