… in cinemas on 21st February.  (They missed a marketing opportunity for this film.)  Mailed in 2013 with two large commemorative stamps and illegible postmark.  Postmark ink transfer on the front.  Grade: 3

Canada’s first military aircraft over the St. Lawrence River in 1914.  But this artwork is on an unused contemporary card from Canada’s National Museum of Science and Technology.  Grade: 1

Chiang Kai-shek International Airport (also known as CKS) is 40 km west of Taipei.  This card originally had an informative stub on the left, not really meant for mailing, so there’s one perforated edge.  We also have one of these cards with the stub (see 30200455) but this one was mailed with two stamps, airmail sticker, and no postmark.  Grade: 4

Let’s talk about the postcard first:  mailed from Taiwan in 2013 with two large stamps, postmark, and purple bilingual Airmail rubber-stamp chop.  The caption identifies tail number (JA8130) and other details of this Boeing 747-246B.  Our further net search showed this plane first went to Japan Airlines in 1979, then went to Kalitta Air (USA) in 2005 where the registration number became N741CK.  This was cancelled in 2008, and the aircraft is now stored–somewhere.  Grade: 2

Nouvelles Images card, (mostly) B&W, mailed from Belgium in 2013 with four different stamps, none of them postmarked.  There is also an A Prior label.  Grade: 4

U.S. Army Reconnaisance Helicopter.  Did you fly one of these?  Then you need the postcard, to pass along to your children and grandchildren.  Mailed in 2013 with two stamps and postmark.  Orange postal barcoding on the front, faintly visible.  Grade: 2

As with several other aviation-themed postcards from Belarus, this was “prepared with the participation of the Museum of Aviation Technique (Baravaya village of Minsk region)”.  Two of these cards are available, both mailed.  One has large stamp and clear postmark (Grade: 1, $4) while the other has a full postmark but partly torn stamp (Grade: 3, $2).

Mailed from Germany in 2013, this card was dated 2012.  It has two stamps and Priority label, though the postmark is down at the lower left.  Now, about the aircraft D-ABYA:  actually a Boeing 747-830, named “Brandenburg,” whose first flight was in August 2012 so the plane is still active and still with Lufthansa.  Grade: 2

Two cards are available.  One was mailed from Netherlands in 2013 with three different stamps, postmark, and rubber-stamped address (Grade: 3, $5) and the other in 2014 with two stamps and postmark, also with rubber-stamped address (Grade: 3, $4).

This card was mailed from Germany in 2013 with two stamps, and postmark.  And while the aircraft may be (the caption says so) an Airbus 330, the registration number you see–CY 1234–is false.  Cyprus Airways has, or had, two A330s, with registration numbers 5B-DBS and 5B-DBT, both sent to Air Europa and their numbers changed.  The things we learn.  Grade: 2

Mailed in 2013, two stamps and postmark, and orange postal barcoding on bottom reverse.  Now the airline may be gone, but the aircraft itself (actually Boeing 747-412) went over to Singapore Airlines, as of now still holding the same registration number.  Grade: 2

Mailed in 2013 with a long stamp, and postmark.  Grade: 1

Mailed from Helsinki in 2013 with stamp, postmark, and priority label.  This aircraft is more accurately Airbus A321-211 MSN 941, whose first flight was in 1999.  It’s still with Finnair.  Grade: 1

Ufa is the capital city of the Republic of Bashkortostan, Russia, and the industrial, economic, scientific and cultural center of the republic.  The airport is the airport, on this 4″ x 8-1/4″ card mailed from there in 2013 with two stamps, postmark, and address label affixed.  Grade: 3

Penzensky District is an administrative and municipal district, one of the twenty-seven in Penza Oblast, Russia. It is located in the center of the oblast. The area of the district is 2,823.8 square kilometers.  And here’s the airport, on a card having four stamps and all or part of two very large postmarks.  Grade: 3

Mailed from Taiwan (not France!) in 2013 with two stamps and two really heavy postmarks.  Some postmark ink transfer on the front.  Grade: 3
