Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a black runway, with flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings. It is turning off the runway onto a taxiway, which suggests it has just landed. The plane is largely white, with a thick purple stripe running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows, with an orange pinstripe below, over a thin gold stripe that gets wider as it moves rearwards, curving down to run under the rear fuselage. There are purple "Singapore Airlines" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just forward of a small Singapore flag. The up-turned wingtips are mostly the same purple, with a bright orange diagonal stripe along the trailing edge. This design is repeated on the tail, with the addition of a highly stylised, golden flying bird in the middle. Green grass fills the foreground, a black sign with a pair of white chevrons pointing left in the bottom right corner, and a black metal mesh fence on black support struts in the lower right. More grass in the background leads up to trees in the distance, under blue-grey sky.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined airliner flying from right to left at a very low altitude, it's wheels just centimetres above the black runway, it's raised nose suggesting it is taking off. The plane is largely white, with a black belly, red "LoganAir" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and black text "Scotland's Airline" on the upper rear. The black registration "G-LGNE" is on the lower rear fuselage. The tail and part of the rear fuselage is covered in a red, black, and white tartan. The engine pods, mounted slightly above the wings, are mostly red, with a black bottom. Green grass lines the black runway in the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance, with pale grey-blue sky filling the rest of the frame.

Rear view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner facing directly away from the camera. The plane is almost entirely white, with a red band around the rear fuselage, with a green and black diagonal stripe visible on the tail, and a red patch under the body. A large engine under each of the massive wings (and another engine further out on each side) match the planes humungous fuselage and tail, and somehow manage to make the trees in the background seem small. Shooting through a chainlink fence results in some slight vignetting in the bottom half of the frame. Cloudy grey sky with streaks of blue fill the rest of the frame.

Low-down close-up of the nose and cockpit of a three-engined jet airliner, parked facing to the right, with the rest of the fuselage and tail visible on the left of the frame. The plane is white on the top, with a grey lower half, and a dark blue stripe, faded to green, running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows. There are white "BEA" titles with large red drop-shadows on the upper forward fuselage. The black registration "G-AWZK" is on the lower rear fuselage, just forward of the side-mounted engines. The centre-engine intake at the bottom of the front of the tail has a red baffle inside, with white text "Trident Three" on the side of the faded green intake, and a quarter of a British flag on the side of the tail. A long yellow pole is attached to the plane's nose-wheel, running out of the lower right of the frame. A set of white air-stairs is parked against the forward door on the other side of the plane. Grey gravel fills the bottom of the frame, with another, military grey aeroplane visible under this plane's nose. Trees and a large, green metal box tower over the plane on the left of the frame. Vivid blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft parked on grass facing to the left. The plane is a silvery-grey on top and white on the bottom, with the red registration "G-BOPU" on the rear fuselage. In then foreground, black tarmac is on the right, with green grass on the left. In the background, a white and red, twin propellor-engined aircraft is parked facing to the right on the left of the frame, with the red and brown tail of another single engined plane facing to the left on the right of the frame, and a small helicopter behind that. Trees line the airport perimeter in the distance, under pale blue sky.

Front view of a twin engined jet airliner being towed from right to left, although the white tug doing the towing has turned back to the right, and the plane is slowly turning to follow. The plane is white, with a red and yellow stripe coming from under the forward fuselage, swooping over the wing and back down under the rear fuselage, widening over the wing to fill the rear fuselage and tail. There are red "Hainan Airlines" titles on the upper fuselage, in a Chinese script between the two forward cabin doors, and in English over the wing root. The black registration "B-304K" can be seen on the upper rear fuselage. An intricate yellow and gold flowery design fills the red tale. Grey squares of concrete apron fills the foreground and most of the background, with temporary buildings, white and blue mobile airstairs, and the metal support structure of a new pier under construction in the background.

Side View of a single engined, single seat bi-plane light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low latitude, less than a metre above a grass runway. The plane is mostly red, with a pair of white stripes running along the body, overlaid with the white registration "G-HOON", with similar white stripes running the length of the spats on the main wheels, under the wings. The front of the tail is red, with white "Pitts S-1S"text, while the rear is covered in a red and white checkerboard pattern, which can also be seen on the outer panels of the under side of the wings. A person wearing a white flying helmet can be seen in the single seat cockpit, under a domed canopy. Grrn grass fills the rest of the frame, with the plane casting a strong shadow on the ground behind it, suggesting that the sun is coming from the top left corner.
