    So what is it with Americans and their flag?? ua-cam.com/video/YaxGNQE5ZLA/v-deo.html
    Being a proud American has no political affiliation. A true American realizes that ALL politicians are not to be trusted. Seriously READ THE CONSTITUTION!

      Was your Father in the Navy, or did he know someone in the Navy. Flags that large are usually flown on large capital ships like Carriers and Battleships. It would be an "at sea" flag that is flown on the main mast when the ship is underway. When in port the main flag is furled and a smaller flag is flown at the stern and the Union Jack is flow on the bow.

    • @markb.1259
      @markb.1259 3 роки тому +1

      None of the aircraft carriers I served on flew a flag anywhere near 35 feet long. Maybe under ceremonial dress. The only place I've seen flags that huge fly are car dealerships... haha :-)

    • @2020Max1
      @2020Max1 3 роки тому +3

      @@markb.1259 You'd be surprised how big the flags are that they fly on the main mast. They are at least 10 to 15 times as big as a standard flag. I don't know the exact dimensions, but I do know that it took around 35 guys from Deck Dept to furl and fold the flag.
      As an aside note my younger brother had given our father a flag that flew over the Marine base in Kandahar. That flag is easily 20' - 25' long I'll have to ask him about it when we get together on Independence Day.
      Another thing to note is that you can also submit a request to the government for a flag that has been flown over the US capital Those flags are pretty large as well.

    I'm still using my imperial drills, although I do have a metric set, which I haven't used yet. One problem I've encountered is that we can't get 1/8" pop rivets here in Australia now. They are 3.2mm instead. So if I drill a 1/8" hole, the pop rivet won't fit in the hole, so now I have to drill a 9/64" hole instead. This same issue applies to most pop rivet sizes. Looking forward to seeing the new truck finished.
    All the best from Queensland Australia.

      Our government is turning us into a clown show so I’ll fly the flag while it is still legal!

    So you need a wrench to open your tailgate?

      Yes, unless you want a flag pole that is 2ft past the back of the truck or want to build one that pivots. To me, it was unnecessary since I rarely use the tailgate anyway.

      @@vehcor or has a pin. I know you said you didn’t like the wobble so you could also make it as you did but also put a pivot at the bottom of the pole so you could pull a well fitted pin and it would fold out of the way. There are flag poles and hitch bike racks that do exactly that. Still seems crazy to make it so you need a tool to simply open the tailgate.
