Bright Flashing Red

The red flashing lights are turned on just before engines start and turned off after engines are shut down (walking near an operating jet engine or turboprop is more dangerous than juggling chain saws: when ground personnel see those red lights flashing, they know the engines are running and the area is unsafe; white wingtip strobes are typically turned on near the runway because they are a distraction to other pilots on the ground); as for the red optical edging effects in the airplane window, let me here mention the significant visual phenomenon of polarization, which describes the tendency of light waves to oscillate in a certain direction

 

To all who visit and view, and – especially – express support and satisfaction: you are much appreciated!
