Wow, apparently i don't read well or pay attention, had no idea you were a A-37 pilot Gums, always read about your experience in the A-7 and early F-16's. Always been a fan of the Super Tweet, dunno why, i think its a looks thing. I remember when I was young downloading a mod of a A-37 for my Janes combat sim and doing some of the Vietnam missions in it. :salute:

Looks as though the PLAN follow USN conventions regarding external approach lights which I will guess similarly mimic the internal indexer or equivalent. Photo from: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5B_QXZoC_aA/U ... ational+(2).jpg

They slavishly copy everything else, so I'm not surprised. Probably have all the files and specs for the lights as well.
