Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a 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 a pale blue belly. There are light and dark blue, billboard-style, "FlyBe" titles on the forward fuselage, over a series of 2 yellow, 2 red, and 2 purple dots, a logo repeated on the sides of the white engine pods under the wings. Larger, diagonal "FlyBe" titles fill the white tail and rear fuselage. The black registration "G-FBJI" is on the upper rear fuselage. Blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a high-winged, 4 engined jet airliner moving from right to left along a black runway. The plane is almost entirely white, with small, black "Jota" and orange "Aviation" titles on the side of the upper forward fuselage, and black registration "G-JOTR" on the lower rear fuselage, and black and orange bands around the rear fuselage and the front of the tail. There are similar orange and black stripes running along the length of the white engine pods slung under the wings. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass on the far side of the runway, and a black taxiway running through, with trees in the distance, under blue sky.

Side view of a high-winged, single engined light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low altitude, less than a metre above the ground, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land on the grass runway below it. Thew plane is mostly white, with a red stripe running along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-CGFG" on the side of the rear fuselage, a red panel on top of the engine cowling in front of the cockpit, and a red stripe at the top of the tail. A bright red light is shining right on the top of the tail. Short green grass fills the foreground, with longer grass in the background, and trees in the distance, all blurred into a smear.

Side view of a small, red, single-seat bi-plane flying from right to left at a very low altitude, just a couple of metres above the ground, quite possibly in the middle of taking off. The plane is almost entirely red, with a pair of white stripes running along the body, looping in from above and under the engine cowling in the nose, overlaid with the white registration "G-HOON" on the side of the rear fuselage. A similar design, minus the registration, is on the spats covering the main landing gear at the front of the plane. The front half of the tail is the same bright red, with white text "Pitts S-1S" at the top, while the rear is covered in a red and white chequerboard pattern. The wings are red, with similar but thicker white lines running from front to back, and along the width. Green grass fill the rest of the frame, blurred into a smear, with the plane casting a strong shadow on the airfield below it, suggesting the sun is fairly low down on the left of the frame.

Front side view of a brown, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left and slightly to the left of the camera along a grey taxiway. There is large, black text "I Heart Cook s Club" on the side of the forward fuselage, the word "Heart" being replaced by a large yellow love heart symbol, covering the passenger cabin windows, with smaller text "New Generation Hotels" below. This latter text is repeated on the upper rear fuselage, with the black registration "G-TCDV" next to a small UK flag on the lower rear. A diagonal yellow band wraps around the rear fuselage, immediately followed by a diagonal grey band that wraps around the rear fuselage and tail, with another, much larger, yellow love heart filling the tail. The engine pods, hanging under the wings, are the same bright yellow. Grey concrete taxiway fills the foreground, with a white jet airliner with large blue text that partially reads "YanAIr"" on the forward fuselage, just coming into the background on the right. Blue-grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a single propellor-engined, 2-seat military trainer aircraft parked facing to the left on rather damp, black tarmac, suggesting it has just been raining.. The plane has a grey upper forward fuselage, with a red belly, the red wrapping up and over the top just after the tandem seat cockpit under a large bubble canopy. The rear fuselage is all grey, with a red, white, and pale blue roundel outlined in white, and the serial "312-UU" in black. There is a small, circular, blue and white logo at the base of the tail, which obviously is meant to resemble something, but to me only looks like coloured blobs, below a thick red stripe., and the black number "502" right at the top. The rear fuselage and tail of a darker grey military fighter jet can be seen in the background on the left, with some sort of camouflage structure behind the planes cockpit, and crowds of people on the right, some carrying umbrellas, suggesting that it may still be raining. Grim grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Low side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right almost directly overhead at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wing, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is largely white, with dark blue "Lufthansa" titles on the upper forward fuselage, smaller text "Airbus A320-200" and "Kieve" on the lower forward fuselage, immediately aft of the forward cabin door, and the letters "QW" on the open nose-wheel door. The black registration "D-AIQW" is on the lower rear fuselage, next to small German and EU flags. The rear fuselage and tail is dark blue, with the silver outline of a circle, containing a stylised silver flying bird. Pale blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

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.

Frankfurt Friday 31st July 2026.Read More

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right along a dark grey taxiway. The plane is almost entirely white, with light and dark blue "FlyVLM" titles on the lower forward fuselage, and the black registration "OO-VLM" on the sides of the rear fuselage. The engine pods mounted on the front of the wings have light and dark blue text "FlyVLMDotCom" on the sides, with the plane's main undercarriage descending from the rear of those pods. Large, blue, diagonal "VLM" titles are on the front of the tail and rear fuselage, with trailing golden wing feathers stretching behind. Green grass lines the runway in the foreground, with a grey roadway coming off at an angle, heading to the bottom right corner. More grass in the background leads up to another black runway in the distance, with trees beyond, and trees on a low hill vanishing into haze beyond that.
