Tyrolean

Rear side view of a red, 2 seat autogyro taxiing from right to left with the main rotor locked in place. It is basically a red fibreglass shell wrapped around a metal frame, with a pair of open tandem cockpits with large perspex windshields, with a motor bolted on the back powering a pusher propellor, and another metal frame sticking backwards out of the bottom carrying the red tail on an angular metal boom. An uncovered nosewheel sticks out of the bottom of the fuselage, with a pair of rear wheel on struts, partially covered with red sponsons stick out to the sides from under the engine. The silver registration is on the red tail right at the back.Several metal poles stick out from the engine, just above the rear cockpit, supporting and providing some control to the large, 2-bladed main rotor. Both cockpit seats are filled, with people wearing matching flying suits, with red arms and legs and black bodies, as well as white full-face helmets. Grey tarmac taxiway fills the foreground, with 2 wings of an old, brown brick office building in the background, close enough to possibly be hit if the main rotor was spinning, with a white, high-winged, light aircraft parked between the wings.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined purple 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 plane is mostly a lush purple, with a yellow and red band around the rear fuselage, and a whitetail and tail-cone. There are large white "FlyBe" titles over 6 white dots on the forward fuselage, a design replicated diagonally on the tail, only this time the text is in 2 shades of blue, and with 2 yellow dots, 2 red dots, and 2 purple. There are white "Stobart Air" titles under the forward fuselage, just over the nose-wheel doors, repeated over the rear passenger cabin windows, and the registration "EI-REM" just under those windows, also in white.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined parked facing to the left on grass. The plane is largely white, with a black and brown stripe running along the body and engine cowlings, as well as along the top of the tail. The black registration "N889VF" is on the lower rear fuselage with a brown drop shadow. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass leading up to trees in the distance under flat grey sky, with a tall electricity pylon reaching into the sky, with wires stretching across the width of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps drooping down from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about top land. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue belly, and a yellow stripe running along the body below the passenger cabin windows. There are large, dark blue "RyanAir titles on the sides of the forward fuselage, and the registration "G-RUKM" on the upper rear. The tail is dark blue, with a large, yellow, winged Irish harp in the middle. The engine pods are similar to the body, white on top, blue on the bottom, and a yellow stripe through the middle. The tops of trees can be seen at the bottom of the frame, with cloudy sky with patches of pale blue filling the rest.
