On the US Military combat uniforms, where the flag is put on the sleeve of the uniform, the flag patch is displayed with the stars facing forward, in the direction the wearer is facing. This is done to give the impression of the flag flowing in the wind while being carried forward across the battlefield. This is known as the "Reverse Field Flag."

The same convention is true on liverys for aircraft

Aha, interesting. I stand corrected. It's backwards because it's not backward, so backwards remains the same.
