I live near a major airport and see commercial planes with huge front headlights shining in the night sky. What could they be good for way up in the sky, though? I get that when they are taking off/landing headlights are necessary. Why not give them lights like a boat, with a green in front and a red in back?
Lol, precisely why it’s there.
“Well, at [airline] we [do it a different way]…”
“Well akshully [airplane] has [lights someplace else]…”
The old joke is:
“How do you find out who the pilot is at the party?”
“You don’t have to, he’ll tell you.”
Hmm like vegans
But airplanes are interesting.
