National flag on the tail fin position
As I noticed that every commercial airliners (US Airforce One as well), the national flag on the tail fin position are opposite from left/right ( right side is wrong).
Any ICAO or other aviation rules to regular this practice?
Thanks,

Thanks for your reply,
Not only US airliners..
1. Different view on L/R side:
QF, Malaysia Airlines, CA, PR AF ( color on different side) and more...
2. Same view on L/R:
LH, BA,CP and othe national carriers with the same image on each side.

If you stand and look at a flag flying on a pole it is one way round, go to the other side of the pole and it is reversed!
It's all about about being aestheticlly(?) pleasing and so long as nothing offesnive or inaccurate is written they can put more or less anything on the side of a plane in most parts of the world!
Thinking about it, why don't they then write the letters inversed and in reverse on one side of the a/c?

I think it's nice to see a national flag on an aeroplane. It shows a bit of pride. It also helps me work out where some of these airlines come from (the more obscure ones) because I'm useless with foreign registrations!
A matter of opinion I know, but I can't stand some of the flying billboard/advertising colour schemes. I also can't stand web addresses in huge writing on a plane... Very cheap!
