Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving from left to right at high speed, with flaps extended from the rear of the wing and the nose-wheel raised sharply, suggesting it is in the middle of taking off. The plane is almost entirely white, with plain red tail and engine pods, mounted under the wings. There are small, blue, "Estonian Air" stickers un the first 2 passenger cabin windows, while the black registration "ES-AEB" is over the last 2. The up-turned wingtips are also bright red. Green grass lines taxiways in the foreground, while a selection of grey hangars line the background, under grey sky.

Side front view of a high-winged, single engined light aircraft parked facing to the left in a field of grass. The plane is mostly white, with a blue and red swirly stripe running along the body and up into the tail, overlaid with the blue registration "G-BNTP" on the side of the rear fuselage. An orange traffic cone, filled with weights, is attached to the underside of each wing, weighing it down in case of high winds. Another plane can be seen in the background on the left, under this planes wing, with more grass, and trees in the distance visible under the wing on the right. Flat white sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner flying from right to left at a very low altitude, with undercarriage extended, flaps deployed from the front and rear of the wings, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is mostly white, with large purple "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and an image of a flying woman wearing a red leotard and a cape made out of a British flag under the cockpit windows. The tail and rear fuselage is a vibrant red, with white, hand-written "Virgin" titles. The engine pods mounted under the wings are the same red, as are the planes up-turned wing-tips. Green grass fills the foreground, while a grey terminal building stretches across the background, with a tall grey tower with black top floors soars into the grey sky on the left.

Side view of a 3 engined jet airliner flying from right to left at a low altitude, with undercarriage already tucked away, flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and the nose raised significantly, suggesting that it has just taken off. The plane is mostly white, with a grey belly, and dark blue "Lufthansa Cargo" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the black registration "D-ALCD" next to a small German flag on the lower rear. The tail and centre engine pod are dark blue, with a yellow circle containing a stylised blue flying bird in the middle. The engine pods mounted under the wings are grey, as are the up-turned wing-tips. Pale blue sky with grey fluffs of cloud fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a metallic blue small helicopter parked on a concrete landing pad, facing to the right. There is a light blue lightning flash on the lower fuselage and door, with silver "R22"text on the upper rear fuselage, above smaller "Beta II" text. The silver registration "G-HIZZ" is at the front of the tail boom, just as it comes out of the fuselage, above the partially exposed engine. The black and white striped tail rotor is on the left side at the rear of the tail boom. Green grass fills the foreground, with several planes parked on more grass in the background, leading up to trees and bushes marking the airfield perimeter in the distance, under blue sky with smatterings of thin white cloud.

Side view of a high-winged, twin engined jet airliner lined up waiting for take off on a grey runway. The plane is largely white with a dark blue belly, and dark blue "British Airways" titles on the lower forward fuselage. A twisted, red and blue ribbon is on the upper forward fuselage, immediately aft of the cockpit windows, and the black registration "OY-NCL" is on the upper rear fuselage. The tail is white, with rippling red stripes either side of a rippling dark blue triangle in the middle. The horizontal stabiliser, mounted at the top of the tail, is casting it's own shadow on the top and front of the tail, which suggests that the sun is up in the top left corner somewhere. Green grass fills the foreground, lining both sides of the runway. Trees in the distance meet grey clouds and blue sky.

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 moving at speed from right to left along a black runway. The plane is largely white, with purple "EuroWings" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and smaller, black registration "D-AEWR" just aft of small EU and German flags on the upper rear. Pale blue and purple swirls adorn the tail and tail cone, some connected by grey swirls. Bright sunlight reflects strongly off one of the open landing gear doors under the wing, suggesting that the sun is more or less behind the camera. Green grass fills the foreground, lining the side of the runway, with more grass visible under the plane in the background, with trees in the distance under pale blue sky with purple fluffs of cloud.

Side view of a white, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it has just landed. The plane has purple "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the upper mid-fuselage, with an image of a woman wearing a red mini-dress flying through the air and trailing a Union Flag positioned under the cockpit windows on the forward fuselage. The tail is a bright metallic red, with seemingly hand-drawn "Virgin" titles. The engine pods slung under the wings are the same metallic red. The squared-off up-turned wingtips have a waving modified Union Flag. Green grass fills the foreground, with trees dominating the background, under grey-blue skies.
