» Third Version (2019-)
- Bolesław Orliński | Stanisław Skarżyński

The starboard side showed a decal of Stanisław Skarżyński, who is famous for his 1933 transatlantic solo flight. Aviator decals were faded by 2020.

» Second Version (2018-19)
- Franciszek Żwirko | Stanisław Wigura  
SP-ENX B737-8Q8 Enter Air 2018-19

In late August 2018 the two aviator decals were changed to two other pioneers: on the port side mechanic Stanisław Wigura (1901-1932) was featured while the port side showed pilot Franciszek Żwirko (1895-1932). Together they won the Challenge International de Tourisme 1932 race over Europe, a major aviation event at the time.

» First Version (2018)
- Merian Caldwell Cooper | Stefan Stec  
SP-ENX B737-8Q8 Enter Air 2018

In parallel with LOT, charter carrier Enter Air participated in the celebrations of Poland's 1st centenary. The front fuselage decals were added first; a few weeks later the faces of two aviators were added on the tail: Merian Caldwell Cooper (1893-1973) and por. pil. Stefan Stec (1893-1921). Cooper was an American aviator, USAF and Polish Air Force officer, also the founder of the Kościuszko Squadron during the Polish–Soviet War. Stefan Stec was one of the pioneers of Polish aviation, and is also credited as the originator of the Polish Air Force checkerboard. Quite surprisingly the tail decals have been changed twice already since 2018 (see above).
