"As I recall, on our fleet anyway, you could turn the strobes on turning a switch on the right hand side of the glareshield (it is possible I remember wrong, it's been a couple of years since I've been inside an MD)."
No you can't Nelli. (Well,not on our MD's anyway) Strobes on the MD only work in the air,even with the switch on.
