Well, there was this asshole in Boulder who approached my partner and I just
to tell us that there shouldn't be a flag on the tail of our glider unless
we'd flown in the nationals.
Dan - I always thought the US flag on the tail was to indicate the pilot or the glider had represented the US internationally (WGC, etc.)???
In rowing, only current or former national team members shoudl row with oars painted with the US "flag" oars.

I never heard that - and I've been flying with a US flag on my LS6 tail since 9/11. If someone doesn't like it - too effing bad!
Last time I checked, didn't have any oarlocks in my cockpit, either...
