Side view of a very blue, twin engined jet airliner acelerating along a black runway during it's take-off roll. The plane is in a metallic blue livery, with large white "ITA" titles on the upper forward fuselage, over small white text "Airways", amd the white registration "EI-DTM" on the lower rear fuselage. The tail is the same blue, with green, white, and red bands representing the Italian flag running down the trailing edge and round the tail-cone. Green grass and grey taxiways fill the foreground, with trees in the distance, under grey sky.

Low front view of a 3 engined jet airliner parked facing to the right on gravel. The plane is white on top, with a grey lower half, and a thick stripe that used to be dark blue but is now faded to dark green running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows. There are red and white letters "BEA" on the upper forward fuselage, and a partial UK flag on the now-green tail. The underside of the wings is red. A long yellow pushback pole is attached to the nosewheel. White airstairs are attached to the front and rear cabin doors on the far side of the plane. Trees fill the background on the left of the frame, with a rather square and boxy green metal frame taking up most of the rest of the background, and the grey tail of another plane on the right, all under gorgeous blue sky.

A white, twin engined jet airliner flying over head from left to right at a very low altitude. It has it's undercarriage lowered, and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. There are red and orange "Jet2 Holidays" titles on the lower forward fuselage, and a red and orange sunburst on the blue tail and rear fuselage, as well as on the sides of the engine pods under the wings. Blue sky with fluffs of white cloud fill the background.

Low side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land.. The plane is mostly white, with an orange stripe running from the top of the fuselage above the cockpit to the lower fuselage behind the wing, orange engine pods mounted under the wings, orange flap track covers under the wings, and a diagonal orange band wrapped around the rear fuselage and tail. There are diagonal white "EasyJet" titles on the tail, and the black registration "G-EZOU" on the side of the upper rear fuselage and under the outer panels of the left wing, as well as the last 2 letters of the registration "OU" on the open nose wheel doors. The orange up-turned wing-tips have the same diagonal white "EasyJet" titles as on the tail. At the bottom of the frame, a road runs from one side to the other, with a tall, grey, metal fence behind, with tall yellow metal towers with lights on top. A white car is parked in a layby on the bottom left. Blue sky with fluffs of white sky fills the rest of the frame.

A black helicopter hovering several metres above the ground. There are very few markings, the silver registration "N520EA" on the engine pod on top of the fuselage, and the white text "MD520N" at the top of the twin tails at the end of the long tail boom. Mown grass flies in the air being forced down by the large rotor blades. Several white light aircraft can be seen in the background at the bottom of the frame, a background dominated by a brown brick control tower with a heavily glazed white top floor, where a man standing on a balcony is taking of photo of the helicopter. Trees stretch across the frame in the distance, under blue skies.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane is mostly white, with a blue rear fuselage and tail, and 2 tone blue "Air Transat" titles on the upper forward fuselage. Grey concrete apron fills most of the background, with various pieces of airport furniture -mobile air stairs, lighting poles, luggage carts, and more - littering the area, and another airliner in the top right corner, with trees in the distance.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving from right to left along a runway, with flaps drooping from the front and rear of the wings, suggesting it is decelerating after landing. The plane is mostly white, with large green "Alba" and red "Star" titles on the forward fuselage, and the black registration "EC-NAB" on the lower rear fuselage, next to a small Spain and EU flags. The rear fuselage is green with a curved, diagonal red bandtowards the front, while the tail is red with a large, white, stylised letter "A" in the middle, a design replicated on the up-turned wingtips. Red engine pods hang down in front of the wings. Green grass fills the foreground, with grey taxiways passing through from one side to the other. Green trees line the background, under blue-grey skies.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner parked on grey concrete apron, facing to the left. The plane is largely white, with a dark blue belly, and a yellow stripe running along the body, separating the 2 colours. There are large, blue, billboard-style "RyanAir" titles on the sides of the forward fuselage, next to a blue, stylised winged Irish harp. The black registration "EI-EPA" is on the upper rear fuselage, next to a small Irish flag. The engine pods hanging under the wings are the same colours as the body - white on top, and dark blue at the bottom, separated by a yellow stripe. Built-in airstairs are deployed below the closed forwards cabin door, while white mobile airstairs are parked by the closed rear doors. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a wide strip of grass leads up to a runway in the background, with trees beyond that. Pale blue sky with wisps of thin grey cloud fill the top half of the image.

Low side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is almost entirely purple, with an orange and purple band around the rear fuselage, and a white tail-cone and tail. There are white., billboard-style "FlyBe" titles above 6 white dots on the side of the forward fuselage, with similar diagonal titles in light and dark blue on the tail, over 2 orange, 2 red, and 2 purple dots. The white titles are also inverted on the underside of the fuselage. The engine pods mounted out on the wings are also purple, with the main undercarriage hanging down on long, spindly legs from the rear. The black registration "G-JECZ" is on the side of the tail-cone right at the rear. Flat grey clouds fill the rest of the frame.
