That had to be a scary experience! :oops: You can never tell who's going to be coming up on a service road. It is scary to be out in the dark on a bike without lighting even on the streets. If it wasn't too far, I would probably tend to walk the bike home rather than risk riding it!
In here, when it's dark, we use head lights on the bicycle as mandated by law. Makes riding a bike quite easy at night and best part is that everyone can see you far away. :D

Does your area have any requirements for the rear? Here they require a white headlight in front that is visible for at least 500 ft. and at least a red reflector in the rear. But a taillight can be used in addition to the reflector in the rear that is visible for at least 500 ft. I'm going to use the white reflector tape in the front and red in the rear for more visibility.

Except the black sheep, VMF214, flew the above pictured F4U Corsair.

This is an F6F Hellcat.
Absolutely correct - they do have some similarities and even share the same power plant.

the more" bent" folding wing of the corsair always looked mean to me. I think my favorite of the ww2 era is the lighting or the mustang. If i was filthy rich instead of dirty broke id get me a mustang replica and a ppl so i could buzz around lol.

In my opinion, the Mustang is the prettiest bird.

White light in front, red reflector at back and at least earlier you were supposed to have orange reflectors on the wheels. Earlier we had dynamos for the light so you had maintenance free setup, but now everyone is driving around in darkness with empty batteries.

Hey! They still sell those...
