I just had reflectors on a stick at my airport along one side of the runway. The landing lights would pick them up easily.In the mean time I've been drafted into a "let's have lights on the runway at ID 5" since we have lots of runway but no light. No telling what that will entail but I'm moving my tractor and backhoe down there tomorrow.

Something like this.
The only trouble with them was the local juvenile dinklinks kept stealing them.
DGA,
I see your point...maybe a little slip would help.
I used to do some instruction at Tipton Army Air Field on Ft Meade, MD and I made students land without a landing light so they could get the experience in case their landing light burned out or didn't work. If it wasn't too dark they didn't even need the runway lights and could land with just the street and parking lot lights for references. If you're familiar with the field it's surprising how well a person can set up downwind to final and use a flat approach and maybe 300 fpm decent and almost grease it on. I wouldn't suggest it into a 1200' strip with trees on each end.
If you don't look at any light for about 20 minutes while flying you will be amazed at how well you can see once your eyes adjust. I don't have any interior or landing light and have made quite a few 2 hr after sunset landings at my strip. You be quiet Douten.

That’s cheating, someone on the runway with a flash light

Anyone out there use a similar water heater in a small trailer...inside or outside??
I have one for my small vintage airstream trailer. It hangs on the outside after I arrive at a campsite. I have quick disconnect hoses for cold and hot water as well as for the propane. It takes 5 minutes to hang and connect. Unlimited hot water if connected to a water source or if not, until the water tank runs out. I have seen a model for use inside but do not recall the brand. Built a small custom click on cover out of aluminum to keep the rain off it.
So, no one ever use a VW engine in an aeroplane??
