    I love that this is an American jet but they still have a flag of Puerto Rico as if it’s a separate country.

    Nice bit of irony there.

        At least they’re consistent.

        But I’d say they should probably all be independent too.

          Hawaii maybe (but even then they currently benefit more than they suffer from being a state), but certainly not Alaska. They can’t even sustain themselves without help from the federal government.

            I doubt the natives think the same.

            but certainly not Alaska. They can’t even sustain themselves without help from the federal government.

            Probably because its run as an extractive economy.
