Swiss Airlines planes have a really neat paint scheme. The tail is a big plus.

With all due respect, and at my own expense, but I had to share this from another group
One afternoon down at the Pet Store
A fellow walked into a pet store and was looking at the animals on display. While he was there, a WOE from the local Air Force Base walked in and said to the shopkeeper, "I'd like a line-service monkey please."
The clerk nodded, went to a cage at the side of the store and took out a monkey. He put a collar and leash on the animal and handed it to the WOE, "That'll be $1,000.00" The Chief paid and left with the monkey.
Surprised, the fellow went to the shopkeeper and said, "That was a very expensive monkey. Most of them here are only a few hundred dollars. Why did that one cost so much?"
The shopkeeper answered, "Ah -- that was a line-service monkey. He can park, fuel, and service all Air Force aircraft, conduct all required ground ops testing, rig aircraft flight controls, and all with zero mistakes. He's well worth the money."
With his interest peaked, the fellow looked around and spotted a monkey in another cage with a $10,000.00 price tag. "That one's really expensive! What can it do?"
"Oh, that one is a maintenance supervisor monkey. He can instruct at all levels of aircraft maintenance, supervise all corrective and preventive maintenance programs, supervise a crew of maintainers, and even do most of the paperwork. A very useful monkey indeed," replied the shopkeeper.
The guy looked around a little more and found another monkey in a cage at the back of the store. The price tag read, $50,000.00. "Holy cow! What does this one do?"
"Well, the shopkeeper said, I've never actually seen him do anything but drink beer, flirt with the girl monkeys, and play with his pecker, but his papers say he's a pilot."

There’s another thread that’s been running hot for a few days now that reminded me of this.
