I fly this flag in all good weather -- over 200 days each year -- out from a porch-mounted pole at 45 degrees. This is now it's third season and its bright colors are just beginning to fade ever so slightly.  I won't mind at all replacing this with another Annin Nyl_Glo flag since this one has given such good and economical service. In rainy weather, I fly another smaller flag that hangs horizontally under the porch roof.

In my mis-spent youth, I was once driving along the perimeter of a stateside military base.  This was an isolated area --- far from any crowds, buildings, or any other cars.  Far in the distance, I spotted a soldier jogging along all by himself.  It was quite late in the day but still quite hot and I had my car windows down... and I could hear a distant bugle calling retreat as some unseen flag was lowered. That jogger stopped his run and stood at attention smartly saluting that unseen flag being lowered off in the distance.

Fifty years later... I think of that particular soldier each time I display a flag in front of my home. Being a veteran helps one to see the flag in a special way.

UPDATE:  Three years after my initial review... and with some additional fading of the original blue background, I actually got around to ordering another Model 2460 Annin flag this week. It will be arriving just in time for observing Memorial Day... and then for celebrating July 4th.  For many years mine was the only flag flying on the block, but just recently two other neighbors joined in---this is very nice!
