FighterMeet

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving rapidly from left to right on a slightly damp runway. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue belly, dark blue "British Airways" titles on the forward fuselage below the forward cabin windows, below the forward and mid-cabin doors, and a twisted blue and red ribbon on the upper forward fuselage, just aft of the cockpit. There are 3 wavy lines (red, blue, red) on the tail. The rear half of the blue engine pods mounted under the wings has slid back, exposing the engine thrust reversers. The spray from the nose and main wheel suggests this plane is moving pretty fast, while the flaps extended from the rear of the wings and the open thrust reversers suggest this plane has just landed. Strips of green grass line the runway and a taxiway in the foreground, while trees are visible over the top of this plane in the background. The blue tail and blue and white fuselage of another plane can be seen in the background on the right. Dreary grey skies fill the rest of the frame.

Rather tilted side view of a red and white military jet trainer aircraft parked facing to the left on green grass. The plane is white on top and red on the bottom, with the top of the nose-cone painted black, in front of the cockpit. There is a painting of a bird in flight, outlined in white, on the side of the red nose-cone, and red text "The Macaws" on the side of the white tail, under a red, white, and blue fin flash. There are wing-tip fuel tanks, painted red, with a slightly swirly white stripe running along the middle. A green tarpaulin cover is strapped down over the cockpit. Green grass fills the foreground, and much of the background on the left, with a grey prefabricated building on the right, a white sign with red text "Security Point" towards the middle of the frame. Pale blue sky with thin grey haze towards the horizon fills the rest of the frame.

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 twin engined jet airliner parked facing away from the camera. The plane is largely white, with a deep purple belly and engine pods under the wings, and yellow rear fuselage and tail. There are blue "Olympus" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the black registration "SX-ACP" on the lower rear. The tail has a blue image of the head of a person with long, flowing hair, wearing a floral crown, and with chains of flowers behind them. Strong sunlight from the upper right corner casts a shadow under the plane towards the bottom left. The plane is parked facing a strip of grass with a mesh metal barrier on the other side, with a large concrete area beyond filling the rest of the frame.

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.
