Side view of a single-engined bi-plane taxiing across a grass field from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with blue, purple, red, orange, and yellow stripes on the body, resembling the body of an eagle, with the wings covered with similar coloured stripes resembling eagle wings. 2 people can be seen sitting in the tandem-seated cockpit, under a large bubble canopy. Short green grass fills the foreground, with longer green grass in the background, leading up to trees in the distance.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered, and flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with a pale blue belly. There are light and dark blue, billboard-style, "FlyBe" titles on the forward fuselage, over a series of 2 yellow, 2 red, and 2 purple dots, a logo repeated on the sides of the white engine pods under the wings. Larger, diagonal "FlyBe" titles fill the white tail and rear fuselage. The black registration "G-FBJI" is on the upper rear fuselage. Blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Rear side view of a white, large twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. There is a thick, very pale blue stripe running along the body, overlaid with green "Cathay Pacific" on the forward fuselage. There is a thick green band around the tail, with a thick, white brush stroke resembling a flying bird in the middle, a design repeated in a smaller form under the cockpit. An array of blue and white or yellow and white planes are lined up, facing in various directions in the background. Rows of trees stretch across the rear of the frame, marking the edge of the airfield, under grey skies.

A rather weather-beaten and rusty lump of metal that has been left on grass, ostensibly to rot. Vaguely resembling a light aircraft designed by someone who had only heard a description of an aeroplane, there is a place in the nose for an piston engine, with a cockpit just after that, and what appears to be a single vestigial jet engine on the top rear of the fuselage. The whole thing is covered in rust except where it has been burned, mostly around the nose and the wings. It is surrounded by grass, with a red plastic barrier lying on the ground beside it, and a green metal fence off to one side of the background, with bushes beyond that. Blue sky with fluffs of white cloud fill 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.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner lining up on a grey runway as it prepares for take-off. The plane is largely white, with large, thin, purple "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the upper forward fuselage, mostly between the windows of the upper and lower decks. There is an image of a flying woman, wearing a red leotard, and wearing a UK flag as a cape, under the cockpit windows at the front of the upper deck. The partial registration "-VAST" can be seen on the lower rear fuselage, the last two letters "ST" also appearing on the open nose-wheel doors. The tail and rear fuselage are a shiny, scarlet redd, with seemingly hand-drawn, white "Virgin" titles across the middle, and the small white letters "ST" right at the top. The engine pods are a similar shiny scarlet, as are the up-turned wing-tips. Green grass fills the foreground, with a couple of bushes in the bottom left corner, and black metal mesh fence supported by black metal poles runs across the bottom of the frame. More grass is visible in the background, under the body of this plane, with a terminal building on the right, with several planes parked against it. Pale blue sky with wisps of white cloud fill the top of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving from left to righ along a runway. The plane is mostly white, with a red and yellow stripe running along the body, spilling over the front of the wings, and running up and down to fill the rear fuselage, with a second yel;low stripe on the upper rear. The tail is red, with yellow swirls in the middle. There are red "Hainan Airlines" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just aft of the forward mid-cabin door, with the same titles in a Chinese script further forward, partially obscured by the wing. There is black text "Boeing 787-8" under the rear-most cabin windows, above larger, yellow "DreamLiner" text. The black registration "B-2731" si on the upper rear fuselage, with the number "2731" repeated on the sides of the open nose-wheel doors. White engine pods, with scalloped rear edges, are suspended under the wings. Green grass fills the foreground, with trees in the background, those on the left blurred by the jellyfied hot air coming from the rear of the engines. Blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Low view of a twin-engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with barely visible, dark blue "Lufthansa" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The tail and rear fuselage are dark blue, with the outline of a silver circle containing a silver stylised flying bird on the tail. The registration "D-AIKP" is on the lower rear fuselage in black, next to a small German flag, with the letters "KP" repeated on the open section of the nose wheel doors. Bright blue sky fills the rest of the frame, with bright sunlight coming from the right.
