Opening Ceremonies Flag Jump

The Gathering of Mustangs & Legends
"The Final Roundup"
Rickenbacker International Airport
Columbus, Ohio
Friday September 28, 2007

IN THIS VIDEO, watch as one jumper exits from the Cessna 182 jump aircraft and deploys the American flag while the national anthem is played. The jumper is being circled by the four PT-17 Stearmans of the Red Baron Squadron, and as he makes his decent upon Rickenbacker International Airport, a flight of three P-51 Mustangs makes a pass down the show line (behind the flag) to help open up the Friday show. The jumper featured in the video is Paul McCowan, the founder of the E Team Skydivers, based in Ohio. His site is at http://www.eteamskydivers.com . Please direct all e-mails regarding any performances to Paul and make sure to tell him I sent you.

Paul McCowan also performed the opening ceremonies flag jump at the 2008 Joint Services Open House at Andrews AFB. You can view that jump at http://youtube.com/watch?v=2RDmLYRgB3k .

This video, along with all other videos I have posted from the Gathering of Mustangs & Legends, is not available for purchase on DVD, but a DVD will be available of the show at http://www.gml2007.com . Please feel free to check out my other videos from the Gathering of Mustangs & Legends on my website - http://www.stevesairshow.com .

  • Thank you for such ...

    Thank you for such a heart warming and moving video. I love my country, its flag, its national anthem and ALL that they stand for. Thank God for this free country. With God's help we will remain FREE!!! I was disappointed that the flag came down during this video and laid on the ground. Maybe next time that particullar problem will have been remedied. Thank you.

    America is going to the pots because of liberals. Is having an open mind just for fools.
    God Bless America! Have we forgotten what this truly means?!
    May God Bless America through our Lord and Saviour in Christ Jesus, alone.

  • I have to agree ...

    I have to agree with you about the flag not touching the ground. That is what I was taught and what I taught children for 30 years when I was a public school teacher and the wife of a retired soldier. The honor was beautiful, but I cringed when I saw the Stars and Stripes touch the ground. You would have thought that they had a contingency plan for the descent of the flag. Anyway, it was beautiful and I loved the P-51s.

    pretty neat display. but claiming that liberalism is diametrically opposed to patriotism smacks of woeful ignorance. to further claim that blind obedience is a manly virtue is borderline insanity
