Low side view of a twin engined jet airliner fying at a very low altitude from left to right, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings and undercarriage safely stowed away, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is mostly white, the rear fuselage slowly fading to yellow just aft of the wings. There are large, blue, billboard-style "aurigny" titles on the forward fuselage, as well as inverted on the belly, with smaller "Channel Islands" titles on the lower rear fuselage. The engine pods and upturned wingtips are also bright yellow. Above and behind, the sky is a gorgeous blue, with wisps of white cloud. — G-NSEY, Embraer ERJ190-200STD, Aurigny, crossing the perimeter fence after taking off from Runway 08R at London Gatwick, 12th September 2014.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving from right to left, with the thrust reversers extended on the engines, with the flaps deployed from the rear of the wings, suggesting it has just landed and is rapidly decelerating. The plane's body and engine pods are mostly silver, with dark blue "SKYTEAM" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and dark blue "KLM" titles under a stylised crown on the lower forward fuselage. The rear fuselage carries some intricate dark blue scrollwork, partially obscured by the wing. The tail is dark blue, with silver "SKYTEAM" titles forming part of a circle around some silver scrollwork. Green grass fills the foreground, with trees and bases of lighting poles visible on the skyline under the plane, the tops of the lighting poles also being visible over the top of the plane. The sky is a hazy grey. — PH-BVD, Boeing 777-306ER, KLM, in Skyteam colours, landing on Runway 23L at Manchester Airport, 15th March 2017.

Low side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying at low altitude from left to right, with nose raised, flaps retracting, and undercarriage already stowed away. The plane is mostly white, with the front 2/3rds (ish) of the fuselagebeing dominatedd by that colour, before just aft of the wings it slowly starts turning bright yellow. The forward fuselage carries large blue billboard-style "aurigny" titles, which are repeated on the belly, although the latter appear upside-down from our perspective. The vertical wingtips and engine cowlings are also bright yellow, with the flag of Guernsey (a white background with a thin red cross in the centre, overlaid with a golden circular emblem) on the engines. The lower rear fuselage carries blue "Channel Islands" title, while the tail has a large image of a Puffin (a black bird with white breast and facxe, and a large orangey-red beak) in flight. Behind, the sky is a gorgeous blue. — G-NSEY, Embraer ERJ190-200STD, Aurigny Air Services, crossing the airpoort perimeter as it powers out of Runway 08R at London Gatwick, 12th September 2014.
