It is based on the arrangement of the staffs, not the direction the flag is actually being blown.sjfcontrol wrote:Wouldn't that change with the direction of the wind? So if the wind changes, you have to reverse the flag locations?fickman wrote:hahaha. I thought about that when I posted them.3dfxMM wrote:It's on the left. :)
The rule is "the flag's own right". . . so I guess it depends on which way the flag is looking.

Re: Flying a Ripped and Torn American and Texas Flag
This is a myth I first heard from a boat pilot in San Antonio. The USC states:JP171 wrote:the Texas flag is allowed to be flown at the same height as the US flag, but on a single pole it should be flown under but it is not required to be. btw this is the ONLY flag in the US that is allowed to fly in this manner
Any other flag may be flown at the same height as the US flag, as long as the US flag is on its right, which is considered a higher position for equal-height flags.4 USC §7 wrote:(f) When flags of States, cities, or localities, or pennants of societies are flown on the same halyard with the flag of the United States, the latter should always be at the peak. When the flags are flown from adjacent staffs, the flag of the United States should be hoisted first and lowered last. No such flag or pennant may be placed above the flag of the United States or to the United States flag's right.
