The Twister's wing lights are high-intensity LED's with a clear resin molded right around them. Very neat idea, which a resourceful homebuilder should be able to duplicate.

This Junkers Ju-52 Trimotor, aka the "Iron Annie", was the German counterpart to the C-47 during WW2. Today these are quite uncommon.
|

|
|
|

The Ju-52 was a real workhorse of the German wartime military machine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Back in the late 1970s, Martin Caidin used to do a routine with a Ju-52 where he would stand outside the cockpit while the autopilot flew the airplane down the runway at low level. You sure couldn't get away with doing that today!
