***World's Largest USA Flag displayed today...Pictures from Syncro***

My Adventure 9-11-2002 ^ | September 11, 2002 | SYNCRO and DR. ZOO

[Syncro]

KSFO sponsered the unfurling of the largest United States Flag today in Alameda.

There were over a thousand patriots here and it took over a thousand to keep the flag flying for over an hour.After this grate Patriotic Event I ventured over to San Francisco and encountered the communist terrorist supporters.

[Syncro]

But first some pictures of the Flag of the Greatest Country to ever exist:

The opening of the flag...

Over and under the flag.

Here are some of the people holding up the flag from the edges...

[ValerieUSA]

Our Null and Void was there, too.

[Syncro]

Here is a picture from underneath from the Stripes area:

Another picture from the top:

And the flag wasn't heavy, it was our brother...

[WSGilcrest]

Hey! I was there! I met richandfamous and another FReeper, but forgot his handle. It sounded like zerious? zacherious?

Anyhow, here's a link to more pics. (Geocities, sorry about the popups. It was quick and dirty.)

[Texaggie79]

Are there any aerial photos of this?

[Joe Hadenuf]

Great pictures, from great state....Nations largest American flag!

[Syncro]

Oh Grate! Hi Valerie. It was a fantastic event, and I ran into American Preservative there. Sorry to have missed null and void...Maybe it is that name??? LOL

[Joe Hadenuf]

That was my next question.....

[Commie Basher]

NOT!

This flag is bigger.

[Syncro]

There were helicopters there and some planes that flew over, but I don't know if there were any ariel pictures taken.

I do know some of the commercial airliners dipped their wings so the flag could be seen.

WSG, Thanks for the pictures, you seem to have gotten there before I did.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Fantabulous!

[Texaggie79]

Man, what kind of planning is that? They unfurl a huge @$$ flag and no way to picture it all?

[Syncro]

LOL!

[WSGilcrest]

p.s. Second pic on the link, that's my boy with MELANIE!

[Syncro]

Sheeze, some people are never satisfied...I got as high as I could for my pictures...

[MJY1288]

It's been a tough day today, But it's also been a great day for America. For the media to go all day without advertisements and stay focused on those who lost so much on 9/11 and to see the country united. Made this a great day for America

[Slip18]

Syncro, all I can say is "WOW!" Fantastic photos!

[Syncro]

Hay cool Melanie ROCKS!

AP doing her part...I don't know if she is holding it up or hanging from it...

[Bogey78O]

Wow. Imagine the retirement ceremony for that flag.

[Syncro]

My kids weren't with me so I had to settle for my picture with Melanie...

:>)

[abner]

Beautiful!!!!

But can it REALLY fly? It can be unfurled, but can it fly?

Just kidding. ANY American flag is a beautiful sight. What are the measurements on that one?

[Joe Hadenuf]

There were helicopters there and some planes that flew over, but I don't know if there were any ariel pictures taken.

Bet on it.....When you find them, please post them....If you can....

[WSGilcrest]

Well, see, it's like this. We had the world's LARGEST flag! Your link bills itself as the world's HUGEST flag!

[WSGilcrest]

I am humbled!

[Syncro]

Melanie is on a diet and can't have any "cookies" and Officer Vic is 'puter impaired (LOL) so they asked me to ping you so they could see this thread.

Thanks and where the heck were you???????

What a crew, The KSFO dynamick double duo.

And of course the star herself...

[Joe Hadenuf]

It can be unfurled, but can it fly?

Thinking of a mast big enough, hmmm......

OH, I KNOW, DRAPE IT FROM THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE.....

[Syncro]

Dang you are just too quick, I was going to ping you to this, thought you would like it.

I'll look up the exact mesurements but I think it is about 500 ft long.

One of the patriots attending today.

abner we need to get that Balloon out here!

There is an event here in October that would be perfect for you guys to come to and bring the Balloon but you probably are booked up...

[Syncro]

LOL don't be...har

[abner]

I meant like this-

This one is only 79 feet wide x 53 feet tall. It weighs 550 pounds and it REALLY flies!

[Joe Hadenuf]

Yeah, that's nice, but kinda small......

[Joe Hadenuf]

You guys should come here for fleet week...if you can ship the balloon trailer, I can pull it for you with my Limonomonol Phonomozine...which I started out this morning with with the flag at half staff:

[WSGilcrest]

yup

[abner]

Yeah, that's nice, but kinda small......

LOL!

[nutmeg]

That is the COOLEST balloon! BTW, did you get to fly today? As I'm sure you know, it was awfully windy here on the east coast today.

[Dr. Zoo]

Syncro's buzy, I'll look up the dates...for Fleet Week.

[abner]

255' by 505'

That is BIG!

We could just ship the rig.

[Joe Hadenuf]

But a lot of fun I bet....

[American Preservative]

KSFO flag display ping! : )

********************

Grate pictures, Syncro! : ) FRexcellent adventure, too! ; )

[Syncro]

AP, do you know the dates for Fleet Week?

[abner]

Nope. It was way too windy. We did go to the memorial though. We handed out Let's Roll bumper stickers. We will be flying this weekend in Chaddsford. Those flights look much better.

[abner]

But a lot of fun I bet....

It has been incredible! Last night when we flew, we caused a mile long traffic jam in an industrial park. It's like being the Pied Piper!

[Syncro]

This Site talks about it, and it must be after Oct 7 th, but I can't even find the date on goggle. The Fleet Week Thingie...and hay if you do come out for it, I can take care of the accomodations for ya.

[nutmeg]

Wonderful... good luck this weekend!

[American Preservative]

October 7-12 in San Francisco. abner, I thought I had mentioned it a couple of months ago (and to Melanie.) Mediaqueen, can you pass this on, please. My thought was KSFO could sponsor it, and the balloon could be tethered (if need be) over at the Marina Green or Crissy Field. : )
