Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left onto a grey runway. The plane is largely white, with a red rear fuselage and tail. There are grey "Helvetic" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, with smaller grey text "Airways" below. The black registration "HB-JVO" is on the upper rear fuselage, just forward of the rear cabin door. There is a large white cross on the red tail, as well as on the red up-turned wingtips.

Low side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land.
The plane is largely white, with black "Scandinavian" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with a series red, blue, and yellow diagonal stripes on the lower forward fuselage.
The white engine pods mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage have a series of 3 squares - blue with a yellow cross, red with a white and black cross, and red with a white cross - on the sides.

Side view of a long, thin, twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, facing to the left but being pushed back to the right by an almost out of frame low slung green tug attached to the nose wheel.
The plane has a white top half with a silvery-grey belly, and a thick brown and black stripe running along the body, just below the passenger cabin windows.
There are red "SwissAir" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the black registration "HB-INN" on the upper rear, under the tail.
The tail itself is red, with a large white cross in the middle.
A large expanse of grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a couple of airport vehicles, a small green car and a white van on the left of the frame, following a roadway marked on the surface.
A brown building stretches across the right-hand half of the background, with a white, very large 4 engined jet airliner with a bright yellow tail taxiing to the right on the left, under dreary grey sky.

Side view of a high-winged, 4 jet-engined cargo plane, parked facing to the left. The plane is mostly white, with a grey belly, and a thick blue stripe running along the fuselage, as well as "Aeroflot" titles in a Russian script on the upper forward fuselage. The tail is white, with the registration "RA-76529" at the base, and a Russian flag (equal white, blue, and red horizontal stripes) outlines in black in the middle. The wings have 2 engines suspended under neath them - the outer engine on this side is a standard jet engine, but the inner engine has been replaced with one with 8 very curved grey propellor blades. The lower half of the nose cone is extensively glazed, bulging down below the rest of the body. There is a blue and grey airport tug attached to the planes nose wheel by a long yellow pole. Green grass fills the foreground, with rows of trees in the background, under a blue-grey sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the rear fuselage moving from left to right. The thrust reversers on the back of the engines have been deployed, suggesting it has just landed. The plane is mostly white, with a red and blue stripe running along the body. The tail is mostly blue, with a red oval outlined in white, with white "JAT" titles in the middle. Grass and a taxiway fills the foreground, with the background being more grass running off to trees lining the airfield perimeter in the far distance, under a grey-blue sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the rear fuselage, parked facing to the right. The plane is mostly white, with a grey belly, and a brown and black stripe running along the middle of the fuselage under the cabin windows, as well as over the engine pods. There are red "swissair" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with the registration "HB-INU" on the tailcone in black. The tail is red, with a large white cross in the middle. There are 3 cargo bay doors open in the belly, 2 forward of the wing, and 1 aft. The planes rear airstairs are deployed, coming down from below the rear fuselage, between the engines. In the background, several almost identical planes are clustered around, as well as a similar looking but slightly smaller plane in front of the red and blue sign with "Flughafenbahn" titles. A couple of larger planes in the same colours can be seen further back, with a larger plane in predominantly white and yellow right at the back. Buildings obscured by haze dominate the skyline, under a blanket of grey cloud.

Rear view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner parked facing away from the camera. The plane has a mostly sand-coloured body, with a white belly, while the wings and tail are dark blue, with a line drawing of a helmeted Ancient Greek warrior on the tail. 2 doors are open in the fuselage, a large passenger door with a built-in airstar coming down to the ground, and a smaller door to the rear, for access to the cargo compartment. These doors help show off the planes square fuselage shape. In the background, the sky is a really pale blue.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from right to left at a low altitude, with the undercarriage lowered, flaps extended from the rear of the wing, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off.
