More Xenon
It would be nice if multi-million dollar passenger jets have the H.I.Ds that we have in our cars.
If you are a frequent flyer, you probably know that runways and taxi-ways are awfully dark at night because they cannot have lamp posts.
And I don't understand why pilots turn off their headlights and wander in the dark after they have landed the plane.
If you ask, I am sure they have tons of excuses. They live in their own bubbles.
I like to ask them; what is their problem not wanting to taxi the plane towards the gate under a well-lit and highly-vissible condition?
They simply like the darkness I guess. These must be the people who complained when halogen headlights came out and are now complaining (in forums and magazines) about Xenon lights.

There are usually illuminated markers, and the reason they don't illuminate their lights unnecessarily is because they don't want to be blinding other planes, or creating visual noise for teh towers. As long as their indicator lights are on, the tower can see them, and that's apparently the only important thing.
i'm not like an airport guru, or anything just trying to help with what little I do know. .. well actually I have taken flight classes before, never went through with it though haha
