Side view of a single engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on grass, it's rear fuselage hanging out over black asphalt. The plane has a white top half and a red lower half, with 3 gold stripes running through the middle, separating the two halves. The white registration "G-BTNV" is on the lower rear fuselage, partially obscured by the left wing. There is small, gold, seemingly hand-written text "Warrior II" on the engine cowling at the front, and small black text "Piper" under a red and blue triangle on the white bottom of the tail. The top of the tail is also red, with 3 gold stripes between the white and red. Green grass fills the foreground, with black asphalt and grey concrete in the background, with more grass in the distance.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a black runway, with flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings. It is turning off the runway onto a taxiway, which suggests it has just landed. The plane is largely white, with a thick purple stripe running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows, with an orange pinstripe below, over a thin gold stripe that gets wider as it moves rearwards, curving down to run under the rear fuselage. There are purple "Singapore Airlines" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just forward of a small Singapore flag. The up-turned wingtips are mostly the same purple, with a bright orange diagonal stripe along the trailing edge. This design is repeated on the tail, with the addition of a highly stylised, golden flying bird in the middle. Green grass fills the foreground, a black sign with a pair of white chevrons pointing left in the bottom right corner, and a black metal mesh fence on black support struts in the lower right. More grass in the background leads up to trees in the distance, under blue-grey sky.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined airliner flying from right to left at a very low altitude, it's wheels just centimetres above the black runway, it's raised nose suggesting it is taking off. The plane is largely white, with a black belly, red "LoganAir" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and black text "Scotland's Airline" on the upper rear. The black registration "G-LGNE" is on the lower rear fuselage. The tail and part of the rear fuselage is covered in a red, black, and white tartan. The engine pods, mounted slightly above the wings, are mostly red, with a black bottom. Green grass lines the black runway in the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance, with pale grey-blue sky filling the rest of the frame.

There are similar orange and black stripes running along the length of the white engine pods slung under the wings. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass on the far side of the runway, and a black taxiway running through, with trees in the distance, under blue sky.

Side view of a high-winged, single engined light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low altitude, less than a metre above the ground, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land on the grass runway below it. Thew plane is mostly white, with a red stripe running along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-CGFG" on the side of the rear fuselage, a red panel on top of the engine cowling in front of the cockpit, and a red stripe at the top of the tail. A bright red light is shining right on the top of the tail. Short green grass fills the foreground, with longer grass in the background, and trees in the distance, all blurred into a smear.

Rear view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner facing directly away from the camera. The plane is almost entirely white, with a red band around the rear fuselage, with a green and black diagonal stripe visible on the tail, and a red patch under the body. A large engine under each of the massive wings (and another engine further out on each side) match the planes humungous fuselage and tail, and somehow manage to make the trees in the background seem small. Shooting through a chainlink fence results in some slight vignetting in the bottom half of the frame. Cloudy grey sky with streaks of blue fill the rest of the frame.
