Just sorted the "CFA" overprint era of Réunion in Africa, and found these two which I thought you might like to see: Scott #C49, 1961: Scott #C51, 1967:

Hi everyone. about time I posted again. I started a new series on the blog cddstamps.wordpress.com showing stamps from Spain I hope you have time to visit and enjoy and maybe even learn a thing or two. This from my recent posting. Beautiful city, Madrid, ( well it was when last I was there) This is the Post Office and Cibeles Fountain, oh yes, and an aircraft. They don't design stamps like this anymore, do they?

How about a few from Canada. This is a series started in 1979 and ending in 1982.
Steiner made a mistake on this page. It is not a block but two se-tenant pairs. I think he corrected the page later.

Hi after a very fast weekend, here is one more although.... I am having writers block for a new series of aircraft on stamps.. feedback / ideas etc welcomed as for this one, obviously an artists impression while under the influence perhaps? What do you think? I am all for artistic verisimilitude but this one doesn’t do it for me. Issued in 1960 for the inauguration of Papeete airport and supposedly showing a DC8. Someone will know more than me but I thought DC7s were being used around 1960 with the DC8 introduced on the Honolulu service around 1962.

Yes really like the Canada series. but I like to get away from everything US and even Canada. at times it seems the rest of the world does not exist philatelically speaking. US this and US that drives me quite mad.......... there is a world outside of the US of A ........ although you wouldn't know it from some sites fortunately Ted had a broader view and mind set than some others . well done Ted and anyone that does not push US stamps down my throat :-)

cddstamps - I feel your pain. I have been working on Canada for the last month or so and just had to step away for a while and go on to something else. So, for your viewing pleasure of something not US/Canada how about a few aircraft from somewhere else. These are helicopters but in my world if it flies and does not have feathers it goes under the heading "aircraft"
Picked a couple from Russia.
While I don't collect covers as a rule I do keep the odd one when it shows any of my many topics that I collect.

Nice helicopters, certainly fun to fly in thanks for sharing those Russia stamps. todays choice for me is this stamp from a series of 9 from 1934. two things one, look carefully and the image of a head in profile looking to the left shows in the clouds - I looked at all the stamps in the issue and they are all the same. Was this deliberate in the engraving? I don't know. Second, difficult to find out about this aircraft, OO-AIX a Fokker FV113M. other than it was a Sabena plane based in Leopoldville (Kinshasa today) , and it was this same model that was flown in 1928 on the first flight cross the Pacific by Charles Kingsford Smith and three colleagues. They left Oakland, California on May 31 in a Fokker FV11-3M stopping in Hawaii and Fiji before arriving in Brisbane.

Here are a couple from Rwanda. I think there are more in the whole set. I don't have them.
The Wright Flyer (also known as the Kitty Hawk, Flyer I or the 1903 Flyer) made the first sustained flight by a manned heavier-than-air powered and controlled aircraft—an airplane—on December 17, 1903. Invented and flown by Orville and Wilbur Wright, it marked the beginning of the pioneer era of aviation. (info from Wikipedia)
The 14-bis also known as Oiseau de proie ("bird of prey" in French), was a pioneer era, canard-style biplane designed and built by Brazilian aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont. In 1906, near Paris, the 14-bis made a manned powered flight that was the first to be publicly witnessed by a crowd. (info from Wikipedia)
