Side view of a twin engined jet airliner parked facing away from the camera. The plane is largely white, with a deep purple belly and engine pods under the wings, and yellow rear fuselage and tail. There are blue "Olympus" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the black registration "SX-ACP" on the lower rear. The tail has a blue image of the head of a person with long, flowing hair, wearing a floral crown, and with chains of flowers behind them. Strong sunlight from the upper right corner casts a shadow under the plane towards the bottom left. The plane is parked facing a strip of grass with a mesh metal barrier on the other side, with a large concrete area beyond filling the rest of the frame.

Rear-side view of a high-winged, single-engined light aircraft parked in a vaulted-roofed metal hangar. The plane is largely white, with red and blue stripes running along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-CTAB" on the side of the rear fuselage. A red and white sun-burst pattern covers the top of both the wings and the horizontal stabiliser. The tail is white, with 3 blue and 3 red 5-pointed stars forming a rough triangle, the word "Citabria" in an ornate script in the middle, and the small text "North West Aerobatics right at the top. Grey brushed concrete floor fills the foreground and a lot of the background, with blue internal beams supporting metal walls and ceiling. A couple of people, one wearing a yellow hi-viz vest, are facing the far wall at the end. Blooms of green and bloom light are visible in the middle and edges of the frame, caused by shooting through slightly murky glass.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low altitude, with fixed undercarriage under the fuselage, flaps extended from the rear of the wings and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is silver on top, and a creamy white on the bottom, the two colours separated by a thin red pin-stripe. The red registration is on the side of the rear fuselage, while the text "G115" is on the upper engine cowling in the plane's nose. The registration is repeated in a larger form under the left wing. Flat white sky fills the background.

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.

View from almost underneath of a white, twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from behind the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is pretty much just white, with red "TUI" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and a red logo that looks like the upper-case letters "T", "U", and "I" smushed together to form a winking smiley face. There are black "Tui[dot]com" titles on the outer faces of the engine pods slung under the wings. The registration "ES-SAF" is under the outer left wing. Bright lights in the landing gear wells are shining forwards. Clouds fill the background under the plane, with blue sky above.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings, and the undercarriage lowered, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with red "Austrian" titles on the upper forward fuselage, next to a large, stylised red flying bird. The same red bird logo appears in the white middle of the red tail, the tail colours vaguely reminiscent of the Austrian flag. The black registration "OE-LWK" is on the upper rear fuselage, under small EU and Austrian flags. The engine pods mounted under and ahead of the wings are white on top and red on the sides and bottom, with the white web address "AustrianDotCom" on the sides, while the up-turned wing-tips are the same red. Pale blue-grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Front view of a single-engined bi-plane taxiing from left to right along a black asphalt taxiway, it's propellor in the nose little more than a spinning black blur. The plane is mostly yellow, with a wide black stripe outlined in red , running along the body, overlaid with the red registration "G-OKAY" on the side of the rear fuselage. A thinner black stripe with thicker red outline is on the spats over the main wheels on the front of the body. The pilot can be seen through the large bubble canopy.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a black taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with grey, lowercase "vueling" and yellow "com" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The tail and rear fuselage start off with small grey dots towards the front, the dots gradually getting larger and merging into a solid wall of grey, with a single yellow dot up towards the top. Green grass lines the sides of a pair of black taxiways in the foreground, and more in the background separates the plane from a black runway, with trees in the distance meeting grey sky.
