Low side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude with the flaps extended behind the wings and nose raised quite sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is mostly dark blue with a dark grey belly, and white "Vietnam Airlines" titles on the upper forward fuselage, partially obscured by the engine. A large golden flower adorns the upper forward fuselage, the tail, and the engine pods. The registration "VN-A142" is visible in white on the upper rear fuselage, and in black under the left wing. Behind the plane, the sky is an intense blue, with wisps of cloud in the top left corner. — VN-A142, Boeing 777-2Q8ER, Vietnam Airlines,crossing the airfield perimeter shortly after taking off from Runway 08 at London Gatwick, 12th September 2014.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving from left to right, with flaps extended under the wings, spoilers raised on top of the wings, and thrust reversersdeployed on the engines as it decelerates hard after landing on a wet runway. The plane is mostly white, with a deep blue belly and engines, and deep blue "British Airways" titles on the forward fuselage, next to a stylised ribbon, red on one side and blue on the other.
