Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is almost entirely white, with gold titles in an Arabic script on the side of the upper forward fuselage, obscured by the large wing, with gold Arabic calligraphy on the up-turned wingtips and the sides of the engine pods under the wings. The black registration "A6-EDQ" is on the side of the lower rear fuselage, with the last 2 letters repeated on the open nose-wheel doors. A modified, waving version of the flag of the United Arab Emirates fills the white tail, with a diagonal green, white, and black stripe, with a red diagonal band wrapping around the leading edge of the tail and the side of the rear fuselage. Flat grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane is mostly white, with light and dark blue "Air Transat" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with a small, red and white Canadian flag just below the cockpit windows, and the black registration "C-GOJC" on the upper rear fuselage. The rear fuselage and tail is light blue, with the outline of a star in black, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, and the white number "710" at the top of the tail. 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 large, single-engined bi-plane rolling along a grass runway with it's tail-wheel raised into a flying position. The plane is mostly white, with the upper forward fuselage and engine cowling painted black, and a blue, white, and red roundel outlined in yellow under the rear cockpit in the middle fuselage. There are small "Royal Navy" titles on the rear fuselage, above the serial "LS326". There is a red and blue fin flash on the tail. There are 3 people visible in the 2 open cockpits on top of the plane, all bundled up in thick leather, fur-lined flying jackets and leather flying jackets - the pilot in the front cockpit, facing forward and concentrating on flying, as he should do, and 2 crew in the rear who are waving at the crowd. Short green grass fills the foreground, with trees lining the airfield perimeter in the background, under cloudy grey skies.

Side view of a helicopter hovering a couple of metres above a dark grey taxiway, facing to the right. The helicopter is black, with a silver and orange stripe swooping across the forward fuselage and along the tail boom. The silver registration "G-DCAM" is on the side of the engine pod on top of the fuselage. The main and tail rotors are spinning, and exhaust from the rear of the engine is creating jellied air behind it. Black taxiway fills most of the foreground, with grass on the left. A heavily glazed grey terminal building fills most of the background, under bright but hazy sky.

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 view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner flying from right to left at a very low altitude, with undercarriage extended, flaps deployed from the front and rear of the wings, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is mostly white, with large purple "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and an image of a flying woman wearing a red leotard and a cape made out of a British flag under the cockpit windows. The tail and rear fuselage is a vibrant red, with white, hand-written "Virgin" titles. The engine pods mounted under the wings are the same red, as are the planes up-turned wing-tips. Green grass fills the foreground, while a grey terminal building stretches across the background, with a tall grey tower with black top floors soars into the grey sky on the left.

Side view of a high-winged, 34 propellor-engined military transport aircraft parked facing to the right on a black runway, with it's cargo ramp in the rear fuselage deployed, with a vehicle moving along the runway that has obviously just come out of the back of the plane. The plane is covered in a grey and green-brown camouflage scheme, with small "Royal Air Force" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, the large black number "218" under the cockpit windows on the nose. There is a large blue and red roundel on the side of the rear fuselage, followed by the small serial "XV218". The black number "218" is repeated on the tail, over a blue and red fin flash. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass on the far side of the runway. More grass in the background leads up to a pair of white and blue jet fighters on the left, and blue hangars on left and right, with trees beyond, under flat white sky.
