Head-on view of a twin-engined military jet bomber plane parked on black tarmac facing the camera.
The plane is mostly sandy-brown, with a grey belly.
The engines are buried in the wings, with red plates over the intakes, and the main landing gear is attached to the side of the engine pods.
The bubble canopy over the cockpit is offset to the left of the plane, with a removeable ladder attached for the crew to access the plane.
Red and white ribbons are attached to the covers of various sensors on the planes nose.
Puddles on the black tarmac suggest that it has recently been raining.
A field full of parked cars is in the background, stretching off into the distance, under flat grey sky.

Side view of a white, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane has a silver belly, blue "Lufthansa" titles on the lower forward fuselage, and a blue tail with a yellow circle containing a stylised flying blue bird in the middle. The left hand propellor is blurred because of it's rotation speed, while the right engine is stationary. Grey concrete apron fills the rest of the frame, with a small piece of grass on the right of the frame.Front view from below of a white, twin engined jet airliner flying from the bottom to the top of the frame at a low altitude, with flaps extended from behind the wings, the underdcarriage is being retracted, and the nose raised significantly, suggesting it has just taken off. There are dark blue "Transat" titles on the on the forward fuselage, and the tail and rear fuselage are a similar blue. The damp air is causing momentary clouds to appear in the front of the engines. Cloudy grey skies fill the rest of the frame.Side view of a high-winged, 4 propellor-engined military cargo plane in an olive green and grey camouflage scheme flying from left to right with the undercarriage being retracted, flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. There is a large blue and red roundel on the rear fuselage, and the small serial "XV292" in white just aft, with the large number "292" on the nose. There is a large, blue and red, number "25" on the tail, with a heavy white drop-shadow, with smaller, white "Hercules" above and "Years in RAF Service" below. Bright but hazy sky with just the merest hint of blue on the left fills the rest of the frame.

Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance, slowly vanishing in to haze, under cloudy grey skies.Slightly over-exposed and marginally soft-focus close-up of the rear fuselage and tail of a twin engined jet airliner flying from right to left at a very low altitude. The plane has a white body with a deep blue belly, with a bright yellow stripe separating the 2 colours. The registration "EI-EFX" is on the upper rear fuselage in black, just aft of a small Irish flag. The blue upturned wing-tips have yellow "RyanAir" titles, while the blue tail has a yellow, winged Irish harp. Grey blue skies fill the rest of the frame.Side view of a blue, single engined military trainer aircraft moving from right to left on a runway, with several almost identical planes around it.

Side view of a very grey, high-winged, 4 propellor-engined military transport plane parked facing to the left. The top surfaces are a fairly dark grey, most of the body and the sides of the engine pods and external, wing-mounted fuel tanks are a mid grey, and the belly and undersides of the engines and fuel tank are a light grey. The number "999" is on the nose below the cockpit in a darker grey, as well as the number "4999" under letters "NY" on the tail, Stars-And-bars on the rear fuselage, and "marines" titles under the wings. A young person in dark blue pants, blue shirt, and dark blue pullover with patches on the shoulder is walking to the left, looking away from the plane.

Side view of a white, high-winged, twin propeller-engined airliner parked facing to the left with a green portable generator parked in front of the rear door.
The plane has a blue stripe, outlines with thin red stripes, running along the body, getting wider as it sweeps up into the tail, and the registration "SP-TXB" on the rear fuselage.
The white tail has the Polish flag (white field at the top with an equal red field at the bottom) in the middle, the white portion of the flag outlined with a fine red line.
Yellowing grass fills the foreground, while the background has a similar sized, white, low-winged, twin propeller-engined airliner on the right, and a much bigger white jet airliner with the engines in square pods under the rear of the wings and a massive dark blue, red, and white tail, on the left.
Thin white clouds with patches of pale blue poking through fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white and blue, twin engined jet airliner moving from right to left along a runway. There is a red winky face on the tail that appears to be made up of the letters "T", "U", and "I", if you squint a bit, and red "Thomson" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The rear cowling on the engine pods has moved backwards to activate the thrust reversers, which along with the flaps under the rear of the wings and the deployed spoilers on top of the wing, suggest that the plane is decelerating after landing. Green grass and bushes fill the foreground, some of the bushes partially obscuring the planes lower forward fuselage, with trees and grass in the background, under grey-blue skies.Side view of a white, high-winged, twin propeller-engined airliner parked facing to the left with a green portable generator parked in front of the rear door.

The registration "N866BB" is dissplayed prominently on the tail in brown. The words "Driven to new highs" have been painted under the cockpit windows. A couple of other, similar sized planes can be seen in the background on the right, while a low building with several red and blue arrowheads emblazoned on it is on the left.
