Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving from left to right at high speed, with flaps extended from the rear of the wing and the nose-wheel raised sharply, suggesting it is in the middle of taking off. The plane is almost entirely white, with plain red tail and engine pods, mounted under the wings. There are small, blue, "Estonian Air" stickers un the first 2 passenger cabin windows, while the black registration "ES-AEB" is over the last 2. The up-turned wingtips are also bright red. Green grass lines taxiways in the foreground, while a selection of grey hangars line the background, under grey sky.

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.

Rear side view of a red, 2 seat autogyro taxiing from right to left with the main rotor locked in place. It is basically a red fibreglass shell wrapped around a metal frame, with a pair of open tandem cockpits with large perspex windshields, with a motor bolted on the back powering a pusher propellor, and another metal frame sticking backwards out of the bottom carrying the red tail on an angular metal boom. An uncovered nosewheel sticks out of the bottom of the fuselage, with a pair of rear wheel on struts, partially covered with red sponsons stick out to the sides from under the engine. The silver registration is on the red tail right at the back.Several metal poles stick out from the engine, just above the rear cockpit, supporting and providing some control to the large, 2-bladed main rotor. Both cockpit seats are filled, with people wearing matching flying suits, with red arms and legs and black bodies, as well as white full-face helmets. Grey tarmac taxiway fills the foreground, with 2 wings of an old, brown brick office building in the background, close enough to possibly be hit if the main rotor was spinning, with a white, high-winged, light aircraft parked between the wings.

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 small helicopter hovering a few metres above a grassy field, facing to the left. The copter is in a metallic blue livery, with a large golden zig-zag stripe on the side of the fuselage, partially missing because the doors aren't being carried on this flight, and the golden registration "G-GHIZZ" on the long, thin tail boom. A man is sitting in the left seat in the cockpit, holding a camera as he takes a photo towards the viewer. Green grass in the background leads up to trees stretching across the frame in the distance, and a tall electricity pylon with cables that reach across the frame, under cloudy white sky.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined parked facing to the left on grass. The plane is largely white, with a black and brown stripe running along the body and engine cowlings, as well as along the top of the tail. The black registration "N889VF" is on the lower rear fuselage with a brown drop shadow. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass leading up to trees in the distance under flat grey sky, with a tall electricity pylon reaching into the sky, with wires stretching across the width of the frame.
