Yeah but its not listed by Scott in the airmails. Last airmail issued was in 2012.
this one doesn't have a scott number yet. the 2013 is called a global-rate stamp by the post office. maybe this one, since the post office labeled it as airmail, will have a scott number to reflect this?

There is no such thing anymore sadly as airmail. it's mostly overland or bagged and thrown on a commercial flight to be sorted and delivered. I see why scott don't list them as such.

Although it doesn't show as much of the USA, I like the original better. I wonder why they didn't rotate the globe 180 degrees for a new stamp and show us the other side of the world, too?
crazyquilter that Global stamp is a priority mail stamp not an airmail. Scott C150 is the last "Airmail" stamp to be issued. I think Linn's ran an article oabout airmail stamps and there is not suppose to be anymore specific "Airmail Stamps" to be issued. Now I'm sure that only applied to U.S. stamp not WW. Same for the new to be issued Global Stamp. It too probably will be a "Priority Mail" stamp.

I use the round global forever stamps on postcrossing postcards, they're very popular! Cant wait for the thermals!

I do the same thing. Have received lots of compliments on them. Also can't wait for these to come out, even though I have slowed down the amount of cards I have been sending out.

Though after a while, I get "fed up" of yet another global forever stamp....and hoping my US penfriends play mental arithmetic.... (looking at a cover with Lunar New Year, Building a Nation, 15c Olympics 1980 and 2c pretty jewelry...)
I am a letter writer, snailmail addict. I send therefore I receive. I also manage a letter writing/correspondence forum called A World of Snail Mail. I sometimes post pictures on Instagram (username morgaine_does_snail_mail) Stamp themes - science, nature, postal history, maps, nice stamps.
Its a shame that the US has decided to discontinue airmail stamps, but after thinking about it, why do we need them.....
Since they decided to redo the famous inverted Jenny airmail stamp as a regular issue, I would like to see them redo some of the other great earlier airmail stamps..... hint hint USPS
The USPS really doesn't need any more ideas for more stamps. The USPS is printing 130 plus different stamps every year now. The USPS. has ruined modern stamp collecting because of the volume of stamps they put out every year. Plus the fact of the self adhesive stamps.
