Among the aircraft on display was a jet trainer, couldn't
tell you the type. Seems like the thing had lights everywhere, including
both red and green nav. lights on each wingtip? What is the purpose of
this?


Haven't been there, but the web site indicates they have the T-2C Buckeye.
It has just been retired from intermediate strike training.

Thanks, John. I seemed to have gotten a consistent answer on the first
question (angle-of-attack lights) but the red and green nav light on each
wing still has me puzzled.


IIRC, the tip tank light assemblies were "universal" or interchangeable on the
Taco 2 Chalupa. Put it on the other side, and hook up the light you need.
