Hrm that means the flag is probably going to touch the ground though when he lands. :( Nobody cares about the rules of the flag anymore.

I've always wondered how they handled that but I've never been close enough to watch the landing (they do this every day of AirVenture, every year). While the flag shouldn't touch the ground, and likely doesn't get folded 'properly' for deployment, it does make an impressive image (in my opinion) that perhaps outweighs the indignant act of touching down. Personally, I find this far less offensive than athletes at the Olympics (or anywhere) using the flag as a cape or robe.

Follow-up re: the flag touching the ground: Watch from about 4:30 in this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nO8SJH3XuCo Look at the swarm of people they have to minimize the contact with the ground. Clearly they have good intentions and respect for the flag.
