Yes, that particular glider had won the World Championships in 1985. I was
not the pilot, however, but I didn't see the need to peel off the flag.

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.
