Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended behind the wings, suggesting it is about to land. There is a dark blue stripe running along the body, and black "TransLift" titles on the upper fuselage, the first few letters partially obscured by the wing. The registration "EI-CJK" is on the upper rear fuselage in black. On the engine pods, slung under the wings, there is a black circle with a fancy, white, lower-case letter "T" in the middle. Pale blue sky with fluffs of white cloud fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a green, blue, and white, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane is a vivid green on the top of the fuselage, a blue strip below that, a thick dark green stripe along the passenger cabin windows, and a white lower fuselage, with large, white "GillAir" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with a smaller version of this logo on the rear fuselage, just forward of the main door. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with grass in the background leading up to a black runway, and more grass beyond that to a building with light aircraft parked outside in the distance.

Side view of a white, 4 engined, very large jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane has a silver belly, and a thick blue and thin orange stripe running along the body, with large "SAA" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and smaller blue "South African Airways" on the upper mid -fuselage, above the wings. There are additional blue "B747 Super B" titles on the upper rear fuselage, and the registration "ZS-SAL" under the tail. The tail is a bright orange, with a stylised, blue gazelle with wings leaping to the left. There is a black, chain-link fence in the foreground, with a large grassed area behind it. Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

View from below of a white, twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitudes with the undercarriage tucked away, flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. There are orange "EasyJet dot Com" titles on the side of the fuselage, an orange tail, orange engine pods under the wings, and orange brackets on the lower side of the wings holding the flaps in place. Blue skies with wispy white clouds fill the rest of the frame.
Front view of a small, twin engined BizJet with the engines mounted on the rear of the angular fuselage, parked on black tarmac. The plane is mostly white, with blue "Leopard" titles on the fuselage under the heavily glazed cockpit windows. orange tags are attached to several ports on the fuselage and under the wings. In the background, a large expanse of grass stretches in to the distance, with people walking past, standing around and talking, or sitting, with low, wide white buildings right at the back of the frame, under hazy grey skies.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane has a deep blue belly, with a yellow stripe running along the body and under the nose, , with blue engine pods slung under the wing, and a blue tail with a yellow, winged flying harp in the middle. There are blue "RyanAir" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just aft of another, smaller, yellow flying harp. The registration "EI-CKP" is on the upper rear fuselage in black. Green grass and a wooden fence stretch across the foreground, with more grass and a tall concrete wall stretching across the background. Tall lighting poles reach into the grey sky, looming over the rest of the scene.
Close-up of the rear fuselage and upturned wingtips of a white jet airliner taxiing from left to right. A red stripe edged in yellow stretches along the body, getting wider as it moves to the rear, with the registration "B-304K" in black on the upper fear fuselage. The wingtips are red, with yellow swirls, and a yellow stripe at the bottom. Grey concrete apron with a white and black stripe running through the middle fills the rest of the frame.
Side view of a cream-coloured, twin propellor-engined light aircraft parked on grass facing to the left. There is a thick, brick-red stripe running along the planes body, overlaid by the white registration "G-BOZP" on the rear fuselage. Grass fills the foreground, and runs off to trees in the background, under bright but hazy skies.
