Side view of a high-winged, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway, with flaps extended from behind the rear of the wings, suggesting it has just landed on the runway behind it. The plane has a white top half and a grey lower half, with black "Brussels Airlines" titles on the lower forward fuselage, the lower parts of the letters "INE" obscured by a patch of grey paint. There is the black web address "BrusselsAirlinesDotCom" on the upper rear fuselage, just above the rearmost cabin windows, with small EU and Belgian flags below the windows. A dark blue diagonal band wraps around the rear fuselage and tail, with the white registration "OO-DWC" on the rear fuselage, and a lower-case letter "B" made up of a line of red dots filling the tail. Green grass fills the foreground, with another taxiway stretching across the foreground. More grass separates the plane from a runway in the background, with yet more grass leading up to trees in the distance, under bright but hazy sky.

Rear view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner facing directly away from the camera. The plane is almost entirely white, with a red band around the rear fuselage, with a green and black diagonal stripe visible on the tail, and a red patch under the body. A large engine under each of the massive wings (and another engine further out on each side) match the planes humungous fuselage and tail, and somehow manage to make the trees in the background seem small. Shooting through a chainlink fence results in some slight vignetting in the bottom half of the frame. Cloudy grey sky with streaks of blue fill the rest of the frame.

The plane is largely blue, with a white belly that swoops up over the wings and back down again. There are large, red "TUI" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the black web address "TuiDotCom" on the side of the white engine pods under the wings. The first and last letters of the white registration "G" and "O" are on the upper rear fuselage, just ahead of a small UK flag, with the white text "Boeing 737-800" just ahead of the horizontal stabiliser. The tail is blue, with a red icon that resembles a slightly smooshed up winky-face made up of the letters "T", "U", and "I". Green and brown grass fills the foreground, with more grass on the far side of the runway. Trees stretch across the background, under blue sky with fluffs of grey and white clouds.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft parked on grass facing to the left. The plane is a silvery-grey on top and white on the bottom, with the red registration "G-BOPU" on the rear fuselage. In then foreground, black tarmac is on the right, with green grass on the left. In the background, a white and red, twin propellor-engined aircraft is parked facing to the right on the left of the frame, with the red and brown tail of another single engined plane facing to the left on the right of the frame, and a small helicopter behind that. Trees line the airport perimeter in the distance, under pale blue sky.

Side view of a single propellor-engined, 2-seat military trainer aircraft parked facing to the left on rather damp, black tarmac, suggesting it has just been raining.. The plane has a grey upper forward fuselage, with a red belly, the red wrapping up and over the top just after the tandem seat cockpit under a large bubble canopy. The rear fuselage is all grey, with a red, white, and pale blue roundel outlined in white, and the serial "312-UU" in black. There is a small, circular, blue and white logo at the base of the tail, which obviously is meant to resemble something, but to me only looks like coloured blobs, below a thick red stripe., and the black number "502" right at the top. The rear fuselage and tail of a darker grey military fighter jet can be seen in the background on the left, with some sort of camouflage structure behind the planes cockpit, and crowds of people on the right, some carrying umbrellas, suggesting that it may still be raining. Grim grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a very large, 4 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 almost entirely white, with gold titles in an Arabic script on the side of the upper forward fuselage, obscured by the large wing, with gold Arabic calligraphy on the up-turned wingtips and the sides of the engine pods under the wings. The black registration "A6-EDQ" is on the side of the lower rear fuselage, with the last 2 letters repeated on the open nose-wheel doors. A modified, waving version of the flag of the United Arab Emirates fills the white tail, with a diagonal green, white, and black stripe, with a red diagonal band wrapping around the leading edge of the tail and the side of the rear fuselage. Flat grey sky fills the rest of the frame.
