The Fun Flag was probably infected by the corona virus crisis, as well, since there has been only silence since the previous appearance at the FAI Outdoor World Cup 2019. However, she seems to have recovered well, as the current hunt of the Fun Flag at Skydive Arizona generated evidence with photos of her in French possession, as the NSL News reported on October 20th.
It is surely not the first time that the Fun... (more)
