Side view of a twin-engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered, and flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is largely white, with large, thin, purple "Virgin Atlantic" titles stretching across the forward fuselage, with smaller, black text "Airbus A330-300" on the side of the lower forward fuselage. An image of a woman wearing a red mini-dress and trailing a waving British flag is under the cockpit windows. The black registration "G Dash VGBR" is on the side of the lower rear fuselage. A bright, scarlet band is wrapped around the tail and tail-cone, with seemingly hand-written, white, "Virgin" titles across the middle, and small, white letters "BR" right at the top. Scarlet engine pods hang under the wings. Blue sky with fluffs of white cloud fill the background.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft moving from right to left along a grass runway, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and the nose-wheel just coming off the ground, suggesting the plane is taking off. The plane is almost all white, with a red stripe outlined in black running along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-CGFG" on the side of the rear fuselage. There is a red anti-dazzle panel on top of the nose, in front of the cockpit, as well as a red stripe at the top of the tail. Short-mown green grass fills the foreground, with a strong shadow from the plane cast on the ground to the right, suggesting that the light is coming from the upper left corner. Slightly longer grass fills the background, leading up to bushes smeared into a blur in the distance.

Side view of a white and blue, twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage extended and flaps deployed from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The most of the body is white, with blue "Air Transat" titles on the forward fuselage. The rear fuselage is a dark blue, with greetings in multiple languages, such as "Welcome", "Bienvenue", and "Wilkommen", printed in multiple colours. The tail is also dark blue, with the blue outline of a star in the middle, a design repeated on the upturned wingtips. Flat white sky fills the background.

Side view of a large, twin-engined jet airliner moving at speed from left to right along a black runway. The plane is mostly a light sandy brown, with gold titles in an Arabic script on the upper forward fuselage, followed by larger, gold "Etihad" titles in English, just ahead of the wing root. There is smaller golden text "From Abu Dhabi To The World" on the lower forward fuselage. A geometric pattern, mostly made up of triangles in shades of grey, brown, and white, fills the top and bottom of the rear fuselage, eventually meeting just in front of the tail, which is also covered in this design. The black registration "A6-ETD" is on a white part of the rear fuselage. The large engine pods under the wings are white, with , with a black and brown "F1" logo (a black, upper-case letter "F", on the left, a brown gradient on the right, and a number "1" in white negative space in the middle), and the black and brown text "2017 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix" on the side. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass and a brown taxiway leading up to a grey terminal building visible under the tail on the right, and the white forward fuselage of another plane in front of some trees on the left. Grey-blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner parked on a runway facing to the left. The plane has a very pale blue, thick stripe running along the body under the passenger cabin windows, with a green stylised flying bird that looks as if drawn by a single stroke of a brush behind the cockpit, and green "Cathay Pacific" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The tail is green with a larger white version of the bird logo. The upturned wingtips are also green, this time with just the tips of the birds wings bleeding through from the white underside of the planes wings. The engine pods slung under the wings are the same pale blue as the body stripe. A wide strip of green grass dominates the foreground, with a black mesh metal fence stretching across the bottom of the frame. In the distance, grey hangars can be seen under the planes nose, with a wide grey terminal under the mid and rear fuselage, Blue sky with smears of thin grey cloud fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a long, thin, twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, parked on a runway waiting for it's take-off clearance. The plane is largely white, with silvery-grey "Scandinavian Airlines" titles above and below the forward cabin windows, just aft of the forward door. The grey registration "EI-FPJ" is on the side of the lower rear fuselage, just in front of the engine pods. The engine pods themselves are red at the front and white at the rear, with white "Scandinavian" titles on the red portion. The dark blue tail has white "SAS" titles at the bottom, a design repeated on the up-turned wingtips. Green grass fills the foreground, lining the sides of the grey runway. More grass lines taxiways in the background, with a grey terminal building in the distance on the right of the frame, with a large grey hangar and a tall grey and black tower on the left. Blue sky with wisps of grey cloud fill the top of the frame.

Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined BizProp rotating as it takes off, moving from right to left with it's nose-wheel lifted off the ground and main wheels just lifting. There is a thin gold and blue stripe running along the body, turning up into the tail and getting wider, the gold stripe wrapping over the top of the body, the blue stripe forming the front of the tail. Ther registration "G-LYDF" is on the lower part of the tail, reflecting low but strong sunlight. The plane's pilot can be seen through the cockpit side window, but the dark cabin doesn't reveal any passengers. Green grass fills most of the foreground, with more grass leading up to a large grey hangar on the right, and the forward fuselage of a white jet airliner with blue and red "Avro RJX" titles on the side on the left of the frame. Leafless trees and grey sky fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving from right to left at a high speed, with the rear half of the engines under the wings in the slid-back position, exposing the thrust reversers, suggesting it has just landed. The plane is broadly a silvery-grey, with dark blue "SkyTeam" titles on the upper forward fuselage above large, dark blue "KLM" titles under a dark blue crown on the lower forward fuselage. Elaborate dark blue scrollwork covers the rear fuselage, ahead of small Netherlands and EU flags just in front of the horizontal stabiliser.
