posted Nov 19th, 2012 - The next major event, the Mondial 2012 in Dubai, is just around the corner, and it is time to pay attention to a significant part of the game plan.

The Fun Flag was sighted last time at the World Challenge 2012 where the NSL News followed the whereabouts and howabouts of the Fun Flag at Bodyflight Bedford.

The story on 20 July 2012 provided the latest update with additional photos of the last sighting in Bedford.

Then it became quiet for a while before members of the British delegation at the World Cup 2012 mentioned their goal to chase down the Fun Flag in Prostejov.

The Fun Flag never had a showing at the World Cup, even though it could have been in the United Kingdom after the World Challenge 2012.

There is also the possibility that the Fun Flag could have made its way across the Atlantic Ocean since Perris Wicked had joined forces with Bodyflight Aerodyne Langar for the late night activities in April in Bedford.

This would explain why the Fun Flag had no showing at the World Cup 2012, which was a bad memory of the event.

The Perris Wicked members could have forwarded the Fun Flag to the Golden Knights delegation at the World Cup 2012, which would have fixed the sorry situation of a major event without the Fun Flag. It did not happen.

It seems like the Fun Flag did not stay in the United Kingdom after the World Challenge 2012, as Arizona Airspeed now provided evidence that it is in US possession.

There is no information how the Fun Flag made it from Bedford to Eloy.

The photo shows the Airspeed members with the Fun Flag in front of the SkyVenture Arizona windtunnel last week. However, there is something that doesn't seem to be right after taking a closer look at the photo. The NSL News is looking for help to identify any infringements and for information how the Fun Flag ended up in the Airspeed headquarters.

It is a risky move by Airspeed to bring the Fun Flag back to greater attention, as the team has to focus on the upcoming 4way showdown in Dubai. It could be a tactical move though. The Airspeed members know how important the Fun Flag has been for NMP-PCH Hayabusa and the French delegation, as previous battles for possession have shown. The sudden appearance, the timing and the perspective of a new battle in Dubai could be an attempt fo distract the opponents from Belgium and France. Time will tell very soon...
