Apart from flying flies, wasps and mosquitoes (which I never have seen on stamps so far), the flying 'objects' I see around my home on a regular base are birds and airplanes (and leaves and maple seeds in autumn).
Dutch PostNL has started to issue a serie of four beautiful bird photo stamp sheets this year.
