Side view of a single engined light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low altitude, maybe 2 or 3 metres above a grass runway, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and flying straight and level, suggesting it is about to land, the fixed undercarriage not telling us anything. The plane is white, with a thin yellow and blue stripe running along the body, overlaid with the blue registration "G-LACB" on the side of the rear fuselage. There is a red star, with the side arms made from a pair of pilots wings, overlaid with an image of a light aircraft soaring into the sky, in the middle of the white tail. Grass fills the foreground and most of the background, with trees and bushes marking the airfield perimeter in the distance.

Rear side view of a single engined light aircraft parked facing to the right on black tarmac. The plane is largely white, with a thin blue and yellow stripe running along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-LACB" on the side of the rear fuselage. There is a red star on the white tail, made up of an upper case letter "A" with wings at the sides, overlaid with the silhouette of a small plane flying upwards, and with the text "LAC Flying School" at the bottom. Black tarmac fills the foreground, with a red brick building in the background, on the right, and trees on the left, with a tall bridge in the distance, under flat grey sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner accelerating from right to left along a black runway. The plane is largely white, with a diagonal red band wrapped around the nose and forward fuselage, and a stylised white flower with a yellow centre on the forward cabin door. There are large, billboard-style "Edelweiss" titles on the upper fuselage, with smaller, red "Switzerland" titles in an italic font just ahead of the wing box, and the black registration "HB-IHY" on the lower rear fuselage, next to a small Swiss flag. The red tail has a larger version of the white and yellow flower logo, repeated in a smaller form on the vertical wingtip fences. Green grass lines the black runway in the foreground, with taxiways and more grass in the background, with grey hangars in the distance on either side of the image, and pale blue sky with smears of grey cloud filling the rest of the frame.
