Side view of a high-winged, single engined light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low altitude, less than a metre above the ground, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land on the grass runway below it. Thew plane is mostly white, with a red stripe running along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-CGFG" on the side of the rear fuselage, a red panel on top of the engine cowling in front of the cockpit, and a red stripe at the top of the tail. A bright red light is shining right on the top of the tail. Short green grass fills the foreground, with longer grass in the background, and trees in the distance, all blurred into a smear.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and undercarriage lowered, suggesting the plane is about to land. The plane is mostly white and the front, and a silvery grey at the rear, separated by a diagonal red band that runs from under the body forward of the wings to over the top just in front of the tail. Ther are red "Air Arabia Dot Com" titles on the forward fuselage, in English above the passenger windows and in an Arabic script below the windows. The tail is red, with a large image of a white flying bird, a logo repeated in red on the side of the engine pods under the wings. The black registration "CN-NML" is on the side of the upper rear fuselage, just above the rearmost cabin windows, , just ahead of a small Morrocan flag, with small, red text "Airbus A320" just below those windows. The dark grey shadow of the wing can be seen on the lower rear fuselage, suggesting that the sun is fairly low off to the right of the frame. Pale blue sky with occasional wisps of white cloud fill the rest of the frame.

View from almost underneath of a white, twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from behind the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is pretty much just white, with red "TUI" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and a red logo that looks like the upper-case letters "T", "U", and "I" smushed together to form a winking smiley face. There are black "Tui[dot]com" titles on the outer faces of the engine pods slung under the wings. The registration "ES-SAF" is under the outer left wing. Bright lights in the landing gear wells are shining forwards. Clouds fill the background under the plane, with blue sky above.
