Just thought of something.........you may have already done this but here goes. Not only are the strobes and landing lights on the Co-pilots side but above the pilot on the overhead console there a set of light switches near the top. To maintain proper light disipline, the pilot needs to set the switches to white light. I normally activate all the switches and it seems to work for me. Last time I saw the real C130 formation lights was in Iraq and those guys were flying with no navigation lights at all and I thought thats what the formation lights were for. :-/ :-/
