Paul McCowan (shown here with his wife) is a former US Army Green Beret with the 10th Special Forces Group. Paul performs a spectacular parachute jump during which he glides from high above to the ground below with the Stars and Stripes trailing behind — all 5,000 square feet of it! [Watch the video below.] |
| Paul has performed his flag jump almost 50 times since its inception in 2006. His awe inspiring performance at air shows and national outdoor events draws large crowds and evokes much praise and critical acclaim. This visual display of our flag waving high in the sky communicates the beauty and majesty of the American flag to many thousands each time the jump is performed. |
