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.

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.

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 left to right. There are gold "Emirates" titles on the upper forward fuselage, in Arabic at the front, and in English a bit further back. The glyphs used in the Arabic title text are combined into an artistic image in gold on the white engine pods. The tail and rear fuselage has the flag of the United Arab Emirates (equal green, white, and black horizontal bars, with a red vertical bar at the end) emblazoned across it. The registration "A6-EKF" is on the lower rear fuselage in black. The foreground is filled with the grey roof of a building, out of focus as it is much nearer than the plane. In the background, a collection of brown service buildings and black hangars are nestled amongst trees, under bright but hazy skies.
Close-up of the blue tail of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane has a creamy-grey belly, with a thin gold line running along the body. The tail has a gold and white wire-frame globe in one corner. The planes left wing stretches across the frame in the foreground, with the left engine pod in the bottom left corner. A heavily glazed red brick building is hiding behind some yellow metal frames in the background, with black hangars beyond that, under cloudy grey skies.
Close-up of the green tail and white rear fuselage of a very large jet airliner taxiing from right to left. There are 2 thick white stripes running across the tail, and a green stripe running along the body. The registration "B-HUA" is on the rear fuselage in white. A grey metal fence and a black chainlink fence separate us from the plane in the foreground, with a grassed area leading off to trees visible in the background under the tail. Cloudy grey skies fill the rest of the frame.

The top of the body is painted black, with a blue, white, and red roundel in the middle of the fuselage, under the rear cockpit. The serial "k6035" is on the lower rear fuselage, repeated on the tail. More exhibits can be seen in the background in the same hall.

Side view of a white, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with the undercarriage lowered, and flaps deployed from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane has black "jersey European" titles on the lower fuselage, and a black, yellow, orange, and red triangle on the forward fuselage just aft of the cockpit, and on the tail. Cloudy skies with patches of blue fill the rest of the frame.
Side view of a white helicopter parked on grass facing to the right. There are red and orange stripes around the nose, and around the rear fuselage, along the tail boom, and up into the tail. IN the background, grass leads up to a brown hangar in the distance, with several helicopters, a fuel tanker, and several vans and cars parked in front, with trees and a tall white building with "SNECMA" titles on the top floor beyond that, under a grey sky.
Side view of a white, 4 jet engined cargo plane moving from right to left on a black runway with the thrust reversers deployed from the rear of the engines and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it has just landed. There are a pair of black stripes running along the body, red "Air India Cargo" titles on the upper fuselage, and a two-tone letter "S" outlined in black on the tail. The roof of a grey building fills the foreground, while a tall concrete wall stretches across the background, with trees vanishing in to mist beyond that. The tail of a grey and blue jet airliner is peeking in to view on the left of the frame. Grey skies fill the rest of the image.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner parked on a black runway facing to the left. There are large, dark blue, billboard-style "FinnAir" titles emblazoned on the forward fuselage, and a large letter "F" on the tail, also in dark blue. The registration "OH-LKI" is on the upper rear fuselage, just above the rear cabin windows, with smaller "Embraer 190" titles below the windows. Green grass and a large bush fill the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to a grey hangar on the right, under pale blue skies with fluffs of white cloud.
Side view of a grey and dark blue, twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, taxiing from right to left. The plane is mostly grey, with a dark blue belly and top half of the tail. There is a black, chain-link fence slightly out of focus in the foreground, partially obscuring the lower fuselage of the plane. Green grass in the background leads off to the horizon, under grey skies.
Side view of a white, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left at a slightly misty airport. There is a thick red stripe running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows. The tail is red with a red bird on a white stripe across the top, the same bird appearing on the engine pods slung under the wings. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground and a large chunk of the background, with a couple of white jet airliners in the distance, with trees beyond that disappearing into haze in the distance, under horrible grey skies.
