Well-Travelled Flag Has Even Flown With Sean D Tucker...
On Saturday, November 21, the Commemorative Air Force L-26B, Ike’s Bird, flew with a special flag on board. The Star-Spangled Ambassador flag has literally been around the world several times, flown above all seven continents and over 51 countries. This one flag has flown over the U.S. Capital, Normandy, Iwo Jima, USS Arizona, the Pentagon, and several other historic places. It’s flown with the USAF Thunderbirds and U.S. Navy Blue Angels, and to the depths of the ocean aboard a Trident sub. At one point a seam on the flag ripped while careening through the “Tucker-Upper” while flying with aerobatic pilot Sean D. Tucker.
