Side view of a small, single-engined biplane light aircraft taxiing from left to right on a grass airfield. The plane is mostly red, with a pair of white stripes running along the body, overlaid with the white registration "G-HOON" on the rear fuselage. White text on the tail reads "Pitts", in a rather ornate font, with smaller "S-1S" text in a more normal typeface below. The rear, moving portion of the tail is painted in a red and white checkerboard pattern. The upper surfaces of the wings and horizontal stabiliser are covered in a red and white sunburst pattern.

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.

Close-up of the up-turned wingtip, wing, and centre-fuselage of a twin engined jet airliner parked facing to the left on its gate, taken from near-enough under the wing, obviously on the apron. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue belly, and a thin yellow stripe separating the 2 colours. There are dark blue "RyanAir" titles next to a dark blue winged Irish harp on the side of the forward fuselage, the last few letters obscured by the wing. The wing itself is white, with the black registration "EI-DLI" on the underside. The winglet on the end is dark blue, with diagonal yellow "RyanAir" titles. Dramatic grey sky, with ominous fluffs of grey among bright white clouds fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a black, single engined military jet fighter taxiing from left to right along a grey runway. The plane is basically a large black engine pod with a white belly, with twin black tail booms stretching backwards from the wing root, carrying the small twin tails. The cockpit canopy at the front of the plane is open, slid back along the top of the fuselage, with the bright red helmet of the pilot clearly visible in the gap. The tail booms has white "Royal Navy" titles, just aft of a blue, white, and red roundel. The registration "G-GONE" is on the end of the boom in white, under the tail. Green grass fills the foreground, with a large grey building dominating the frame on the right, and trees on the left in the background, under bright but hazy skies.
