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 . 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 .

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 . Please feel free to check out my other videos from the Gathering of Mustangs & Legends on my website - .

Like what you've seen? Well, if you are interested in purchasing DVDs of specific aircraft and/or of airshows, interested in anything and everything related to airshows (where the jet teams will show up, all airshow performers, airshow reports from airshows I have attended, previews of airshows I will be attending, etc.), a much more easier to navigate "version" of all of my videos, and/or everything there is related to aviation - including spotting guides to my favorite airports and military bases and aircraft factfiles, please take time to check out Steve's Airshow World at .

America is the land of the FREE! And the HOME of THE BRAVE! If it wasn't for us in WW2, Europeans from England, France, Poland, etc. would be speaking German, flying the Nazi flag, and eating Bratwurst for lunch! everyday...

Is America the only country in the world were the people are free?

WOW! Considering how so many factors could have made this go horribly wrong it's just spectacular! The ultimate in protection from our wonderful flag. Just love it.
