The last thingI need flying late at night happens to be my aircraft lighting. I prefer to land, takeoff, taxi, and climb out enroute without any lights. I leave the NAV lights on (Red and Green), but all strobes, landing lights are "To be seen by others", there is no reason to turn them on besides others seeing you.
Observers are being played with.
Just cough on whatever crawls out of one.
Common cold kills em.
