The postage stamp issue was released by the postal administration of the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro (formerly the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia), even though the subject is often associated primarily with Serbian aviation.
The issue commemorates a major milestone in world air sports:
- Issuing Entity: Serbia and Montenegro (as the State Union was called from 2003-2006).
- Year of Issue: 2005.
- Theme: 100th Anniversary of the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) – Air Sports/Airplanes.
Key Details of the Stamps
- Number of Stamps: The set typically consists of a single stamp or a pair issued under the same theme. (Philatelic listings usually refer to the issue as a single commemorative item or a set that included an airplane motif).
- Aircraft/Motifs: The stamps feature aircraft and motifs related to the history of air sports and the FAI (International Aeronautical Federation). Given the general “Air Sports” and “Airplanes” title, the designs usually feature:
- Gliders/Sailplanes (representing sport flying).
- Small powered aircraft (used in air racing and acrobatics).
- The FAI emblem or logo.
The commemorative nature of the stamp celebrates Serbia and Montenegro’s long history in air sports and their connection to the international federation.
