Photographer's remark

This US Navy SH-3 Sea King tail shows some detail on the swing tail hinges, the boat hull of this type of helicopter as well as the Optical landing system lights for the USS Midway aircraft carrier. OLS consists of a horizontal row of green lights, used as a horizontal reference, and a column of vertical lights. The vertical lights signal whether the aircraft is too high, too low, or at the correct altitude as the pilot descends the glide slope towards the carrier's deck. Other lights give various commands and can be used to require the pilot to abort the landing and "go around." The OLS is controlled by the LSO, who can also communicate with the pilot via radio as well.
