Lots of movement! Made me think of Monkey Boy

A little wind makes a flag puzzle SO much better!

I swore i would never do another US flag puzzle, but I'm glad I went ahead and tried this one! Nice image!

Initial line & color logic gets to 82% with only red remaining.

R12: If the red 1 is in C21 or C22, it causes a contradiction in R14, so it must be in R12C20. LL.
R16: If the red 1 in is in C21 or C22, it causes a contradiction in R18, so it must be in R16C20. LL.
R18: If the 3 is placed in C7-9 it causes a contradiction in R20, so R18C7 is white.

LL to finish.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by wombatilim.
