I have no idea whether 737s have rotating beacons, thought it looked neat though.

>Do 737s have rotating beacons?The 737s I

That is a sweet effect! As far as I know the -100 and -200 have rotating beacons and maybe the -300. After that I don't think any other 737s have them.John/AFG

Paul!The 737NGs don't use beacons, they use strobes. I think rotating becons are a bit out of fashion in most modern construction because they entail lotsa moving parts that you don't get with a strobe....Only part of the strobe that moves is the light beam....and that is cheap!

All planes must have beacons and strobes...John/AFG

No not really, only a/c after a certain date I belive is like 92 or something must have a red becon light. Older a/c like pipers only have white strobes and no beacons on some. Also a Red strobe will be called a beacon and works fine. When they say beacon it is now loosley meant as a red light and strobe as white even though both in reality will be strobes. Hope that helps. Great job on the Southwest and new a/c. Love the winglets. Anyone know how long until they have some in [email protected]

I like how you state that with such authority John, it's to bad you did not bring your facts along to support your firm statement.[h5]Best Wishes,Randy J.

Nothing beats the double rotating red becons of the L1011. Those were neat to see on the ramp.
