Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right along a taxiway that is just low enough to appear to be covered in grass. The plane is mostly purple, with a diagonal white band wrapped around the tail and tail-cone, as well as a thin, red, diagonal band and a thicker, yellow, diagonal band wrapped around the rear fuselage. There are white "FlyBe" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, covering some of the passenger cabin windows towards the front, over a series of 6 large white dots. There is white text "Faster than road or rail" on the side of the engine pods under the wings, and the black registration "G-PRPF" on the tail-cone. There are 2-tone blue "FlyBe" titles arranged diagonally on the tail, over 2 yellow, 2 red, and 2 purple dots. Green grass fills the bottom of the frame, lining the side of a black runway, with another thin strip of grass between that and the taxiway our plane is on. Grass and trees stretch across the background, under blue-grey sky.

Side view of a single-engined BizProp taxiing from right to left on a black taxiway. The plane is white on top and towards the front, and black on the bottom and to the rear, separated by a brown stripe that swoops along the fuselage. The brown registration "N5347V" outlined in white and with a gold drop shadow is on the side of the lower rear fuselage. A pair of gold stripes run along the forward fuselage, one above the brown stripe, the other below, with a thin gold band wrapped around the tail-cone and tail. The pilot can be seen through the cockpit window, with black text "Piper" on the side of the upper fuselage just behind him. Green grass lines both sides of the runway at the bottom of the frame, with more grass separating taxiways and a runway in the background, and more grass leading off to trees and bushes in the distance, slowly vanishing into mist.

Side view of a helicopter hovering a couple of metres above a dark grey taxiway, facing to the right. The helicopter is black, with a silver and orange stripe swooping across the forward fuselage and along the tail boom. The silver registration "G-DCAM" is on the side of the engine pod on top of the fuselage. The main and tail rotors are spinning, and exhaust from the rear of the engine is creating jellied air behind it. Black taxiway fills most of the foreground, with grass on the left. A heavily glazed grey terminal building fills most of the background, under bright but hazy sky.

Rear side view of a single engined light aircraft parked facing to the right on black tarmac. The plane is largely white, with a thin blue and yellow stripe running along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-LACB" on the side of the rear fuselage. There is a red star on the white tail, made up of an upper case letter "A" with wings at the sides, overlaid with the silhouette of a small plane flying upwards, and with the text "LAC Flying School" at the bottom. Black tarmac fills the foreground, with a red brick building in the background, on the right, and trees on the left, with a tall bridge in the distance, under flat grey sky.

Side view of a long, thin, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane is in a pale cream colour, with a gold and red pinstripe running along the body, under the passenger cabin windows. There are large, gold, "Etihad" titles on the upper centre fuselage, with a smaller version in an Arabic script on the upper forward fuselage. There is more Arabic text, in gold, on the lower forward fuselage. There is a large sticker with black and gold text on the upper rear fuselage, with a large black and gold "F1", then smaller text "2016 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix". Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a mobile set of airstairs with a brown perspex awning over the top seeming to drive towards this plane, and a white van driving from right to left by an airbridge on the left of the frame that seems to hang out of nowhere. Low, grey cargo sheds stretch across the background, with several planes parked nose-in towards them. Taller office buildings and hotels nestled in trees are in the distance, under hazy grey sky.

Side view of a red, single-engined biplane taxiing from left to right on a grass airfield. A pair of white lines wrap above and below the engine cowling in the nose, then run towards the rear, getting thinner as they go, overlaid with the white registration "G-HOON" on the lower rear fuselage, just aft of the bubble canopy over the single seat cockpit. The text "Pitts S-1S" is on the top half of the front of the red tail, with a red and white checkerboard pattern on the rear. The checkerboard pattern is repeated on the outer faces of the undersides of the wings. The white propellor at the front is a spinning white blur.

Low side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is almost entirely purple, with an orange and purple band around the rear fuselage, and a white tail-cone and tail. There are white., billboard-style "FlyBe" titles above 6 white dots on the side of the forward fuselage, with similar diagonal titles in light and dark blue on the tail, over 2 orange, 2 red, and 2 purple dots. The white titles are also inverted on the underside of the fuselage. The engine pods mounted out on the wings are also purple, with the main undercarriage hanging down on long, spindly legs from the rear. The black registration "G-JECZ" is on the side of the tail-cone right at the rear. Flat grey clouds fill the rest of the frame.
