RyanAir

Side view of a long, thin, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane is in a pale cream colour, with a gold and red pinstripe running along the body, under the passenger cabin windows. There are large, gold, "Etihad" titles on the upper centre fuselage, with a smaller version in an Arabic script on the upper forward fuselage. There is more Arabic text, in gold, on the lower forward fuselage. There is a large sticker with black and gold text on the upper rear fuselage, with a large black and gold "F1", then smaller text "2016 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix". Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a mobile set of airstairs with a brown perspex awning over the top seeming to drive towards this plane, and a white van driving from right to left by an airbridge on the left of the frame that seems to hang out of nowhere. Low, grey cargo sheds stretch across the background, with several planes parked nose-in towards them. Taller office buildings and hotels nestled in trees are in the distance, under hazy grey sky.

Side view of a white, single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the right on grass. The plane looks very sleek, with smooth flowing lines, and a large bubble canopy over the side-by-side cockpit. The plane has a grey belly, with a thin red stripe separating that from the white, and red registration "G-CGLT" on the side of the rear fuselage. The fixed, nose-wheel undercarriage has white sponsons over the wheels. Green grass fills the foreground, with a strong shadow being cast on the ground, suggesting the sun is high in the sky. More light aircraft can be seen in the background - a red one on the left, a yellow one with a high wing in the middle, and a white and orange one on the right. Trees in the distance meet blue sky.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with a maroon stripe running along the body, covering the lower deck windows, and maroon "Qatar Airways" titles on the forward fuselage, in an Arabic script between the upper and lower deck windows, and in English below the lower deck windows. The tail is also maroon, with the white head of a horned, goat-like animal inside the outline of a white circle. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a large grey hangar in the background on the left, several pale blue fuel tanks towards the middle, and a selection of other airport buildings on the right. Trees in the distance slowly vanish into a bright but hazy sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with blue "Air France" titles on the upper forward fuselage, the black registration "F-HEPD" on the upper rear, and 3 diagonal blue stripes on the tail, getting narrower as they move rearwards, followed by a single red stripe. There is a single bright light on the nose-wheel, flaring in the camera lens. A black runway and a wide grassed area fill the foreground, with a larger, white, twin-engined jet airliner in the background. Trees beyond that meet flat grey sky.

Close-up of the up-turned wingtip, wing, and centre-fuselage of a twin engined jet airliner parked facing to the left on its gate, taken from near-enough under the wing, obviously on the apron. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue belly, and a thin yellow stripe separating the 2 colours. There are dark blue "RyanAir" titles next to a dark blue winged Irish harp on the side of the forward fuselage, the last few letters obscured by the wing. The wing itself is white, with the black registration "EI-DLI" on the underside. The winglet on the end is dark blue, with diagonal yellow "RyanAir" titles. Dramatic grey sky, with ominous fluffs of grey among bright white clouds fill the rest of the frame.

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.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps drooping down from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about top land. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue belly, and a yellow stripe running along the body below the passenger cabin windows. There are large, dark blue "RyanAir titles on the sides of the forward fuselage, and the registration "G-RUKM" on the upper rear. The tail is dark blue, with a large, yellow, winged Irish harp in the middle. The engine pods are similar to the body, white on top, blue on the bottom, and a yellow stripe through the middle. The tops of trees can be seen at the bottom of the frame, with cloudy sky with patches of pale blue filling the rest.
