First, you can buy an "aircraft set" of flags, one going each way, so that the flag "blows in the breeze" on the aircraft in flight. Second, in the USA we normally do not use the dash (the real term escapes me) as most/all other countries do. However, I read someplace (and I wish I could remember where) that it is perfectly legal to use in US registrations, although not required. IIRC, you can also apply for the old C, X, R, L reggies but they don't carry the same connotations that they once did (i.e: Certified/Commercial, Experiemental, Restricted, Limited category certification). I was researching info for my dad for his 1/5 scale Stinson 108-2. Now I have to go sit airport reserve because it is cloudy today (don't you love crew scheduling's paranoia?) and MIGHT rain later.
