Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a black taxiway. The plane is largely white, with dark blue "Air France" titles just ahead of a short, diagonal red band on the upper forward fuselage. The black registration "F-HZUR" is on the upper rear fuselage, with the last 2 letters repeated on the front of the open nose-wheel doors. There is additional black text "Airbus A220-300" on the lower rear fuselage. The white tail has a series of diagonal blue bands, thicker by the leading edge and getting thinner as they move rearwards, with a thicker red stripe at the lower rear, as well as a small circle of gold stars of the top of the tails. There is the blue outline of a white circle, containing a stylised image of a winged blue sea-horse, in the middle of the white engine pods, repeated on the side of the forward fuselage, in between the cockpit windows and the forward door. The up-turned wing-tips are entirely dark blue. A black mesh fence topped with razor-wire stretches across the bottom of the frame, with a small group of people on this side of the fence. Grass leads up to the taxiway the plane is on, with more grass and taxiways in the background, with the rear fuselage of a white, red, and black airliner on a runway facing out of the right of the frame in the distance. Rows of trees beyond that meet the cloudy grey sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner on a black runway, moving slowly from right to left, slight puffs of steam rising from the runway behind it suggesting it is accelerating for take-off. The plane is mostly white, with thin gold and red pinstripes running along the body, and large gold "Etihad" titles on the upper fuselage, over the wings, in English, with smaller titles in an Arabic script a bit further forward. Additional golden text "From Abu Dhabi To The World" just above the gold and red strip on the forward fuselage. The tail has a golden bird with wings partially extended, and a circular version of the flag of the United Arab Emirates on the chest, in the middle. There is a large text area on the upper rear fuselage advertising the Abu Dhabi Formula Grand Prix on the upper rear fuselage, with the web address "wwwDotEtihadAirwaysDotCom" in gold on the lower rear, and the black registration "A6-ETJ" under the tail. Green grass fills the foreground, with a large terminal building in the background on the right, and a grey hangar in the background on the left. Rolling blue-grey cloud fills the top of the frame, with light blue patches of clear sky in places. Gorgeous golden light washes across the frame from the lower right, especially on the plane's body.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft parked on grass facing to the left. The plane is mostly white, with blue registration "G-BJXA" on the rear fuselage. A large, blue-tinted bubble canopy covers the cockpit, over the wing root. Grass fills the foreground and most of the background, with green and brown trees in the distance, under grey sky.

Rear view of a squat and boxy, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner facing slightly to the right but mostly away from the camera. The plane has a grey upper half and dark blue lower, with a thin red pinstripe on the lower fuselage, ending in a half arrowhead at the front. There are black "British Airways Express" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The top half of the tail are dark blue, with a large grey heraldic crest in the middle. The lower half is grey, with a dark blue and red triangle at the rear. A group of people, some wearing bright yellow hi-viz jackets, are clustered around the left rear of the plane. Grey concrete apron fills most of the background, with A pair of white airbridges hanging off the side of a grey building on the left of the frame, and a larger jet airliner wearing the same livery nosing into frame from the right.
