Fun with Flags

I usually try to find the cheapest flights possible when I travel and when it's international travel, that often means I'll have a few lengthy layovers.  While that adds more time and inconvenience, it can sometimes add an extra adventure opportunity.  If the layover is long enough, I can sometimes leave the airport to get a brief cultural experience and maybe taste a bit of the local food.  It all depends on what the visa requirements might be, time of day and availability of public transportation.

I'll have a layover in Panama City, Panama on my way to Chili and a layover in Batoga, Columbia on my way home.  I haven't yet looked into the possibility of being able to leave either of these airports to explore those cities.  Will I need a special visa to leave the airport?  Will I be able to easily take a bus or train from the airport into the city?  I'll find out.  In the meantime, I think it might be fun for you to look up the flags of Panama, Columbia, and Chili.  As Texans, I think you will find one of them very interesting.  To earn more house points tell me which one looks very familiar to you and why.
