Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway. The plane is largely white, with light and dark blue "Air Transat" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with the black registration "C-GOIM" on the upper rear. The tail and rear fuselage are light blue, with a diagonal silver band separating the blue and the white. The outline of a large silver star adorns the tail. Large grassed areas and grey taxiways fill the foreground, with rolling grey hills in the background, under blue-grey sky.

Side view of a very blue, twin engined jet airliner acelerating along a black runway during it's take-off roll. The plane is in a metallic blue livery, with large white "ITA" titles on the upper forward fuselage, over small white text "Airways", amd the white registration "EI-DTM" on the lower rear fuselage. The tail is the same blue, with green, white, and red bands representing the Italian flag running down the trailing edge and round the tail-cone. Green grass and grey taxiways fill the foreground, with trees in the distance, under grey sky.

Side view of a white military transport helicopter parked facing to the left on a black tarmac taxiway. The helicopter has a blue stripe running along the body and tail boom, with a zig-zag down to below the cockpit windows. Sponsons on the rear fuselage house the main landing gear. A large panel that normally covers the engine has been dropped down, exposing the inner workings. A large sign has been placed against the nose, giving some detail about the aircraft. In the background, crowds of people are visible behind waist-level metal fences, with some tents and other exhibits behind them. Dismal grey skies fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a small, sleek, single engined light aircraft flying from right to left t a very low altitude, just a few metres above a grass runway. The plane is a bright scarlet red, with a large glazed canopy over the 2-seat cockpit, with only the rear seat filled. Long, spindly undercarriage legs extend down from the front of the wings, with large red spats over the main wheels. The spinner on the propellor is a gloss black, , as is the registration "G-COXI" on the sides of the rear fuselage. Greengrass fills the foreground at the bottom of the frame, with trees filling the background, with rolling hills and pale blue sky in the distance.
