Call me crazy... but is the word BOEING coded into the strobes/beacon?

 

Best regards,

Yes indeed... Crazy ;)

:lol:

 

I just happened to be in external view, and the pattern of strobes/beacon hit the end of 'O', 'E' 'I' and 'N', and it looked like the sequence continued to the 'G'. If you write that out in morse:

 

O = - - - . .

E = .

I = . .

N = - .

 

The reason I got to wondering is because the strobes ALWAYS displayed, whilst the red beacon did not. If the red beacon plus strobes equalled a dot, and strobes only equalled a dash, then you can see where I got the idea from. :lol: 

 

In that case then, the red beacon is failing to draw regularly.

 

Best regards,

Robin.

Airbus strobes is different, what do they say? :-)

I don't have an Airbus to look at.

 

IRL - nothing. 2 strobes to 1 beacon.

 

Best regards,

Robin.
