Night time flagging. Light plants, cones, signs, flaggers, the whole bit. Safety is really important, we all want to go home at the end of the job.
These fellows have a beautiful replica of a Civil war era flag (1863 - 1865). There was just enough breeze that day to allow me to get one or two brilliant shots.
From 1861 to 1863 the flag had 34 stars, the latest one representing Kansas. The 35th star added in 1863 represented the new state of West Virginia.

Over the last couple of months I've been photoing folk art flags and a few actual flags. These are mostly from my region spotted as I'm out for other things. I plan to inclue others as I spot them. I thought that Memorial Day was a fitting day to introduce this new collection to Flickr'
Flags-In at Arlington National Cemetery, where The Old Guard honors our country's fallen heroes by placing an American flag at each of the 260,000 headstones.
During one of our football games, the field goal kick was up and away. The wind was so strong, the ball sailed almost into the American flag.
The smaller flag on the bottom was the flag carried in the Bear Flag Revolt in Sonoma in June, 1846. A group of guys showed up at General Vallejo's barracks with this flag, and declared California independent from Mexico. Vallejo liked the idea himself and joined them! CA was annexed by the US shortly thereafter.

Heather and I are very fortunate to travel as much as we do. We rate most of our trips as very good or excellent. Very rarely do we have trips that are busts or not very good. This one was one of them. It seemed like everything went wrong.
Background: the Blue Angels over winter at the Naval Air Facility El Centro in California, close to the Mexican border. They practice their demonstration flights 2-3 times a day. At the end of the winter season, usually in mid-March, the NAF hosts an air show featuring the Blue Angels and other airplanes. We try to make it down to El Centro for the 2-3 days before the air show to catch the Blues up close and personal. We usually fly into Las Vegas or San Diego, rent a car, head to El Centro and then to Nellis AFB outside of Las Vegas to catch Red Flag - a USAF military exercise with a large number of fighters, bombers, and support aircraft. For two airplane geeks, this is like Heaven.
Well, things changed this year. The first one was these events happened during Spring Break, so car rentals were going at about $800-$1,000 a week. That was insane, so we decided to drive. Star to El Centro is about 1,000 miles but we could do it.
Then shortly before our trip, a certain US President decided to start a useless, stupid war in Iran. On top of the obvious fallout, there were side effects. Gas prices really went up. Yuck. Then security issues kicked in. While we driving down to El Centro, the air show was canceled. We didn't hear about this until we arrived there. The Navy decided to skip El Centro and take part in an air show in Yuma. As part of this, they also practiced in Yuma, only taking off and landing at El Centro. So, instead of seeing the Blues do a full practice 6-7 times during our stay, we caught them one time. That sucked, but it was better than nothing, but driving 1,000 miles to see one practice session wasn't a good deal.
We headed to Las Vegas on Sunday and ran into bad news there too. Red Flag was also canceled. We couldn't win on this trip, but we did have a good drive. Better luck next year.
