being pushed back to the right by an almost out-of-frame tug attached to the nose-wheel by a long white pole.
The plane has a grey belly, and a thin red pinstripe running along the border between the white and grey.
There are dark blue "Aegean" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the black registration "SX-DGP" on the lower rear fuselage, next to small Greek and EU flags.
The airline's web address is on the upper rear fuselage, just forward of the rear door, with small text "Airbus A321"  just aft of the door.
The outline of a dark blue circle is on the side of the engine pods, overlaid with a couple of stylised birds drawn as single lines, a logo that is partially repeated in a much larger form on the white tail, only the left part of the circle along with the birds wings being shown.
Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a small, white, baggage truck parked on the left of the frame, and a man in red trousers and a yellow hi-viz vest walking alongside the plane just above the tug.
A strip of green grass separates this plane from more apron in the background, with tall lighting poles reaching out of frame, and several mostly white jet airliners parked, with trees in the distance.

High side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left across a saturated section of airport apron.
The plane is largely white, with a lilac section in the middle, over the wing root, and blue at the rear, both with swirly white piping, and grey and blue "Blue 1" titles on the upper forward fuselage.
Smaller, white and grey "Blue1" titles are on the blue tail, and the white registration "OH-BLQ" is on the side of the engine pods, mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, next to a small Finnish flag.
The plane is reflected in puddles on the rather wet apron in the foreground, which suggests it has recently been raining, if it is not still doing so, with more wet apron filling the background.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right, it's nose-wheel turned to it's right, suggesting it is making a rather steep turn.
The plane is mostly white, with large, billboard-style gold "Emirates" titles on the sides of the forward fuselage, repeated in a smaller Arabic script over the passenger cabin windows over the wing root.
A heavily stylised flag of the United Arab Emirates adorns the rear fuselage and tail.
There is a multi-coloured logo on the rear fuselage - blue and green circular laughing cartoon faces, the green one with an additional stroke on top, both representing the number "06", with a smaller, laughing orange face on top, and a small image of the FIFA World Cup in a circle at the bottom, with a black, red, and yellow stripe around one side of the blue face, with the blue text "FIFA World Cup" on top of the rear fuselage, and larger green "Germany 2006" above and below the rear cabin windows.
Damp black concrete apron fills the foreground, with a white airbridge hanging out in space on the left.
More apron fills the background, with various jet airliners parked around the edges, all mostly white, whit high-lights in orange, blue, yellow, and red, mostly parked facing away from the camera, towards a large, low building with a brown, white, and red striped roof.
Trees meet grey sky in the distance.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner facing to the left but being pushed back to the right by an out of frame tug attached to the nose wheel  by a long white pole.
The plane is mostly a dirty, off-white, with silver "Scandinavian Airlines" titles above and below the forward cabin windows, stylised flags of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark on the upper rear fuselage, and the grey registration "SE-RET" on the lower rear.
The dark blue tail has a white "SAS" logo, a design replicated in the up-turned wingtips.
The engine pods mounted under the wings are bright red at the front , with small white "Scandinavian" titles, and grey at the rear.
Wet concrete apron fills the foreground and most of the background, marked with yellow lines for the planes to follow, and white markings indicating a roadway for ground vehicles.
A cluster of ground vehicles is following this roadway, parked in place while the plane backs over this track.
A pair of white, orange, and grey are parked against the terminal in the upper left corner, with a grey and red plane beyond that, and a much larger white twin engined airliner just showing it's belly in the top right corner.

Side view of a green, twin engined jet airliner with a grey belly taxiing from left to right. There is a thick white stripe running along the body, with dark green "Aer Lingus" titles on the lower forward fuselage. The green tail has a large white shamrock in the middle, a design repeated on the upturned wingtips. Strong sunlight coming from the left of the frame casts long shadows under the plane. A pair of large grey hangars are on either side of the frame in the background, under bright but hazy skies.Side view of a white, 3 engined jet airliner taxiing from, right to left. The plane has a dark blue stripe running along the body and up into the tail, and a silver belly. There are dark blue "Olympic" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and a series of linked, coloured rings on the blue tail. The top of a grey airbridge stretches across the foreground, while dark taxiways stretch off into the distance, wending their way around large islands of green grass, slowly vanishing in to haze, under hazy grey sky.Closeup of the grey and dark blue tail of a jet airliner moving from right to left. A grey crest featuring a winged lion and a winged horse either side of a shield is in the middle of the tail, under grey letters "NWA" at the top. A large concrete apron area with a large patch of green grass in the middle dominates the background, with a pair of wide, black hangars in the distance, under grey skies.
