Side view of a twin engined jet airliner, with the engines mounted on the sides of the upper rear fuselage, taxiing from right to left along a black taxiway. The plane is largely white, with red ""LoganAIr" titles on the lower forward fuselage, and a black belly. There is black text "Scotland's Airline" on the upper rear fuselage, with the black registration "G-SAJL" on the lower rear. Red engine pods are mounted under the tail, which is covered in a red, black, and white tartan. Green grass fills the foreground, with a black mesh fence topped with rolls of razorwire right at the bottom of the frame. More grass and a runway fill the background, leading up to trees in the distance, under grey sky.

Low side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude. The plane is mostly white, with grey web address "FlygBra.SE" on the lower forward fuselage, as well as inverted under the belly, as well as large, billboard-style letters "BRA" on the side of the rear fuselage. The black registration "SE-MKI" is on the underside of the wings, outboard of the engines. The tail has multiple stripes, each a different colour, looking very bright, especially given the plain-ness of the rest of the plane. Vivid blue sky with fluffs of white cloud fill 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 undercarriage lowered, and flaps hanging down from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with large, black "Brussels" titles over smaller "Airlines" text on the upper forward fuselage, with large and small dots in shades of black, grey, and blue scattered across the body. The black registration "OO-SNI" is on the side of the rear fuselage, under small EU and Belgian flags. The tail is white, with red and grey dots scattered around. Lush green grass fills the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance, under bright but hazy sky. A couple of low buildings are visible under the plane in the background, brown brick on the left, and grey concrete blocks further back on the right.

Side view of a high-winged, single-engined light aircraft taxiing from left to right along a black taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a red and grey stripe swooping it's way along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-CIRZ" on the side of the rear fuselage. White spats cover the landing gear, with a red stripe running through the middle. The white tail has a grey and redd stripe running across the top third, with an image of a brown and white flying bird against a red circle at the top of the front, fixed section, and the black text "MainAir Flying School" and the telephone number "0161 787 5034" towards the bottom. The rear, movable part of the tail has the red outline of a circle with 3 highly stylised flying birds in the middle, and the text "Ikarus C42", over the grey and red stripe.

Low side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly light grey, with large, black, billboard-style "CargoLux" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, and a red and blue stripe running along the body before sweeping up into the tail. The black registration "LX-VCA" is on the lower rear fuselage, with the last three letters repeated on the open nose-wheel doors. Blue sky with fluffs of white cloud fill the rest of the frame, with the tops of some trees visible at the bottom.

Side view of a twin-engined jet airliner lined up facing to the left on a grey runway. The plane is largely white, with red "Jet2 Holidays" titles on the lower forward fuselage, the word "Holidays" having a vertical orange-red gradient. There is red text "Package holidays you can trust" on the upper fuselage, centred over the wings, and the black registration "G-LSAJ" on the upper rear. A diagonal blue band is wrapped around the rear fuselage and tail, overlaid with a large, red, orange, and yellow sunburst on the lower rear of the tail and the tail-cone. The blue engine pods under the wings have a smaller version of the titles from the lower fuselage across the middle, including the gradient. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass visible under the plane in the background. Some out-of-focus planes can be seen in the distance on the right of the frame, parked against a grey terminal building. Pale blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a rather sleek, single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the right on close-cropped grass. The plane is white on top with a grey lower half, separated by a thin, wavy red stripe running along the body. The red registration "G-CGLT" is on the upper rear fuselage, and there is a grey-red-grey-red strip along the top of the white tail. A white spat covers the nosewheel, while the spats over the main wheels have the same white and grey with a red stripe design as the body. Green grass fills the foreground, with a man wearing a yellow hi-viz vest and dark blue trousers standing by the far wing-tip, looking out to the rest of the airfield. A red light aircraft is in the background on the left, a high-winged yellow plane in the middle, and a white and orange plane on the left, with trees in the distance, under blue sky.

Side view of a single-engined, high-winged, light aircraft parked facing to the right on short-mown grass. The plane is mostly white, with a red and green swirly stripe running along the body, the swooping up into the top of the tail and back down again, overlaid with the blue registration "G-BNTP" on the side of the rear fuselage. White support struts come from the side of the lower forward fuselage, stretching diagonally up and out towards a point about a quarter of the way along the wing. A rope dangles from a hook where the strut meets the wing, attached to a red traffic cone resting on the ground, acting as a weight in high winds. Short green grass fills the foreground, as well as much of the background, with a pair of light aircraft visible on the left of the frame, the nearest one white and blue with a white high wing, and the other silver, with a yellow and black checkerboard pattern on the rear of the tail, over laid with a red star. Trees in the far distance meet fluffs of white cloud that fill the top of the frame, with blue patches peeking through.
