Side view of a very small, high-winged, single-engined light aircraft taxiing from right to left on grass. The plane is almost entirely white, with blue "Sky Ranger" text over a stylised image of a mountain range on the upper fuselage immediately behind the cockpit doors, the blue registration "G-CFJG" on the tail, and the head of a fire-breathing dragon that, coincidentally, lines up perfectly with the pilots legs, as seen through the bottom of the glazed doors. Green grass fills the foreground and most of the background, with trees lining the airfield perimeter in the distance, and patches of blue sky visible in gaps.

Side view of a high-winged, 4 propellor-engined military cargo plane parked on a black runway, with the red and white tips of the propellors a spinning blur indicating they are running full tilt, flaps extended from behind the wings, and the rear cargo loading ramp almost fully deployed, with a man wearing olive-green fatigues crouched by the end of the ramp. The plane is covered in an olive-green and grey camouflage scheme, with a blue and red roundel on the rear fuselage, next to the black serial number "VX232". There is a black number "232" on the nose under the cockpit, repeated on the tail, where it is sandwiched between a British flag above, and a red and blue fin flash below. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass leading up to a tall grey hangar on the left, and a lower blue hangar on the left, with a couple of grey fighter jets in front of the latter. Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a 4-engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left at a busy airport. The plane is mostly white, with blue-green "BWIA West Indies" titles on the upper forward fuselage, over the wings, and black "Airbus A340" text on the lower forward fuselage, just aft of the forward cabin door. The black registration "9Y-JIL" is on the upper rear fuselage, with the web address "www.bwee.com" on the lower rear. The green-blue tail has a stylised, white steel drum filling most of the space. The engine pods, mounted under the wings, are da deep purple, while the up-turned wing-tips being a similar colour to the tail, possibly a bit greener. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with 5 jet airliners, some white and blue, others white and orange, parked on apron in the background, stuck amongst some tail lighting poles, with trees in the distance under flat grey sky.
