Front view of a twin engined jet airliner being towed from right to left, although the white tug doing the towing has turned back to the right, and the plane is slowly turning to follow. The plane is white, with a red and yellow stripe coming from under the forward fuselage, swooping over the wing and back down under the rear fuselage, widening over the wing to fill the rear fuselage and tail. There are red "Hainan Airlines" titles on the upper fuselage, in a Chinese script between the two forward cabin doors, and in English over the wing root. The black registration "B-304K" can be seen on the upper rear fuselage. An intricate yellow and gold flowery design fills the red tale. Grey squares of concrete apron fills the foreground and most of the background, with temporary buildings, white and blue mobile airstairs, and the metal support structure of a new pier under construction in the background.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft taxiing from left to right across a grass airfield. The plane is in a metallic grey finish, with red and blue stripes swirling across the body, and the blue registration "G-CDOA", with a red drop-shadow, on the side of the rear fuselage. There is blue and red "EuroStar" text on the engine cowling in the nose, and black text "MainAir Flying School" above a web address and a telephone number on the tail. A large bubble canopy covers the 2 seat cockpit, with an man wearing a black cap and black polo-shirt in the right-hand seat and a woman with curly dark hair in the left-hand seat, looking at him and laughing, both of them wearing a headset and microphone. Green grass fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner with thrust reversers open in the sides of the engine pods, moving at speed from right to left as it turns off the runway. The plane is mostly white, with a pair of thin stripes coming up from under the nose, over the wing, and along to the end of the body, with a similar stripe on the tail. The black registration "HZ-A5" is on the upper rear fuselage, and is about the only other markings. Green grass fills the foreground, with a runway passing through at the bottom of the frame. A large grey hangar with roofs at various heights dominates the rest of the frame, under pale blue sky.

Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined flying from left to right at a low altitude, it's wings banked to the left, with flaps lowered slightly behind the wings, and it's undercarriage stowed away. A bright light is shining forwards about halfway along each wing. The fuselage is mostly white, with a thin blue, red, and orange stripe running along the body from the nose, gradually getting wider as it moves rearwards, until the blue sweeps up to fill the tail. The number "227" is on the lower forward fuselage in large black print, with the much smaller registration "G-JATP" on the lower rear fuselage. Grey cloudy sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right along a black runway lined with grass on both sides. The plane is largely white, with a blue belly, and light and dark blue "FlyBe" titles on the forward fuselage, over two yellow, two red, and two purple dots. Larger light and dark blue "FlyBe" titles fill the white tail and rear fuselage, with light blue "WWWDotFlyBeDotCom" web address on the sides of the engine pods above the wings. The black registration "G-LGNO" is on the upper rear fuselage. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to another black runway in the distance, with trees beyond that, under blue-grey sky.

Rear view of a single-engined bi-plane light aircraft parked facing slightly to the right of the camera. The plane is largely white, with black, blue, purple, red, orange, and yellow stripes along the body forming a stylised image of the body of an eagle, with similarly coloured stripes on the top and bottom surfaces of the wings and horizontal stabiliser suggesting wing feathers. There is small black text "Christen Eagle" on the upper rear fuselage, just aft of the large bubble canopy, and the black registration "G-GULZ" on the tail. Three men can be seen standing on the far side of the plane, between the cockpit and engine, with one of them seeming to show the other two something. Grey asphalt apron fills the foreground, with a large black hangar in the background, it's large door open on the right revealing some of the planes stored inside.

Side view of a single engined light aircraft parked facing to the right in the middle of a grass airfield. The plane is in a metallic grey paint job, with twisted red and yellow ribbons running along the body, along with rows of silvery oblongs, and up into the tail. The silver registration "ZS-SUB" is on the side of the lower rear fuselage. Metallic grey spats with more twisted yellow and red ribbons cover the wheels on the undercarriage. The cockpit doors on either side are open, hinged upwards and forwards, giving access to the 4 seat cabin. Green grass fills the foreground, with more light aircraft parked, mostly facing to the right, in the background. Trees in the distance mark the airfield perimeter, with pylons holding powerlines marching across the frame beyond, under blue skies.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a black taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with grey, lowercase "vueling" and yellow "com" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The tail and rear fuselage start off with small grey dots towards the front, the dots gradually getting larger and merging into a solid wall of grey, with a single yellow dot up towards the top. Green grass lines the sides of a pair of black taxiways in the foreground, and more in the background separates the plane from a black runway, with trees in the distance meeting grey sky.
