The tail is mostly dark blue, with 2 thin lighter blue stripes and a similar red stripe at the bottom, all outlined in white.
The foreground is mostly filled with grey concrete apron, with the white and red tail of a small jet airliner poking out from behind the corner of a dark grey terminal engine on the bottom right of the frame.
A grey and dark blue, very large 4 engined airliner is taxiing across the frame from left to right in the background, with a white and black 3 engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left towards the runway beyond that.

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. The plane has a red belly with a red stripe running along the lower body, and red, white, and blue stripes running the width of the wings, horizontal stabiliser, and tail. There is a black and white line drawing of the face of a man wearing a World War 2-era flying jacket and helmet overlaid on the tail. Green grass fills the foreground, with trees in the background under grim grey skies.

Low side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, flying from left to right at a very low altitude with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wing, suggesting it is about to land. The planer has a dark blue belly, and large blue "Airtours" titles on the lower forward fuselage. The tail is the same dark blue, with a large, dark blue letter "A" outlined in green, in the middle of a light blue circle. Cloudy grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Low side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude with it's undercarriage already tucked away, flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. There are large, orange, billboard-style "EasyJet.com" titles on the planes fuselage, partially obscured by the wing. The engine pods are orange, with white "EasyJet" titles, as is the tail, with the titles arranged diagonally. The registration "G-EZFN" is on the lower rear fuselage, as well as under the left wing. Blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white, twin engined BizJet with a blue stripe running along the body, taxiing from left to right. The engines are mounted on the rear fuselage, and has a dark blue stripe on the bottom, almost merging in to the stripe on the main body. The registration "D-IMME" is on the tail in grey. A taxiway bordered by grass strips fills the background.

Damp, black tarmac fills the foreground, with low sunlight reflecting strongly off puddles of water, with a white van with a yellow roof parked near the planes wing.
A pair of duck-egg blue fuel tanks with "Jet A-1" markings loom over the scene in the background, strongly lit by the setting sun from the left.

Side view of a 2 seat, single propellor-engined military trainer aircraft in a sandy brown camouflage scheme parked facing to the left. The serial number "KAF112" is displayed prominently on the rear fuselage in black, while the flag of Kuwait (vertical black lozenge on the left with green, white, and red stripes filling the rest) on the tail. The plane is parked on black tarmac, but the rear fuselage and tail sticks out over grass. Below the wings, several pods that can be carried are displayed on the ground. The wing and 3 propellors of a high-winged military transport plane is sneaking into frame on the left, while a grey bizjet can be seen immediately behind this plane. Ominous grey clouds fill the rest of the frame.

Close-up of the white forward fuselage and cockpit of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner. There are large, black "Singapore Airlines" titles above the wing, smaller black "MegaTop" titles above the forward cabin windows on the upper deck, and red "1000th Boeing 747" titles above the open forward door, between the upper and lower deck windows. A purple, yellow, and gold stripe runs along the body from just aft of the open forward door, and the up-turned wingtip is purple, with a yellow band at the rear. A set of blue airstairs is parked against the open forward door. In the background, a large brown building is nestled in trees.
