Side view of a twin engined jet airliner parked on a runway, ready for take-off. The plane is basically white, with red "Jet2.com" titles on the lower forward fuselage, red "Friendly Low Fares" text on the upper middle fuselage, over the wings, and both sets of text on the white engine pods under the wings. There are also diagonal red "Jet2.com" title on the white tail. Several lights on the nose-wheel leg are reflected on the damp runway. Grass fills the foreground, with more grass visible under the plane in the background, leading up to large terminal buildings in the distance on both sides of the frame. Bright but cloudy sky completes the image.

Close-up of the up- (and down-) turned wing tip of a twin engined jet airliner moving from right to left. The plane is almost entirely white, with the last 2 letters "RN" of the registration on the upper rear fuselage, and grey text "Boeing 737-800" on the lower rear fuselage. The wing-tips are bright orange, with white "Sunwing" titles under a stylised, child-like image of a sunburst. The tail is the same bright orange. Green grass lines both sides of a taxiway in the background, under the tail, with the rear of a yellow sign, and the front of a black sign with yellow letters "VA". Grey sky with pale blue patches fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage already retracted, flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and the nose raised, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is almost entirely white, with a grey belly, and vivid blue engine pods mounted on the front of the wings. The black registration "EI-REH" is on the lower rear fuselage, next to small Irish and EU flags. A blue feather with a grey drop shadow is in the middle of the white tail. Bright but hazy sky with hints of blue on the sides fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from right to left at a very low altitude, with undercarriage extended, flaps extended from the rear of the wing, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane's forward fuselage is red, with white "Norwegian.com" web address at the bottom. A thin blue band around the body separated the forward fuselage from the rest of the plane, which is almost entirely white, marred only red up-turned wing-tips, a thick red stripe at the top of the tail, and the black registration "LN-NGV" on the upper rear fuselage. Green grass fills the bottom of the frame, under the plane, with another couple of airliners, one white and orange, the other white and grey with yellow highlights on the left of the frame, next to a large terminal building in the background. Jelly from the engine exhaust partially obscures this background. Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage extended and flaps deployed from the rear of the wings, obviously just about to land. There are blue and red "Eastern Airways" titles on the forward fuselage, just below the forward cabin windows, and a small Union Flag under the cockpit windows. There is a wavy, blue-red-blue diagonal stripe on the tail, a design repeated in a smaller form on the sides of the engine pods, under the wings. A black runway stretches across the bottom of the frame, lined on each side by lush green grass. The grass on the far side leads up to a ground level car park behind a black chain-link fence, with trees beyond that, under pale blue sky.

The white registration is on the rear fuselage next to a small UK flag, above the rear cabin windows, with the white text "Boeing 767-300" below those windows. The tail is a slightly paler blue, with a red logo that looks like the letters "T", "U", and "i" squished together to form a winking smiley face. The white engine pods mounted under the wings have red text "Thomson" on the side, while the up-turned wing tips are the same blue as the body. Lush green grass fills the foreground, with rolling hills in the distance almost getting lost in lightly hazy, blue and white sky.
