Flag adopted 1957
The National Association of Rocketry (NAR) is the governing
body for the sport/hobby of model rocketry
in the United States. It was established in 1957 by Orville Carlisle
and G. Harry Stine.
The NAR flag is used at various launch venues, as both an advertisement
and as a useful wind direction indicator for the Range Safety
Officer. Some NAR Sections in the United States have their own
distinct flags which they use in place of - or in tandem with - the NAR
flag.
Some NAR sections do not have a distinctive flag and - if using a flag
as a wind indicator - either use the United States Flag, or the 'B'
Signal Flag (the latter being an internationally recognized symbol of a
live firing range).
