The commercial airline history of the Federated States of Micronesia is an interesting one. These stamps show the prominent aircraft operated in the Trust Territory. From 1951 to 1960, Transocean Airlines operated four Consolidated PBY-5-A amphibians. From 1960 to 1967, Pan American Airlines operated two Grumman SA-16 Albatross amphibians. From 1968 to 2010, Air Micronesia (Air Mike), a subsidiary of Continental Airlines began utilizing Boeing 727-100 aircraft until they were pulled from service some years later. 1st Picture: Scott C1-C3 AP1 2nd Picture: Scott C44 AP5 3rd Picture: Air Mike route map in blue with red connections    |

Scott #57 I'm a big fan of any material from CAPEX International Philatelic Exhibitions around the world and the Federated States of Micronesia did participate in 1987.  |

As an airline enthusiast, I would be remiss if I did not include these two stamps from the Republic of Palau. Both tie into the commercial airline service within the Micronesia subregion of Oceania. The bottom stamp shows a Pan American DC-4 during the airline's last year (1967) of service in Micronesia. The top stamp shows the beginning of Air Micronesia service with a DC-6B in 1968. Air Mike utilized this aircraft for five years before taken offline. Scott: C13 & C11 A16  |
