Side view of a high-winged, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway, with flaps extended from behind the rear of the wings, suggesting it has just landed on the runway behind it. The plane has a white top half and a grey lower half, with black "Brussels Airlines" titles on the lower forward fuselage, the lower parts of the letters "INE" obscured by a patch of grey paint. There is the black web address "BrusselsAirlinesDotCom" on the upper rear fuselage, just above the rearmost cabin windows, with small EU and Belgian flags below the windows. A dark blue diagonal band wraps around the rear fuselage and tail, with the white registration "OO-DWC" on the rear fuselage, and a lower-case letter "B" made up of a line of red dots filling the tail. Green grass fills the foreground, with another taxiway stretching across the foreground. More grass separates the plane from a runway in the background, with yet more grass leading up to trees in the distance, under bright but hazy sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving from right to left at a high speed, with the rear half of the engines under the wings in the slid-back position, exposing the thrust reversers, suggesting it has just landed. The plane is broadly a silvery-grey, with dark blue "SkyTeam" titles on the upper forward fuselage above large, dark blue "KLM" titles under a dark blue crown on the lower forward fuselage. Elaborate dark blue scrollwork covers the rear fuselage, ahead of small Netherlands and EU flags just in front of the horizontal stabiliser. The tail is dark blue, with the grey text "SkyTeam" arranged in a semi-circle, with a crescent moon forming the other half of the circle, and some more elaborate scrollwork in the middle. Green grass fills most of the foreground, with a runway and a taxiway cutting through the middle. A grey terminal building stretches across the background, with a couple of white and orange jet airliners parked in front. Pale blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin-engined jet airliner lined up facing to the left on a grey runway. The plane is largely white, with red "Jet2 Holidays" titles on the lower forward fuselage, the word "Holidays" having a vertical orange-red gradient. There is red text "Package holidays you can trust" on the upper fuselage, centred over the wings, and the black registration "G-LSAJ" on the upper rear. A diagonal blue band is wrapped around the rear fuselage and tail, overlaid with a large, red, orange, and yellow sunburst on the lower rear of the tail and the tail-cone. The blue engine pods under the wings have a smaller version of the titles from the lower fuselage across the middle, including the gradient. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass visible under the plane in the background. Some out-of-focus planes can be seen in the distance on the right of the frame, parked against a grey terminal building. Pale blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner facing to the right but being pushed back to the left by an almost-out-of-frame low-slung red truck attached to the nose-wheel by a long red pole. The plane is largely white, with red "Jet2Holidays" titles on the lower forward fuselage, the word "Holidays" having a yellow to red vertical gradient. There is orange text "Package holidays you can trust" on the upper fuselage, over the wings, and the black registration "G-HLYF" on the side of the upper rear fuselage. A diagonal blue band wraps around the rear fuselage and tail, with a red, orange, and yellow sunburst design filling much of that blue space. The engine pods mounted under the wings are the same blue as the rear fuselage, with a smaller version of the text "Jet2Holidays" logo from the lower forward fuselage. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a black terminal building filling the background, a grey jet airliner with a red tail behind this plane on the left. Several tall lighting poles reach into the grim grey sky.

Low head-on view of a helicopter flying towards and over the camera. The aircraft is mostly white, with a blue belly and white undersides, with black text "National Grid" on the white underside. It is equipped with landing skids instead of wheels, and has a bright light shining in the nose, just above a black camera pod on a downward facing mounting. A high shutter speed means the 4-bladed main rotor appears frozen in place. Flat grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage extended, and flaps drooping from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with red "FlyPGSDotCom" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, and the black registration "TC-NCP" just aft of a small red and white Turkish flag on the upper rear fuselage, as well as small, black "Airbus A320 Neo" stickers on the side of the lower rear, just below the windows underneath the registration. Similar stickers adorn the sides of the white engine pods under the wings. The tail is a dull yellow, with diagonal red "Pegasus" text along the leading edge. The up-turned wing-tips are the same yellow, with a stylised white image of a flying horse at the bottom. Blue sky with fluffs of white cloud fill 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.
