The NAVA 16 Flag:
The flag for NAVA 16 was designed by Alfred Znamierowski of the Flag Design Center in New Jersey. The design utilizes the colors of Pittsburgh's city flag, black and yellow, and shows an isosceles triangle in yellow with its base the entire width of the hoist and its apex in the exact center of the fly. The remainder of the field is black, as is the unique star-design of sixteen stars placed nearly equidistant between the hoist and the flag's center. The artist-designer says that the arrangement of the 16 stars denotes a meeting of close friends in this, the 16th meeting. The yellow triangle further symbolizes Pittsburgh's famous Golden Triangle, the downtown site where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers join to form the Ohio.
