Yellow Ribbon 

N625US
1991-92

Yellow is the official color of the armor branch of the U.S. Army. The yellow ribbon saw renewed popularity in the United States during the Gulf War in the early 1990s. It appeared along with the slogan "support our troops", in the form of yellow ribbons tied to trees, and this one was celebrating the return of the US troops home after Operation Desert Storm in January/February 1991. At least 3 Continental 747s also wore a yellow ribbon.

Swiss Confederation 700 Years  

by Giacomo Fiscalini
HB-AHD
1991-95

The Swiss Confederation celebrated its 700th anniversary in 1991: its origins can be traced back to the Federal Charter of 1291. Crossair held a livery design competition for Swiss children on the occasion. Giacomo Fiscalini, a 10 year-old boy from Ticino got its drawing adapted on this Saab 340. The wings were fully painted in blue and it is to be noted that the Crossair titles and the logo were also painted in a hand-drawn manner, a rare occurence. This aircraft operated for UK subsidiary Business Air for a few weeks in March 1995, gaining additional handwritten Business Air titles during that period.

In the aftermath of the 1991 Gulf War air travel bookings slumped and to stimulate traffic, BA came up with what became at the time the largest marketing campaign in the industry. Every seat on every international British Airways flight on 23rd April 1991 was given away for free - a total of 50,000 seats. The campaign was launched in February and people already booked on that day were given a voucher for a free flight at another time; full page print ads ran in 67 countries and 37 languages with an entry form. The free draw saw thousands participating and the tickets were sent to the winners. The campaign won 7 awards and indeed stimulated the restart of bookings. At least 20 aircraft carried the special titles with both the Eiffel Tower and Statue of Liberty featured.
