Side view of a very small, high-winged, single-engined light aircraft taxiing from right to left on grass. The plane is almost entirely white, with blue "Sky Ranger" text over a stylised image of a mountain range on the upper fuselage immediately behind the cockpit doors, the blue registration "G-CFJG" on the tail, and the head of a fire-breathing dragon that, coincidentally, lines up perfectly with the pilots legs, as seen through the bottom of the glazed doors. Green grass fills the foreground and most of the background, with trees lining the airfield perimeter in the distance, and patches of blue sky visible in gaps.

Side view of a white, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it has just landed. The plane has purple "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the upper mid-fuselage, with an image of a woman wearing a red mini-dress flying through the air and trailing a Union Flag positioned under the cockpit windows on the forward fuselage. The tail is a bright metallic red, with seemingly hand-drawn "Virgin" titles. The engine pods slung under the wings are the same metallic red. The squared-off up-turned wingtips have a waving modified Union Flag. Green grass fills the foreground, with trees dominating the background, under grey-blue skies.

Front side view of a glossy black helicopter parked facing to the right on grass, with the motor slowly spinning and the pilots door open. The grey registration "N520EA" is on the side of the engine pods on top of the fuselage, and grey text "MD520N" is on the top of the twin tails at the end of the long, fat tail boom. Notably, there is no vertical rotor at the end of the tail boom. There are 2 people sitting in the heavily glazed cockpit, the person sitting in the right-hand seat wearing a white shirt, and using their hands to demonstrate something to the person in the left hand seat, who is wearing a blue shirt. Green grass fills the foreground, with people sitting or standing behind a green metal mesh fence in the background, and a curved, green corrugated metal hangar behind them on the left, and a large brown brick building on the right. Pretty much everyone in the photo is wearing sunglasses, so it is probably a sunny day.

Side view of a long, thin, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane is in a pale cream colour, with a gold and red pinstripe running along the body, under the passenger cabin windows. There are large, gold, "Etihad" titles on the upper centre fuselage, with a smaller version in an Arabic script on the upper forward fuselage. There is more Arabic text, in gold, on the lower forward fuselage. There is a large sticker with black and gold text on the upper rear fuselage, with a large black and gold "F1", then smaller text "2016 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix". Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a mobile set of airstairs with a brown perspex awning over the top seeming to drive towards this plane, and a white van driving from right to left by an airbridge on the left of the frame that seems to hang out of nowhere. Low, grey cargo sheds stretch across the background, with several planes parked nose-in towards them. Taller office buildings and hotels nestled in trees are in the distance, under hazy grey sky.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with diagonal light and blue bands around the plane's nose, with large black "China Airlines" titles on the upper forward fuselage, next to larger blue "Cargo" text. The black registration "B-18721" is under the upper deck windows, as well as on the upper rear fuselage. The tail is white at the top and a pale purple at the bottom, with a pink and red flower filling most of the rest. The roof of a terminal building fills the foreground, with large air conditioning ducts in the middle, with large grey metal structures on either side of the screen. A large grey hangar fills most of the background, with a white and blue twin engined jet airliner parked in front. Hazy grey skies fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft parked on grass facing to the left. The plane is mostly white, with a large bubble canopy over the canopy, and a purple stripe running along the body, outlined in dark blue. A similar stripe adorns the top of the tail. Green grass fills the foreground, as well as most of the background, with trees in the distance. A grey and white light aircraft is parked on the left of the frame. Bright but hazy skies fill the top of the frame.

Front view of a blue, 2 seat gyrocopter parked facing the camera. The aircraft has no wings, but instead a rotor like a helicopter, but also has a pusher propellor at the rear. The fuselage is dark blue on the top surfaces, with a creamy white belly. It is parked on a small concrete slab surrounded by grass, with a brown wooden fence separating the airfield from parked cars, with tall trees behind, under pale grey skies.

Side view of a single engined light aircraft parked on tarmac facing to the right. The plane is mostly white, with a black belly, and a thick yellow stripe running along the body, over-laid with the black registration "G-BKAE" on the rear fuselage, the last letter partially obscured by the slightly up-turned wing-tip. White spats cover the fixed main landing gear, under the wings. A man with short dark hair and beard, wearing a blue top, can be seen in the cockpit, possibly running an engine test, as the propellor on the nose looks to be slightly blurred. Black tarmac apron fills the foreground, with a green hangar on the right of the frame in the background, with cars parked behind the plane on the left, with brown brick buildings beyond that. Flat white sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a long, thin, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left as it turns on to a grey runway. The plane is mostly white, with grey "Scandinavian" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with additional "Airlines" titles on the lower forward fuselage. Smaller "Scandinavian" titles are on the sides of the white engine pods, mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, just in front of and below the tail. The blue registration "EC-MLC" is on the lower rear fuselage, just aft of a small Spanish flag, which itself is just aft of a stylised golden crown. On the upper rear fuselage, there is a 9*3 grid of coloured dots, representing the flags of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, the 3 countries for whom SAS is the nominal flag carrier. Slightly yellowing grass fills the foreground, along the side of the runway, while grey hangars are visible over the top of the plane in the background, under blue skies.
