I have been mildly (madly) obsessed with airmail stickers lately. I very nearly bid on some George V silver jubilee ones on eBay but managed to stop myself as that would've been a bit too ridiculous (even for me). I collected a bunch of vintage airmail sticker images and made my own retro ones.
I think most of these are American, the bottom ones were in use in Britain at the time of George V's silver jubilee (1935), the same ones were in the lot I was going to bid (waste money) on.
After making those I wanted to make some myself and I went kinda nuts with them.

As you can see I haven't limited my mail to aeroplane travel, oh no, we got Zeppelins, hot air balloons, a bat (hey, I am what I am). I love the chubby little jet plane. Anyways, they are available to download in the usual way (click on the downloadables link in the sidebar, click on the image you want and be whisked away to the download page), they are in jpeg format so easy to get at.
To make them into stickers (if, like me, you don't have sticker paper) just print them out, coat the back with remoistenable adhesive (envelope glue or lick and stick as I prefer to call it). When it's dry, just cut them out and when you need one just lick it and stick it. I would use them in conjunction with the usual (boring) airmail sticker that the post office provides just in case they are party poopers.
Usual rules apply, you can use them in your crafts, stick them on your mail whatever just don't print them out and sell them, that would be rude.
Enjoy your day
