if you rely on color to determine risk of collisions, you may be the

If that is so, why do airplanes still use different colored lights,
instead
of all the same color lights?

inertia?

chuckle That is as good of an answer as any other! g

We got into this a while back, and it seemed to be that there is no FAR
regulating who is to hold course, and who is to change course, when it comes
to intersecting paths in flight. What holds true with colored lights and
right of way in boats is not true for airplanes, so I was told, here.

That seems like it is an omission, to me. It seems like both airplanes
could make a change to avoid each other, and instead, both change course in
the direction that takes you right into each other.
