a 6.24×4.16-meter five-star red flag hung below the pilot ec155 police helicopter, fluttering in the wind. two ec-135 police helicopters were escorting on the left and right behind it, and the entire fleet was in the shape of a "pin". at 10 o'clock in the morning, the fleet flew over the bund bell tower on time, attracting many citizens and tourists to wave.
police helicopters began flying flags on national day in 2009. since then, on every national day, chinese people's police day and other festivals, police helicopters will appear over the huangpu river in a special way of flying flags when weather conditions permit. in 2021, the first chinese people's police day, the 100th anniversary of the founding of the party and the national day, police helicopters flew flag patrols three times, becoming a unique and beautiful scenery over shanghai.
the national flag hung under the police helicopter is customized, and the seams and edges are specially reinforced to ensure the integrity of the flag during flight. the counterweights suspended below the helicopter are also precisely calculated and continuously tested. the current total counterweight is 180 kg, including two 60 kg cast iron balls and a 60 kg iron chain. this combination, coupled with a fixed flight speed, can keep the national flag directly below the helicopter for the most perfect posture displayed in the air. this year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the people's republic of china, and the police specially painted the word "75" on the weighted iron ball. reporter xie min and special correspondent li hui
