A single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left in the middle of a grass field. The plane is mostly white, with a pair of thin grey stripes starting from the engine cowling, running backwards and getting wider as it moves rearwards, under a single, thin red stripe, with a similar design on the spats over the undercarriage. The text "Piper Archer II" is on the upper rear fuselage, just behind the cockpit, followed by a block of text in an Arabic script, and a small Palestinian flag with the words "Free Palestine" across the middle in white and black text. Larger grey and red diagonal bands can be seen on the white tail. Green grass fills the foreground, with several light aircraft parked on more grass in the background, leading up to trees meeting grey sky in the distance.

Side view of a helicopter flying from right to left at a very low altitude, about 5 metres above the ground. It is white upper surfaces on the front of the body, with light blue "National Grid" titles on the side of the engine bay on top of the fuselage. The bottom is sky blue, sweeping up towards the rear of the fuselage, and filling the tail boom, with diagonal lime green and red stripes on the rear fuselage, and the white registration "G-RIDB" on the side of the tail boom. Green grass fills the bottom of the frame, with a row of bushes across the middle with a wooden gate with a red and white striped top bar in the centre. Trees fill most of the rest of the frame, with grey sky at the top.

Side front view of a high-winged, single engined light aircraft parked facing to the left in a field of grass. The plane is mostly white, with a blue and red swirly stripe running along the body and up into the tail, overlaid with the blue registration "G-BNTP" on the side of the rear fuselage. An orange traffic cone, filled with weights, is attached to the underside of each wing, weighing it down in case of high winds. Another plane can be seen in the background on the left, under this planes wing, with more grass, and trees in the distance visible under the wing on the right. Flat white sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a 3 engined jet airliner flying from right to left at a low altitude, with undercarriage already tucked away, flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and the nose raised significantly, suggesting that it has just taken off. The plane is mostly white, with a grey belly, and dark blue "Lufthansa Cargo" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the black registration "D-ALCD" next to a small German flag on the lower rear. The tail and centre engine pod are dark blue, with a yellow circle containing a stylised blue flying bird in the middle. The engine pods mounted under the wings are grey, as are the up-turned wing-tips. Pale blue sky with grey fluffs of cloud fill the rest of the frame.

Slightly elevated side view of a twin-engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane is mostly white, with billboard-style, red and green "TAP" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, with smaller "Air Portugal " titles above the windows at the front of the passenger cabin. The tail has part of those same large red and green titles, with white "Express" titles arranged vertically in the long stroke of the red letter "P". Grey concrete apron marked with lines for planes to follow fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving at speed from right to left along a black runway. The plane is largely white, with purple "EuroWings" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and smaller, black registration "D-AEWR" just aft of small EU and German flags on the upper rear. Pale blue and purple swirls adorn the tail and tail cone, some connected by grey swirls. Bright sunlight reflects strongly off one of the open landing gear doors under the wing, suggesting that the sun is more or less behind the camera. Green grass fills the foreground, lining the side of the runway, with more grass visible under the plane in the background, with trees in the distance under pale blue sky with purple fluffs of cloud.
