It would be very tempting to start calling you names for hinting that I cant see an aircraft at 20 yards without the strobe lights running in good day light.
I can only guess that you are one of these people who swans about in one of those dayglo jackets on sunny days and trys to blame everyone else when some thing goes wrong and suports the nanny state.
The most powerful safety tool that I have is common sence and that tells me that tells me that strobes like the transponder should be put on as you enter the runway , they should NOT be used to blind other pilots.
Just try holding next to some idiot at night who has the things running.
It is nice to see that FFF also uses common sence as a safety tool and not blind obediance to "check lists" (or is it a "do list" that most of you are using ?).
