On January 5th, the $4.05 X-Plane imprinted Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelope variety was issued from Washington, D.C. with no ceremony --- did anyone get some cancelled for the first day?

Boy, the USPS sneaked that one out! The press release at Christmas time didn't specify an issue date. I never heard a word about it after that until this post, so nope, no covers from this DC'er.Any news on when the $14.45 Express Mail X-plane stamp is coming out? |

Yes, agreed, not until March 8 from what I understand as well. My company may be providing some FDI material as we did for all similar high-value space stamps in the past decades. But there appears not to be much astrophilately interest from our people, overall, mainly because of the high Express Mail value rates required. |

Find it interesting that the imprinted envelope had a different issue date than the two stamps. |

The Feb. 6 Linn's reports that this envelope was issued on Jan. 5 out of Kansas City, not Washington. Linn's is also looking for any reports of early-use dates for the envelope. If you have one, you can send the report to Jay Bigalke, X-Planes, Linn's Stamp News, Box 29, Sidney, Ohio 45365. And post it here too!  |

You may recall that in 1997 the USPS issued a stamp for the "50th Anniversary of Supersonic Flight" featuring the Bell X-1. This would be an appropriate addition to combination first day covers. The stamp is shown here. Which other stamps would be appropriate for combination covers? |
