McDonnellDouglas

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane is mostly white, with a blue rear fuselage and tail, and 2 tone blue "Air Transat" titles on the upper forward fuselage. Grey concrete apron fills most of the background, with various pieces of airport furniture -mobile air stairs, lighting poles, luggage carts, and more - littering the area, and another airliner in the top right corner, with trees in the distance.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner accelerating from right to left along a black runway. The plane is mostly white, with multi-coloured "Small Planet" titles along the fuselage, successive letters in red, blue, purple, yellow, and green. The black registration "LY-SPE" is on the lower rear fuselage. The engine pods mounted under the wings are a deep blue, with white "SmallPlanet.Aero" text. The tail is dark blue, with a stylised multi-coloured globe and yellow stars. Lush green grass fills the foreground, with tall green trees in the distance behind the plane on either side, under blue sky with smears of cloud.

Side view of a high winged, single engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on grass, with large weights attached to the wings by long red straps to keep it in place. The plane is mostly white, with an orange and grey swirl reaching from near the front of the engine cowling, below and the up around the back of the cockpit, and the silver registration "G-IHXD" on the side sf the rear fuselage. Green grass fills the foreground and a large part of the background, with a couple more planes parked on the left of the frame behind this one, and trees in the distance, meeting flat grey sky.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on yellowing grass, right on the edge of a black tarmac taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a 2-tone blue stripe running along the body before sweeping up the front of the tail. The registration "G-BPJD" is on the upper rear fuselage, as well as under the left wing. Another couple of planes are parked around it, as well as a couple of wooden buildings on the right. A long bridge reaches over the horizon on the left, with blue-grey sky filling the rest of the frame.

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 twin engined jet airliner parked on grey concrete apron, facing to the left. The plane is largely white, with a dark blue belly, and a yellow stripe running along the body, separating the 2 colours. There are large, blue, billboard-style "RyanAir" titles on the sides of the forward fuselage, next to a blue, stylised winged Irish harp. The black registration "EI-EPA" is on the upper rear fuselage, next to a small Irish flag. The engine pods hanging under the wings are the same colours as the body - white on top, and dark blue at the bottom, separated by a yellow stripe. Built-in airstairs are deployed below the closed forwards cabin door, while white mobile airstairs are parked by the closed rear doors. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a wide strip of grass leads up to a runway in the background, with trees beyond that. Pale blue sky with wisps of thin grey cloud fill the top half of the image.

Side view of a military single engined jet fighter taxiing from left to right along a black runway. The plane is in an olive green camouflage, with the white registration "OY-SKA" on the side of the rear fuselage, and a white, blue, and yellow crest on the tail. The plane has a tandem 2 seat cockpit, one pilot sitting behind and above the other. A black taxiway fills the foreground, with grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance, under grey sky.
