Slightly elevated side view of a high-winged, single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on small concrete pads surrounded by grass. The plane is largely white, with a pair of blue stripes running along the body, overlaid by the blue registration "G-PLAN" on the sides of the rear fuselage. A pair of orange and white traffic cones sit on the grass, one on either side, attached by long cables to the top of the white support struts that run from the bottom of the fuselage to the wings. Green grass fills the foreground, with the nose of another light aircraft peeking into frame in the bottom right corner. Black asphalt apron fills the background.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, just a few metres above a black runway, with flaps extended in front of and behind the wings, the undercarriage lowered, and the nose raised, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is blue on top, with a white lower third, the white swooping up over the wing and back down again. There are red "Thomson" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and a red winky-face made up of the letters "T", "U", and "I" on the blue tail. The blue on the rear fuselage, just in front of and below the tail, swops downwards, the space filles by a dark blue patch. The white registration "G-TUID" is on the dark blue part of the upper rear fuselage, next to a small UK flag, above the rearmost cabin windows and just ahead of the rear door, with white text "Boeing 787-8" just aft of the door. There is cream text "Dream)Liner" below the rear cabin windows. Large, white engine pods hang below and in front of the wing, the scalloped edges of the rear of the fairings being rather obvious. A black taxiway stretches across the bottom of the frame, with strips of grass separating that from the black runway, and more grass visible under the pane in the background leading up to trees in the distance, under bright but hazy sky with patches of pale blue peeking through.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway. The plane is largely white, with a cream-coloured lower and rear fuselage, separated by a green and gold stripe coming from under the lower forward fuselage, then running over the wing and towards the tail-cone. There are large, green, billboard-style "PIA" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, over smaller, golden, "Pakistan International" text. Green Arabic calligraphy sits on the side of the forward fuselage, between the cockpit windows and forward passenger windows. The green registration "AP-BGY" is on the lower rear fuselage, under the rear-most cabin windows, with black text "Boeing 777-300ER" underneath, and green Arabic text just above those windows. The tail is mostly dark green, with a white star above a white crescent moon, with white waves at the base. The large engines, mounted under the wings, are the same cream colour as the rear fuselage. Green grass fills the foreground, with grey sky 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 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.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner parked facing to the left on a grey runway. The plane is mostly yellow, with a grey stripe outlined in white swooping it's way along the body and up into the lower reaches of the tail, with a black belly, also outlined in white. There are grey "ASL Airlines" titles on an orange stripe on the upper forward fuselage, and the white registration "F-GZTO" on the black part of the upper rear fuselage. The tail is mostly yellow, with a couple of grey stripes. Black engine pods hang under the wings. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance on the left, and a couple of large grey buildings on the right, under vivid blue skies.

Side view of a single engined light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low altitude, maybe 2 or 3 metres above a grass runway, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and flying straight and level, suggesting it is about to land, the fixed undercarriage not telling us anything. The plane is white, with a thin yellow and blue stripe running along the body, overlaid with the blue registration "G-LACB" on the side of the rear fuselage. There is a red star, with the side arms made from a pair of pilots wings, overlaid with an image of a light aircraft soaring into the sky, in the middle of the white tail. Grass fills the foreground and most of the background, with trees and bushes marking the airfield perimeter in the distance.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner flying from right to left at a very low altitude, with undercarriage extended, flaps deployed from the front and rear of the wings, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is mostly white, with large purple "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and an image of a flying woman wearing a red leotard and a cape made out of a British flag under the cockpit windows. The tail and rear fuselage is a vibrant red, with white, hand-written "Virgin" titles. The engine pods mounted under the wings are the same red, as are the planes up-turned wing-tips. Green grass fills the foreground, while a grey terminal building stretches across the background, with a tall grey tower with black top floors soars into the grey sky on the left.
