Well, for one thing, many light airplanes were built before turn indicators were adopted For another, it's easier to see the airplane turning than it is to see a turn indicator.

This is possibly the stupidest debate about the stupidest topic on the usenet. LOL. Which is, in itself, pretty impressive. But just wait...Eagleson hasn't weighed in yet on the 'Eagleson Turn Signal System': "Wings going downitudinous towards the extreme turning make the signaling/turning ratio of lightedness bright so he can see!"

This is possibly the stupidest debate about the stupidest topic on the usenet. Say, why don't airplanes have horns to honk? If you see an airplane with its blinkers flashing a left turn, and he's going right into your lane, you can't honk to get him out of the way. Now is that dumb or what?

Who can hear a honk over the engine noise? Flares...we need flares. We can fire a few across the bow of anyone about to turn into our lane. And then if they continue, we fire a little closer. - Andrew |
