| Additional information |
Finland hosted the inaugural FAI World Air Games in 1997, a multi-discipline aviation competition held primarily at Jyväskylä and involving events ranging from aerobatics to paragliding. The Games were conceived by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale as an Olympic-style format for air sports — the 1997 edition was the first time the event ran at all, making this a genuine inaugural-issue commemorative rather than a routine series entry.
