Is it possible to turn on the headlights a plane for night flight ??

Hi Brundu841,

IIRC there was a Dambusters project under development. The Lancaster bomber used crossed searchlights to achieve the correct altitude.

If that project was successful, the same light effects could be used for headlights? Many ETO aircraft already have "running lights", of course.

here is a thread about Pat Pattle's project, and the name of the mission:

I think he is referring to regular aircraft landing lights?? That's how I understood it anyway.
