Remember that, when stamping with an image of an aircraft, you don't necessarily have to stamp with any particular orientation!  You can tilt the stamp one way so the plane looks like it's climbing, or the other way so it looks like it's diving.  You can make it fly upside-down if you wish.  Some fixed-gear aircraft look like they're flying when stamped level, but look like they're sitting on the tarmac when stamped slightly nose-up.  You can stamp a whole squadron of planes flying in formation if you want to take up space in your log book!
