C172

Side front view of a high-winged, single engined light aircraft parked facing to the left in a field of grass. The plane is mostly white, with a blue and red swirly stripe running along the body and up into the tail, overlaid with the blue registration "G-BNTP" on the side of the rear fuselage. An orange traffic cone, filled with weights, is attached to the underside of each wing, weighing it down in case of high winds. Another plane can be seen in the background on the left, under this planes wing, with more grass, and trees in the distance visible under the wing on the right. Flat white sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a high-winged, single propellor-engined light aircraft flying straight and level from right to left at a very low altitude, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is white, with a blue and black stripe running along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-BPVA" on the sides of the rear fuselage, with similar stripes running over the spats on the undercarriage. Green grass fills the bottom of the frame, except for a narrow strip of yellow grass that runs across the frame. Trees fill the background.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left, turning on to a grey runway. The plane is in a silver finish, with dark blue "SkyTeam" titles on the upper forward fuselage, above the forward cabin windows, and smaller "Air France" titles under those windows. The rear fuselage has some dark blue scrollwork, next to the black registration "F-GKXS" on the upper rear fuselage. The dark blue tail has a thin crescent forming the bottom of a white circle, the white word "SkyTeam" forming the top, and has some more white scrollwork in the middle. Green grass lines the sides of the taxiway in the foreground, with blue-grey sky filling the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with billboard-style "Star Alliance" titles on the side of the fuselage, running the length of the body. The engine pods on the rear fuselage are blue, with white registration "OH-BLP" next to a small Finnish flag on the side, with a black square with white text "15 years" on the upper rear fuselage just in front. The black tail has a circle of 5 white and grey arrowheads pointing in different directions. Green grass lines the sides of the taxiway in the foreground, with a grey terminal building stretching across the frame from the left, with several planes parked in front, under pale blue-grey sky.

Side view of a high-winged, single-engined light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low altitude, just a couple of metres above the white numbers on a grass runway. The plane is mostly white, with a light and dark blue stripe running along the body and up into the lower parts of the tail, overlaid with dark blue registration "G-BPVA" on the rear fuselage. The plane has flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and is flying more or less straight and level, suggesting it is just about to land. Green grass fills the foreground, with trees filling the background.
