Side view of a small, red, single-seat bi-plane flying from right to left at a very low altitude, just a couple of metres above the ground, quite possibly in the middle of taking off. The plane is almost entirely red, with a pair of white stripes running along the body, looping in from above and under the engine cowling in the nose, overlaid with the white registration "G-HOON" on the side of the rear fuselage. A similar design, minus the registration, is on the spats covering the main landing gear at the front of the plane. The front half of the tail is the same bright red, with white text "Pitts S-1S" at the top, while the rear is covered in a red and white chequerboard pattern. The wings are red, with similar but thicker white lines running from front to back, and along the width. Green grass fill the rest of the frame, blurred into a smear, with the plane casting a strong shadow on the airfield below it, suggesting the sun is fairly low down on the left of the frame.

Side view of a long, thin, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from right to left along a black taxiway lined with lush green grass. The plane is mostly white, with a thin blue and red pin-stripe running along the body, blue "Bin Air" titles on the nose under the cockpit windows, and the black registration "D-CAVA" on the side of the rear fuselage, just aft of a small German flag. The white tail has the blue letters "BA" above the horizontal stabiliser. Grass in the background leads up to a black runway that runs from one side of the frame to the other, with more grass on the far side leading up to trees in the distance, with rolling hills beyond that, under rolling, cloudy grey sky.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right along a dark grey taxiway. The plane is almost entirely white, with light and dark blue "FlyVLM" titles on the lower forward fuselage, and the black registration "OO-VLM" on the sides of the rear fuselage. The engine pods mounted on the front of the wings have light and dark blue text "FlyVLMDotCom" on the sides, with the plane's main undercarriage descending from the rear of those pods. Large, blue, diagonal "VLM" titles are on the front of the tail and rear fuselage, with trailing golden wing feathers stretching behind. Green grass lines the runway in the foreground, with a grey roadway coming off at an angle, heading to the bottom right corner. More grass in the background leads up to another black runway in the distance, with trees beyond, and trees on a low hill vanishing into haze beyond that.

There is an aerodynamic cover on the nose-wheel, with a red top half and white bottom .The tips of the wings and horizontal stabiliser are also painted red. The plane faces a wall made of blue steel support beams, filled in with brick, with some brick sections also covered in brown plaster. The white, light blue, and lilac rear fuselage and tail of another light aircraft can be seen parked facing to the right behind this plane, with the white and blue tail of another beyond that.

Rear side view of a single engined light aircraft parked facing to the right on black tarmac. The plane is largely white, with a thin blue and yellow stripe running along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-LACB" on the side of the rear fuselage. There is a red star on the white tail, made up of an upper case letter "A" with wings at the sides, overlaid with the silhouette of a small plane flying upwards, and with the text "LAC Flying School" at the bottom. Black tarmac fills the foreground, with a red brick building in the background, on the right, and trees on the left, with a tall bridge in the distance, under flat grey sky.

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 twin engined jet airliner accelerating from right to left along a black runway. The plane is largely white, with a diagonal red band wrapped around the nose and forward fuselage, and a stylised white flower with a yellow centre on the forward cabin door. There are large, billboard-style "Edelweiss" titles on the upper fuselage, with smaller, red "Switzerland" titles in an italic font just ahead of the wing box, and the black registration "HB-IHY" on the lower rear fuselage, next to a small Swiss flag. The red tail has a larger version of the white and yellow flower logo, repeated in a smaller form on the vertical wingtip fences. Green grass lines the black runway in the foreground, with taxiways and more grass in the background, with grey hangars in the distance on either side of the image, and pale blue sky with smears of grey cloud filling the rest of the frame.
