Side view of a very large, white, 4 engined jet airliner moving from right to left . The plane is mostly white, with purple "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and a scarlet red rear fuselage and tail, with white "Virgin" titles. The upturned wing-tips have part of a waving Union Flag. The engine pods slung under the wings are the same scarlet red, with the rear 1/3rd of the cowling having moved backwards to expose the thrust reversers, which along with the flaps hanging from the rear of the wings is slowing the plane after landing. Taxiways lined with strips of grass fill the foreground, with a grey terminal building with several planes parked in front of it stretching across the frame, under grey-blue skies.

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 single-engined BizProp taxiing from right to left on a black taxiway. The plane is white on top and towards the front, and black on the bottom and to the rear, separated by a brown stripe that swoops along the fuselage. The brown registration "N5347V" outlined in white and with a gold drop shadow is on the side of the lower rear fuselage. A pair of gold stripes run along the forward fuselage, one above the brown stripe, the other below, with a thin gold band wrapped around the tail-cone and tail. The pilot can be seen through the cockpit window, with black text "Piper" on the side of the upper fuselage just behind him. Green grass lines both sides of the runway at the bottom of the frame, with more grass separating taxiways and a runway in the background, and more grass leading off to trees and bushes in the distance, slowly vanishing into mist.

Front-side view of the nose and forward fuselage of a jet airliner, sitting on the ground, facing to the right, supported by a pair of semi-circular metal frames that hold the fuselage in position. The plane is mostly white, with a purple belly that swoops upwards, co-incidentally, between the two metal frames then back down again towards the rear. There are purple "Monarch" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just forward of a stylised purple and yellow crown, and the yellow web address "FlyMonarchDotCom" on the purple belly, just where it moves upwards. Green grass fills the foreground and part of the background, with gravel under the plane, and trees stretching across the background, under dramatic cloudy grey skies.
