Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner lining up on a grey runway as it prepares for take-off. The plane is largely white, with large, thin, purple "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the upper forward fuselage, mostly between the windows of the upper and lower decks. There is an image of a flying woman, wearing a red leotard, and wearing a UK flag as a cape, under the cockpit windows at the front of the upper deck. The partial registration "-VAST" can be seen on the lower rear fuselage, the last two letters "ST" also appearing on the open nose-wheel doors. The tail and rear fuselage are a shiny, scarlet redd, with seemingly hand-drawn, white "Virgin" titles across the middle, and the small white letters "ST" right at the top. The engine pods are a similar shiny scarlet, as are the up-turned wing-tips. Green grass fills the foreground, with a couple of bushes in the bottom left corner, and black metal mesh fence supported by black metal poles runs across the bottom of the frame. More grass is visible in the background, under the body of this plane, with a terminal building on the right, with several planes parked against it. Pale blue sky with wisps of white cloud fill the top of the frame.

Low 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 front and rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with barely visible, dark blue "Lufthansa" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The tail and rear fuselage are dark blue, with the outline of a silver circle containing a silver stylised flying bird on the tail. The registration "D-AIKP" is on the lower rear fuselage in black, next to a small German flag, with the letters "KP" repeated on the open section of the nose wheel doors. Bright blue sky fills the rest of the frame, with bright sunlight coming from the right.

Side view of a two-seat, open-cockpit auto-gyro parked facing to the right on a concrete pad surrounded by grass. The plane's body is mostly blue, with a white belly, with blue covers over the rear tricycle wheels, and a metal frame extending backwards from under the rear-mounted engine, holding the blue tai, as well as the blue horizontal stabiliser, with blue, vertical end plates on the ends of the stabiliser. The white registration "G-YROA" is on the tail. Another metal frame rises up from behind the rear cockpit, holding the main rotor. A red sleeve covers the end of the main rotor above the front of the plane, attached to the nose by a long red cord. Green grass fills the foreground and most of the background, with a couple of white vans on the grass in the distance, and trees beyond that, meeting gorgeous blue sky at the top of the frame.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right along a taxiway that is just low enough to appear to be covered in grass. The plane is mostly purple, with a diagonal white band wrapped around the tail and tail-cone, as well as a thin, red, diagonal band and a thicker, yellow, diagonal band wrapped around the rear fuselage. There are white "FlyBe" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, covering some of the passenger cabin windows towards the front, over a series of 6 large white dots. There is white text "Faster than road or rail" on the side of the engine pods under the wings, and the black registration "G-PRPF" on the tail-cone. There are 2-tone blue "FlyBe" titles arranged diagonally on the tail, over 2 yellow, 2 red, and 2 purple dots. Green grass fills the bottom of the frame, lining the side of a black runway, with another thin strip of grass between that and the taxiway our plane is on. Grass and trees stretch across the background, under blue-grey sky.

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 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.
