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 high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right along a dark grey taxiway. The plane is almost entirely white, with light and dark blue "FlyVLM" titles on the lower forward fuselage, and the black registration "OO-VLM" on the sides of the rear fuselage. The engine pods mounted on the front of the wings have light and dark blue text "FlyVLMDotCom" on the sides, with the plane's main undercarriage descending from the rear of those pods. Large, blue, diagonal "VLM" titles are on the front of the tail and rear fuselage, with trailing golden wing feathers stretching behind. Green grass lines the runway in the foreground, with a grey roadway coming off at an angle, heading to the bottom right corner. More grass in the background leads up to another black runway in the distance, with trees beyond, and trees on a low hill vanishing into haze beyond that.

Side view of a high-winged, single-engined military transport aircraft flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with flaps extended from the rear of the wing and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is covered in a light and dark green camouflage scheme, with the small serial "XP820", larger black text "Army", and a small blue and red roundel on the side of the rear fuselage. The plane's pilot can be seen through the cockpit windows, over the fixed landing gear. Green grass fills the background, with trees and bushes beyond that, mostly on the left, all blurred into a smear as the camera pans to follow the plane, with bright but hazy sky on the right.

Side view of a long, thin, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left as it turns on to a grey runway. The plane is mostly white, with grey "Scandinavian" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with additional "Airlines" titles on the lower forward fuselage. Smaller "Scandinavian" titles are on the sides of the white engine pods, mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, just in front of and below the tail. The blue registration "EC-MLC" is on the lower rear fuselage, just aft of a small Spanish flag, which itself is just aft of a stylised golden crown. On the upper rear fuselage, there is a 9*3 grid of coloured dots, representing the flags of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, the 3 countries for whom SAS is the nominal flag carrier. Slightly yellowing grass fills the foreground, along the side of the runway, while grey hangars are visible over the top of the plane in the background, under blue skies.

Side view of a single engined light aircraft parked facing to the right on grass. The plane is largely white, with a black anti-dazzle panel on top of the engines directly in front of the large bubble cockpit canopy, and a red belly. The horizontal stabiliser and the outer panels of the wings are also painted red. There is a blue, white, and red roundel on the rear fuselage, and a blue, white, and red fin flash under the red number "06" on the tail. The number "06" is repeated in white on the front of the engine cowling. The black serial "XX522" is visible under the horizontal stabiliser on the rear fuselage. Green grass fills the foreground and a good part of the background, leading up to trees and bushes lining the airfield perimeter. A man with short dark hair and wearing a yellow hi-viz vest is standing on the far side of the planes rear fuselage, accompanied by a pair of children, with the head of one wearing a hat visible over the top of the plane, and 2 pairs of legs wearing short trousers visible below. Blue sky over rolling hills in the far distance completes the image.
