R44

Side view of a blue helicopter parked on a concrete landing pad, surrounded by green grass. There is a gold stripe running along the body, with large gold text "R44" above smaller gold text "Raven II" just aft of the cockpit doors. The gold Registration "G-OGJC" sis on the long, blue tail-boom, which has a 2-bladed, black and white stripes rotor at the end, above a red and white striped pole attached to the underside of the boom. A tall blue fairing is wrapped around the main rotor mast. Green grass in the background stretches off into the distance, with trees on the horizon meeting blue sky with fluffs of white cloud.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner facing to the left but being pushed back to the right by an out-of-frame tug attached to the nose-wheel by a long white pole. The plane is largely white, with a dark blue belly, and blue "Sun Express" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The black registration "TC-SNT" is on the lower rear fuselage, below the rearmost passenger cabin windows, with a small Turkish flag just above those windows. A circular, blue sunburst design with an orange band across the middle is on the plane's nose, below the cockpit windows, replicated in a larger form on the tail and rear fuselage. The engine pods under the wings are white on top and blue on the bottom, with an orange stripe across the middle, and white text "SunExpress.com" along the bottom half, while the up-and-down-turned wing-tips are blue, with orange tips on the upper section. Grey concretes apron fills the foreground, with white and yellow markings for aircraft to follow, as well as roadways marked for ground vehicles. More apron fills the background, with a strip of grass separating 2 different areas, with several planes parked against a grey building in the distance.

Side view of a white, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it has just landed. The plane has purple "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the upper mid-fuselage, with an image of a woman wearing a red mini-dress flying through the air and trailing a Union Flag positioned under the cockpit windows on the forward fuselage. The tail is a bright metallic red, with seemingly hand-drawn "Virgin" titles. The engine pods slung under the wings are the same metallic red. The squared-off up-turned wingtips have a waving modified Union Flag. Green grass fills the foreground, with trees dominating the background, under grey-blue skies.

Side view of a light helicopter hovering just a couple of metres above a grass runway. The chopper is a deep blue, with a gold stripe running along the body, and the gold registration "G-OJGC" on the long tail boom. Green grass fills the foreground and large parts of the background, with bushes and tyres in the distance marking the airfield perimeter, under grey-blue sky.
