737 ingests American flag and pole at Ocala, FL OCF
The original better quality video stops just short of ingestion.The second video shows the flag and pole going in just before it ends. This was an Honor Flight returning home from a day at Washington, DC. Pilot sticks flag and pole out of cockpit window, then drops it on the tarmac. Instead of stopping, they move forward and suck the flag and pole up off of the ground. (youtu.be) 기타...

Hahaha what an idiot!
It's very difficult to spot this in the video.
I was lucky to get the video at all but happy to share what I have. My friend shot the first part of the video but was so overwhelmed by the flag hitting the ground that he stopped shooting just before it was sucked in the engine. His daughter was nearby and took the second video of lesser quality but she did get it being ingested a second before her view was obscured by the pole.
What's he doing dropping the flag on the tarmac anyhow? Any 8 year old Cub Scout knows it's disrespectful to let the flag touch the ground. I hope it was an accident.
