The Royal Australian Air Force in partnership with Australia Post has launched a new commemorative stamp collection on Friday 18th February at RAAF Base Amberley, QLD.

The collection celebrates Air Force Aviation, with recognition of the recent retirement of the F-111s. Other stamps in the collection feature the Super Hornet, Wedgetail and Globemaster.

It is a fitting tribute to the Royal Australian Air Force, which will celebrate its 90th Birthday on 31 March 2011. Activities during 2011 will focus on remembering the past, and looking to the future with the theme tradition, innovation, and evolution.
