The project is part of one to place such installations around the state, and will follow existing flagpoles of 62 and 100 feet in other countries. 139 feet- about 14 stories- is as high as federal aviation authorities will allow.
The Star-Spangled Banner, housed in the Smithsonian, was thirty by forty-two feet when originally made.
As of last year, the largest flag in the world was a State of Israel flag commissioned by a Philippines evangelical Christian and displayed on the ground at Masada, and was 660 meters (2,165 feet) long, 100 meters (330 feet) wide and weighed 5.2 metric tons.
