Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left, turning on to a grey runway. The plane is in a silver finish, with dark blue "SkyTeam" titles on the upper forward fuselage, above the forward cabin windows, and smaller "Air France" titles under those windows. The rear fuselage has some dark blue scrollwork, next to the black registration "F-GKXS" on the upper rear fuselage. The dark blue tail has a thin crescent forming the bottom of a white circle, the white word "SkyTeam" forming the top, and has some more white scrollwork in the middle. Green grass lines the sides of the taxiway in the foreground, with blue-grey sky filling 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 high-winged, single-engined light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low altitude, just a couple of metres above the white numbers on a grass runway. The plane is mostly white, with a light and dark blue stripe running along the body and up into the lower parts of the tail, overlaid with dark blue registration "G-BPVA" on the rear fuselage. The plane has flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and is flying more or less straight and level, suggesting it is just about to land. Green grass fills the foreground, with trees filling the background.

Side view of a very large, white, 4 engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage extended and flaps deployed from behind the wing, suggesting it is just about to land. There are large golden "Emirates" titles on the forward fuselage, repeated in a smaller Arabic script over the wings. The web address "www.emirates.com" is on the lower forward fuselage, also in gold. There is a golden logo on each engine pod, made up of the Arabic letters that make up the word that trans-literates as "Etihad", but re-arranged in a decorative pattern. The tail has the flag of the United Arab Emirates (red vertical bar on the right, with green, white, and black horizontal stripes on the left), looking as if it is waving in the breeze. In the foreground, a mass of parked cars, mostly black but with a few scattered reds, and a small blue van in the middle, are packed densely along the bottom of the frame, with a strip of green grass leading up to more parked cars on the far side of the runway, behind a black chainlink fence. Trees beyond that lead up to hills shrouded in mist in the distance, under grey skies.
