Side view of a twin engined jet airliner facing to the left but being pushed back to the right by an out-of-frame tug attached to the nose-wheel by a long white pole. The plane is largely white, with a dark blue belly, and blue "Sun Express" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The black registration "TC-SNT" is on the lower rear fuselage, below the rearmost passenger cabin windows, with a small Turkish flag just above those windows. A circular, blue sunburst design with an orange band across the middle is on the plane's nose, below the cockpit windows, replicated in a larger form on the tail and rear fuselage. The engine pods under the wings are white on top and blue on the bottom, with an orange stripe across the middle, and white text "SunExpress.com" along the bottom half, while the up-and-down-turned wing-tips are blue, with orange tips on the upper section. Grey concretes apron fills the foreground, with white and yellow markings for aircraft to follow, as well as roadways marked for ground vehicles. More apron fills the background, with a strip of grass separating 2 different areas, with several planes parked against a grey building in the distance.

Side view of a single engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on grass. The plane is covered in wavy black and white stripes, looking vaguely like a zebra would if it had wings. Bright green grass fills the foreground and much of the background, with trees in the distance under blue skies. The tail of another light aircraft can be seen in the background on the left, silver at the front and a black and yellow checkerboard pattern at the rear, overlaid with a red star outlined in yellow, and the black letters "FA" under the horizontal stabiliser.

Side view of a white and black, single engined aerobatic light aircraft parked on grass facing to the left. The plane has black top and bottom surfaces, with a thick white stripe running along the body, and gold piping in between. The registration "G-IITI" is on a thick white stripe on the black tail. There is a large, glazed canopy over the cockpit, with small white "Nigel Lamb" titles on the fuselage immediately behind the canopy. There are also glazed panels in the lower fuselage, under the wings. Black spats cover the wheels on the fixed landing gear. Green grass fills the foreground. A large, red brick hangar is on the right of the frame in the background, with smaller green buildings next to it, towards the middle of the frame. The tail of a white light aircraft and a small, camouflaged helicopter are in the background on the left. Cloudy grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a small, sleek, single engined light aircraft flying from right to left t a very low altitude, just a few metres above a grass runway. The plane is a bright scarlet red, with a large glazed canopy over the 2-seat cockpit, with only the rear seat filled. Long, spindly undercarriage legs extend down from the front of the wings, with large red spats over the main wheels. The spinner on the propellor is a gloss black, , as is the registration "G-COXI" on the sides of the rear fuselage. Greengrass fills the foreground at the bottom of the frame, with trees filling the background, with rolling hills and pale blue sky in the distance.

Side view of a bright red, 2 seat autogyro, parked facing to the left. The aircraft has a sleek red body, with large, fully glazed doors under a large white rotor, with a smaller white pusher propellor at the top of the rear fuselage. A low, thin red tail boom carries the red tail, a large central fin with smaller end-plates on the horizontal stabiliser. The first couple of letters of the registration is visible on the central fin in grey. There are small, grey and black "M24 Orion" titles on the top of the fuselage, just ahead of the pusher prop. Green grass fills the foreground, with several grey cars lined-up side-by-side behind a grey metal fence in the background, with trees in the distance under hazy grey skies.
