Frankfurt

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.

Side view of a small, single-engined biplane light aircraft taxiing from left to right on a grass airfield. The plane is mostly red, with a pair of white stripes running along the body, overlaid with the white registration "G-HOON" on the rear fuselage. White text on the tail reads "Pitts", in a rather ornate font, with smaller "S-1S" text in a more normal typeface below. The rear, moving portion of the tail is painted in a red and white checkerboard pattern. The upper surfaces of the wings and horizontal stabiliser are covered in a red and white sunburst pattern. The plane's pilot can be seen through the close, blue-tinted cockpit canopy, wearing a grey cloth flying helmet. Short green grass fills the foreground, with slightly longer grass filling the background.

Low side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land.. The plane is mostly white, with an orange stripe running from the top of the fuselage above the cockpit to the lower fuselage behind the wing, orange engine pods mounted under the wings, orange flap track covers under the wings, and a diagonal orange band wrapped around the rear fuselage and tail. There are diagonal white "EasyJet" titles on the tail, and the black registration "G-EZOU" on the side of the upper rear fuselage and under the outer panels of the left wing, as well as the last 2 letters of the registration "OU" on the open nose wheel doors. The orange up-turned wing-tips have the same diagonal white "EasyJet" titles as on the tail. At the bottom of the frame, a road runs from one side to the other, with a tall, grey, metal fence behind, with tall yellow metal towers with lights on top. A white car is parked in a layby on the bottom left. Blue sky with fluffs of white sky fills the rest of the frame.
