Side view of a high-winged, single-engined light aircraft taxiing from left to right along a grass taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a black and blue stripe swooping along the body and lower part of the tail, and the black registration "G-ENEA" on the side of the rear fuselage. White spats cover the main wheels under the wings. Green grass fills the foreground, with more in the background leading up to trees in the distance, under blue sky.

Side view of a very large, white, 4 engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage extended and flaps deployed from behind the wing, suggesting it is just about to land. There are large golden "Emirates" titles on the forward fuselage, repeated in a smaller Arabic script over the wings. The web address "www.emirates.com" is on the lower forward fuselage, also in gold. There is a golden logo on each engine pod, made up of the Arabic letters that make up the word that trans-literates as "Etihad", but re-arranged in a decorative pattern. The tail has the flag of the United Arab Emirates (red vertical bar on the right, with green, white, and black horizontal stripes on the left), looking as if it is waving in the breeze. In the foreground, a mass of parked cars, mostly black but with a few scattered reds, and a small blue van in the middle, are packed densely along the bottom of the frame, with a strip of green grass leading up to more parked cars on the far side of the runway, behind a black chainlink fence. Trees beyond that lead up to hills shrouded in mist in the distance, under grey skies.

Side view of a high-winged, 4 engined jet airliner flying from right to left at a low altitude, with undercarriage extended, flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is white on top of the body and grey on the lower half, with dark blue, almost purple "Brussels Airlines" titles just aft of a stylised red lower-case letter "b" made upe of red dots. The tail and rear fuselage is the same dark blue, with a larger version of the red dot "b" logo on the tail, above the white registration "OO-DWB" on the fuselage. The web address "BrusselsAirlinesDotCom" is on the upper rear fuselage, above the rear cabin windows, with small Belgian and EU flags below those windows. Grey engine pods hang down below the wings. A tall grey tower with a black top reaches into the sky in the middle of the background, with grey-blue sky filling the rest of the frame.
