McDonnellDouglas (Page 4)

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a black runway. The plane is mostly white, with golden "Emirates" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, and smaller titles in a golden Arabic script over the wings. Golden Arabic calligraphy covers the white engine pods under the wings, echoing the titles on the fuselage. Images of grey and black elephants wander across the rear fuselage. A large grassed area fills the foreground, with a grey taxiway right at the bottom of the frame. Trees line the far side of the runway, with buildings in the far distance disappearing into murky grey sky.

Side view of a small, sleek, single engined light aircraft flying from right to left t a very low altitude, just a few metres above a grass runway. The plane is a bright scarlet red, with a large glazed canopy over the 2-seat cockpit, with only the rear seat filled. Long, spindly undercarriage legs extend down from the front of the wings, with large red spats over the main wheels. The spinner on the propellor is a gloss black, , as is the registration "G-COXI" on the sides of the rear fuselage. Greengrass fills the foreground at the bottom of the frame, with trees filling the background, with rolling hills and pale blue sky in the distance.

Side view of a bright red, 2 seat autogyro, parked facing to the left. The aircraft has a sleek red body, with large, fully glazed doors under a large white rotor, with a smaller white pusher propellor at the top of the rear fuselage. A low, thin red tail boom carries the red tail, a large central fin with smaller end-plates on the horizontal stabiliser. The first couple of letters of the registration is visible on the central fin in grey. There are small, grey and black "M24 Orion" titles on the top of the fuselage, just ahead of the pusher prop. Green grass fills the foreground, with several grey cars lined-up side-by-side behind a grey metal fence in the background, with trees in the distance under hazy grey skies.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left onto a grey runway. The plane is largely white, with a red rear fuselage and tail. There are grey "Helvetic" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, with smaller grey text "Airways" below. The black registration "HB-JVO" is on the upper rear fuselage, just forward of the rear cabin door. There is a large white cross on the red tail, as well as on the red up-turned wingtips. Green grass lines the runway in the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance, under grey-blue sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway surrounded by grass. The plane is mostly white, with a pale green-bluebelly, which sweeps up to fill most of the tail. There are pale, green-blue, billboard-style "FlyNas" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, with smaller titles between the cockpit and the forward door. Additional titles in an Arabic script are on the upper rear fuselage, with the black registration "CS-TFZ" below. A grey runway lined by green grass stretches across the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to a blue and white light aircraft visible under this plane on the right of the frame, and a white high-winged airliner on the left, with another pair of large jet aircraft in the distance, under layered grey-whiter clouds.

Side view of a small, white helicopter parked on a muddy patch of grass next to an orange and white traffic cone. The chopper is almost entirely white, with golden "Adern" titles on the sides of the cockpit doors, and the golden registration "G-BRBY" on the tail boom. 2 people can be seen in the cockpit, obviously having a discussion about something judging by the pointing hands. Green grass fills most of the background, leading up toa row of bushes in the distance, with trees and houses beyond that, under flat white sky.

Side view of a 4-engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left at a busy airport. The plane is mostly white, with blue-green "BWIA West Indies" titles on the upper forward fuselage, over the wings, and black "Airbus A340" text on the lower forward fuselage, just aft of the forward cabin door. The black registration "9Y-JIL" is on the upper rear fuselage, with the web address "www.bwee.com" on the lower rear. The green-blue tail has a stylised, white steel drum filling most of the space. The engine pods, mounted under the wings, are da deep purple, while the up-turned wing-tips being a similar colour to the tail, possibly a bit greener. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with 5 jet airliners, some white and blue, others white and orange, parked on apron in the background, stuck amongst some tail lighting poles, with trees in the distance under flat grey sky.
