Runway05Left

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a yellow stripe running along the lower body, and large yellow "Buzz" titles outlined in black on the forward fuselage. These titles are repeated over a yellow stripe on the sides of the engine pods, under the wings. There is dark blue text "by RyanAir" under the cockpit windows, and the black registration "SP-RZD" just aft of a white and red Polish flag on the upper rear fuselage. The tail is bright yellow, with a large cartoon image of a bee, with a large upper-case letter "B" on it's black and yellow striped chest. Green grass fills the foreground, partially obscured by a stretched-out roll of razorwire on top. More grass in the background leads up to trees in the distance, under blue sky.

Side view of a high-winged, 4 engined jet airliner on static display at an airshow, parked facing to the left. The plane is almost entirely white, with black "Lufthansa" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the black registration "G-JAYV" on the lower rear. Below the registration is a panel with a slightly different shade of white, covering the registration it will have after delivery, next to a small German flag. The tail is a dark blue, with a yellow circle in the middle, containing a stylised blue flying bird, and the white letters "RF" in the top right corner. A large expanse of tarmac fills the foreground, with a row of cars on the left, and people walking around in front of the plane. Other planes can be seen in the background on the left of the planes, with a red tent on the right, and crowds of people walking around on both sides. Flat white sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with billboard-style "Star Alliance" titles on the side of the fuselage, running the length of the body. The engine pods on the rear fuselage are blue, with white registration "OH-BLP" next to a small Finnish flag on the side, with a black square with white text "15 years" on the upper rear fuselage just in front. The black tail has a circle of 5 white and grey arrowheads pointing in different directions. Green grass lines the sides of the taxiway in the foreground, with a grey terminal building stretching across the frame from the left, with several planes parked in front, under pale blue-grey sky.

Side view of a white and black, single engined aerobatic light aircraft parked on grass facing to the left. The plane has black top and bottom surfaces, with a thick white stripe running along the body, and gold piping in between. The registration "G-IITI" is on a thick white stripe on the black tail. There is a large, glazed canopy over the cockpit, with small white "Nigel Lamb" titles on the fuselage immediately behind the canopy. There are also glazed panels in the lower fuselage, under the wings. Black spats cover the wheels on the fixed landing gear. Green grass fills the foreground. A large, red brick hangar is on the right of the frame in the background, with smaller green buildings next to it, towards the middle of the frame. The tail of a white light aircraft and a small, camouflaged helicopter are in the background on the left. Cloudy grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey runway. The plane is primarily dark blue, with large white "Family Life" titles on the forward, with much smaller "Hotels" text below the last 2 letters. A pair of cartoon characters, an orange teddy bear and a yellow dog, are on the rear fuselage, either side of the white registration "G-FDZG". The tail is a light blue, with a red winky face that looks like the letters "T", "U", and "i" squished together. Green grass fills the foreground, with trees stretching across the background, under grey sky.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a black runway. The plane is mostly white, with golden "Emirates" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, and smaller titles in a golden Arabic script over the wings. Golden Arabic calligraphy covers the white engine pods under the wings, echoing the titles on the fuselage. Images of grey and black elephants wander across the rear fuselage. A large grassed area fills the foreground, with a grey taxiway right at the bottom of the frame. Trees line the far side of the runway, with buildings in the far distance disappearing into murky grey sky.
