Side view of a white, high-winged, single-engined light aircraft parked on grass facing to the right. The plane has a blue stripe running along the body from just behind the propellor in the nose, overlaid with the blue registration "G-FUZZ". The plane is casting a strong shadow on the grass, the shadow of the wing suggests that the sun is fairly low down on the right. Green grass fills the foreground, with some other planes visible in the background, some surrounded by crowds of people. Bright but hazy sky with fluffs of white sky fill the rest of the frame.

Vertically oriented head-on view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner parked at the terminal, with the cockpit very slightly lower than the camera. The plane is mostly white, with a black and brown stripe wrapped around the nose and running towards the rear, while the tail is bright red. A blue airbridge is attached to the forward door on the lower left fuselage. An almost identical plane can be seen tail-on in the background, facing the sandy-brown terminal on the other side. On the left of the background, a sandy-brown tower with white "Zurich" titles is built on top of that terminal on the left. Rolling hills fill the background, slowly vanishing into haze in the distance.

Side view of a twin-engined BizProp taxiing from left to right along a black tarmac taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue belly and engine pods. The tail is white, with a green circle containing a white loveheart, itself containing a small image of a plane leaving a contrail. A similar logo (white loveheart with blue plane) is on the inside of the blue upturned wingtips. The engines have 4-bladed propellors spinning slowly at the front. Green grass lines the taxiway in the foreground, with more grass leading up to the horizon, under blue skies with bright white cloud.
