MD87

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane is mostly white, with a red and yellow stripe swooping from under the lower forward fuselage and over the wing, with the yellow descending back under the rear fuselage, while the red takes over the rear fuselage and tail, with additional yellow swirls at the top and on the tail. There are red "Hainan Airlines" titles on the upper forward fuselage, in a Chinese script forward if the mid-cabin door, and in English aft of that door. The black registration "B-304K" is on the upper rear fuselage. Grey concrete apron and black tarmac taxiway fill the foreground, with trees stretching across the background under hazy grey sky. In the middle of the background, a green fire training rig, vaguely resembling a 3-engined Boeing 747, is sitting there looking a bit sorry for itself.

Elevated side view of a single-engined tri-plane on display facing to the right in a museum. The doped-cloth skin of the plane has a streaky, light brown colour, similar to varnished oak. As well as having 3 stacked wings at the front, there are 3 horizontal stabilisers at the rear. The black words "Bullseye" and "Avroplane" are visible on the sides of the rear fuselage. Creamy-grey floor fills moist of the foreground and part of the background, with a military jet fighter plane visible at the top of the frame.

Almost head-on view of a single-engined, high-winged light aircraft parked facing to the left of the camera on a grassy field. The plane is mostly in a golden finish on the body and wings, with silver engine cowlings and doors. The wooden propellor has white, red, and white bands on the tips. The red registration "G-RWIN" is visible on the tail. Green grass fills the foreground and most of the background, with trees in the distance visible over the tops of the wings, meeting grey sky.
