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.

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 very large, white, 4 engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage extended and flaps deployed from behind the wing, suggesting it is just about to land. There are large golden "Emirates" titles on the forward fuselage, repeated in a smaller Arabic script over the wings. The web address "www.emirates.com" is on the lower forward fuselage, also in gold. There is a golden logo on each engine pod, made up of the Arabic letters that make up the word that trans-literates as "Etihad", but re-arranged in a decorative pattern. The tail has the flag of the United Arab Emirates (red vertical bar on the right, with green, white, and black horizontal stripes on the left), looking as if it is waving in the breeze. In the foreground, a mass of parked cars, mostly black but with a few scattered reds, and a small blue van in the middle, are packed densely along the bottom of the frame, with a strip of green grass leading up to more parked cars on the far side of the runway, behind a black chainlink fence. Trees beyond that lead up to hills shrouded in mist in the distance, under grey 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 twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right at a busy airport. The plane is largely white, with mauve, billboard-style "Qatar" titles on the forward fuselage, repeated in a grey Arabic script on the upper forward fuselage, above the wing root, and the black registration "A7-BOF" on the lower rear fuselage, just below the last few cabin windows, and a small Qatari flag just above those windows. The tail is a very light grey, with darker grey stripes overlaid with the head of an animal with horns sticking out of the back of it's head. A smaller, circular version of the tail logo appears on the side of the white engine pods mounted under the wings. Grey concrete apron, marked with yellow lines for planes to follow, some of which are lit up, fills the foreground. More apron space fills the background, with a total of 13 jet airliners visible, parked facing in various directions, in an array of liveries that predominantly feature shades of white, blue, grey, and red. Trees in the distance are being swallowed up by grey mist.
