Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving from right to left along a black runway, with flaps extended from under the rear of the wings, spoilers deployed on top of the rear of the wing, and the rear section of the engine pods under the wings slid back, revealing the thrust reversers, suggesting this is decelerating hard after landing. The plane is mostly with, with a blue swirl around the lower forward fuselage, and another around the upper mid- and rear fuselage, with black "Tailwind" titles on the upper forward fuselage, next to a highly stylised image of a dark and light blue flying bird with wings stretched upwards. This bird logo is repeated in a larger form on the white tail, and in a smaller form on the sides of the white engine pods under the wings. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance, with cloudy grey sky with hints of blue filling the rest of the frame.

Side view of a long, thin, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane is in a pale cream colour, with a gold and red pinstripe running along the body, under the passenger cabin windows. There are large, gold, "Etihad" titles on the upper centre fuselage, with a smaller version in an Arabic script on the upper forward fuselage. There is more Arabic text, in gold, on the lower forward fuselage. There is a large sticker with black and gold text on the upper rear fuselage, with a large black and gold "F1", then smaller text "2016 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix". Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a mobile set of airstairs with a brown perspex awning over the top seeming to drive towards this plane, and a white van driving from right to left by an airbridge on the left of the frame that seems to hang out of nowhere. Low, grey cargo sheds stretch across the background, with several planes parked nose-in towards them. Taller office buildings and hotels nestled in trees are in the distance, under hazy grey sky.

Side view of a single engined light aircraft parked facing to the right on grass. The plane is largely white, with a black anti-dazzle panel on top of the engines directly in front of the large bubble cockpit canopy, and a red belly. The horizontal stabiliser and the outer panels of the wings are also painted red. There is a blue, white, and red roundel on the rear fuselage, and a blue, white, and red fin flash under the red number "06" on the tail. The number "06" is repeated in white on the front of the engine cowling. The black serial "XX522" is visible under the horizontal stabiliser on the rear fuselage. Green grass fills the foreground and a good part of the background, leading up to trees and bushes lining the airfield perimeter. A man with short dark hair and wearing a yellow hi-viz vest is standing on the far side of the planes rear fuselage, accompanied by a pair of children, with the head of one wearing a hat visible over the top of the plane, and 2 pairs of legs wearing short trousers visible below. Blue sky over rolling hills in the far distance completes the image.
