I saw this photo of a lovely old DC10
Photos: McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30 Aircraft Pictures | Airliners.net and before I read where it was, I had recognised it as Paris Orly, due to the heavily upholstered lighting rigs atop the gantries around the apron. It then occurred to me that, in general, at airports these days and perhaps years such a need for brightly lit aprons is missing. I realise that bulb technology has greatly improved, making lighting rigs smaller, but somehow it seems to have escaped my attention.
