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.

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.

Side view of a white, single-engined light aircraft taxiing from right to left on a grass airfield. There is a blue and red stripe running along the body, with the blue registration "G-CGMH" on the lower rear fuselage. The outer panels on the wings are tilted slightly upwards, with the tips painted red. There are white spats covering the fixed main wheels under the wings, with a pair of thin blue stripes running along the sides. Green grass fills most of the frame, with a high-winged, single engined light aircraft parked just behind this one. Trees stretch across the frame in the distance, under grey-blue skies.

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.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a black taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a thin, diagonal band running from under the forward fuselage, just aft of the nose-wheel, to over the top of the centre-fuselage, just aft of the wings, and large, green "PIA" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, between the upper and lower passenger decks, partially covering some of the lower deck windows. There is some ornate Arabic calligraphy on the upper forward fuselage, just below and aft of the cockpit, which takes the name of the airline in Arabic and turns it into a piece of art. There is a waving green flag on the white tail, with a white star and crescent moon in the centre. Damp, black apron fills the foreground, with a multitude of airliners, mostly white with orange, blue, green, and red highlights, parked in the background, mostly facing to the right, but a couple on the right of the frame are facing left. Tall lighting poles are dotted around the planes in the background, reaching up to the sky. Trees in the distance give way to a rolling landscape, with buildings and more trees leading off to the horizon, meeting cloudy grey skies.

Side view of a small, red, single-seat bi-plane flying from right to left at a very low altitude, just a couple of metres above the ground, quite possibly in the middle of taking off. The plane is almost entirely red, with a pair of white stripes running along the body, looping in from above and under the engine cowling in the nose, overlaid with the white registration "G-HOON" on the side of the rear fuselage. A similar design, minus the registration, is on the spats covering the main landing gear at the front of the plane. The front half of the tail is the same bright red, with white text "Pitts S-1S" at the top, while the rear is covered in a red and white chequerboard pattern. The wings are red, with similar but thicker white lines running from front to back, and along the width. Green grass fill the rest of the frame, blurred into a smear, with the plane casting a strong shadow on the airfield below it, suggesting the sun is fairly low down on the left of the frame.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft parked on grass facing to the left. The plane is a silvery-grey on top and white on the bottom, with the red registration "G-BOPU" on the rear fuselage. In then foreground, black tarmac is on the right, with green grass on the left. In the background, a white and red, twin propellor-engined aircraft is parked facing to the right on the left of the frame, with the red and brown tail of another single engined plane facing to the left on the right of the frame, and a small helicopter behind that. Trees line the airport perimeter in the distance, under pale blue sky.

Side view of a blue helicopter parked on a concrete landing pad, surrounded by green grass. There is a gold stripe running along the body, with large gold text "R44" above smaller gold text "Raven II" just aft of the cockpit doors. The gold Registration "G-OGJC" sis on the long, blue tail-boom, which has a 2-bladed, black and white stripes rotor at the end, above a red and white striped pole attached to the underside of the boom. A tall blue fairing is wrapped around the main rotor mast. Green grass in the background stretches off into the distance, with trees on the horizon meeting blue sky with fluffs of white cloud.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner parked facing away from the camera. The plane is largely white, with a deep purple belly and engine pods under the wings, and yellow rear fuselage and tail. There are blue "Olympus" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the black registration "SX-ACP" on the lower rear. The tail has a blue image of the head of a person with long, flowing hair, wearing a floral crown, and with chains of flowers behind them. Strong sunlight from the upper right corner casts a shadow under the plane towards the bottom left. The plane is parked facing a strip of grass with a mesh metal barrier on the other side, with a large concrete area beyond filling the rest of the frame.
