How do they lower that flag> Do they have to go all of the way to the top of it to lower it? Or can they lower it from the bottem somhow?
they probally have a motor up there that can raise and lower the flag.

Steps to lower the flag on Sky Trek Tower.
1. Get in Cabin 2. Ride cabin to 280 foot level. 3. Stop cabin rotation 4. Open interior cabin door 5. Climb ladder from cabin into tower below motor deck. 6. Climb stairs to motor deck 7. Climb ladder to roof hatch 8. Open roof hatch door, go onto roof. 9. Untie rope holding flag 10. Lower flag to half staff. 11. Retie flag 12. Repeat to get down. There not so bad....

^Ya it is not so bad, but it would be easier is they had some motor at the bottom of the tower.

310 feet at the top of the flagpole, highest the cabin goes is 280 feet.
