The flag image is incorrect. The blue background and stars should always be in the upper left, whether displayed vertically or horizontally.

No, the flag always flies as if charging into battle.

The flag is correct for that side of the plane.
Since the “flag pole” is at the stars, and the American flag never retreats, it is correct.
This is the same as our service men and women wear on their uniforms.

Can he be impeached for this?

Incorrect. The stars are in the upper right IF the flag image is on the right side of the object. Our military uses the same flag on the right shoulder.

It gives the impression of always moving forward.

If you are going to criticize, it is advised that you check your statements before you commit it to a post.

Being wrong leaves a red wine stain on your new white shirt.

Except on uniforms sleeves?

Oopsie. Someone forgot to tell the painters of the existing AF1. ;)

Port side flag is not shown but no doubt has field upper left or forward side so appears “correct” as viewed...

Starboard flag faces forward as a “charging flag”, and is correctly displayed...

I wore a right sleeve charging flag on my turnout coat for many years...All our rigs had them on right side as well...

Not necessarily on a uniform.

The U.S. Department of Defense has declared this patch must be “worn, right or left shoulder, so the star field faces forward, or to the flag’s own right.”
