Default RE: Super Jet South

Danno, I bought Larry a new T28 and fitted it with scale nav lights (during the meeting), it was subtle lighting, 2 wing tip nav lights, 2 wing tip strobes, a tail white light fitted in the bottom of the rudder, and a beacon on top of the fuselage. Then I fitted two landing lights in the leading edge of the wing about 3" from the root. These were controlled by the retract switch. All in all it was well cool. I did not realise even though he flies the KC quite late that he had never done any proper night flying, well after 5 days at SJS he was as you say having way too much fun.

Probably the best flight was when all the lights in the pavilion were turned off and it was "pitch" black. I think I will have one next time too.
