double fake: I don't know anything about the "metal or not thing".
But for sure, the US flag had only 50stars until 1956.
If I as a German know that, you should know it too
why in the world should anybody from the 7 billions humans on earth be interested, what flag the 133 M Americans had?
Most ancient cultures (or forms of states if you look at the US as uncultered) had their peak after 250 years.
So what,
Yes. All planes registered with the FAA must have a "tail number."
However, despite the name, the number does not have to be displayed directly on the tail. On this plane (and others just like it) the number is displayed at the rear of the plane under the passenger windows. Due to the angle, the wing in the image is blocking it.
There are several aircraft like this one, and they are all former civilian planes that were re-purposed for the U.S. Air Force, and are used by the D.O.D. to transport officials of various government agencies.
They have minimalistic markings to help stay low-profile while in countries with factions that might have a less-than-favorable opinion of the U.S.
