C-5 vs. 380

The C-5 Galaxy has retractable wing tip landing lights that can be adjusted to any angle. When positioned to 45 degrees it can point to the taxiway parallel to the pilots/co-pilots positions and illuminate possible clearance issues. If an object is in the spotlight... it's a possible threat.
