The black registration "G-BZHA" is on the lower rear fuselage, with the letters "ZHA" repeated on the nose wheel doors in white. The tail is white, with a pair of wavy red lines either side of a wavy blue line, all separated by white., and the black letters "HA" right at the top. Grey taxiways fill the foreground, with a couple of other white airliners visible in the background under this plane. Grey-blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right along a taxiway hidden behind some grass. The plane is white, with a pale blue belly, and light and dark blue "FlyBe" titles above a series of 6 coloured dots - 2 yellow, 2 red, and 2 purple. Larger, light and dark blue titles adorn the white tail and rear fuselage, with the black registration "G-ECOC" on a fillet at the front of the tail. There is the light blue text "WWWDotFlyBeDotCom"on the sides of the engine pods, under the wings, the engine pods also have pale blue undersides. A large grassed area fills the foreground, with more grass in the background, leading up to a white and yellow jet airliner, which in on an unseen runway, but appears to be on top of our plane. Rows of trees in the distance meet blue-grey skies.

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 single-engined BizProp taxiing from right to left on a black taxiway. The plane is white on top and towards the front, and black on the bottom and to the rear, separated by a brown stripe that swoops along the fuselage. The brown registration "N5347V" outlined in white and with a gold drop shadow is on the side of the lower rear fuselage. A pair of gold stripes run along the forward fuselage, one above the brown stripe, the other below, with a thin gold band wrapped around the tail-cone and tail. The pilot can be seen through the cockpit window, with black text "Piper" on the side of the upper fuselage just behind him. Green grass lines both sides of the runway at the bottom of the frame, with more grass separating taxiways and a runway in the background, and more grass leading off to trees and bushes in the distance, slowly vanishing into mist.

Side view of a long, thin, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude with flaps extending from the rear of the wings and the undercarriage lowered, suggesting it is about to land. There are thin red and blue stripes running along the body, blue "BinAir" titles on the forward fuselage under the cockpit, and the registration "D-CAVA" on the rear fuselage, also in blue.

Front-side view of the nose and forward fuselage of a jet airliner, sitting on the ground, facing to the right, supported by a pair of semi-circular metal frames that hold the fuselage in position. The plane is mostly white, with a purple belly that swoops upwards, co-incidentally, between the two metal frames then back down again towards the rear. There are purple "Monarch" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just forward of a stylised purple and yellow crown, and the yellow web address "FlyMonarchDotCom" on the purple belly, just where it moves upwards. Green grass fills the foreground and part of the background, with gravel under the plane, and trees stretching across the background, under dramatic cloudy grey skies.

The blue, upturned wingtips have the white outlines of a white star on the outer face, and a multi-coloured variant on the inner face. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with more leading up to trees in the distance. Airport vehicles, baggage carts, and mobile airstairs litter the airfield.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings, and the undercarriage lowered, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with red "Austrian" titles on the upper forward fuselage, next to a large, stylised red flying bird. The same red bird logo appears in the white middle of the red tail, the tail colours vaguely reminiscent of the Austrian flag. The black registration "OE-LWK" is on the upper rear fuselage, under small EU and Austrian flags. The engine pods mounted under and ahead of the wings are white on top and red on the sides and bottom, with the white web address "AustrianDotCom" on the sides, while the up-turned wing-tips are the same red. Pale blue-grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving from right to left along a black runway, with flaps extended from under the rear of the wings, spoilers deployed on top of the rear of the wing, and the rear section of the engine pods under the wings slid back, revealing the thrust reversers, suggesting this is decelerating hard after landing. The plane is mostly with, with a blue swirl around the lower forward fuselage, and another around the upper mid- and rear fuselage, with black "Tailwind" titles on the upper forward fuselage, next to a highly stylised image of a dark and light blue flying bird with wings stretched upwards. This bird logo is repeated in a larger form on the white tail, and in a smaller form on the sides of the white engine pods under the wings. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance, with cloudy grey sky with hints of blue filling the rest of the frame.
