DC-8 Lights question
Hi all
First of all I'd like to introduce myself as this is my first post on PPRuNe.
My name is Jessy, I live in Belgium and love avaition since my first ever flight from Brussels to Tenerife on a B734 of Virgin Express. In 2004 I started for the first time with flight simulation with FS2004. Now in 2011 I'm a hardcore simmer, building my own hybrid cockpit and love flying oldies, the DC-8 is my favourite, hence my username Jess-8. I have had the great oppurtunity to see the DC-8 still flying about 2 years ago at Ostend Airport with Meridian Airways Ltd. This aircraft fascinates my in every way and the DC-8-63(C)F is the one which I prefer, old style howling JT3D-7 engines, sometimes a mix of 2 JT3D-7 outboard and 2 JT3D-3B inboard.
But was has been bugging me is the following. The strobe lights, are they automatically switched on together with the navigation lights or do they have a different switch because so far I was not able to identify any on pictures neither can I find any info on the net about the issue ...
I hope someone can help me and clear this out.
Thank you in advance
Jess
