Thats a cool video. Pass on a well done to him if you can. Great video.
I've never seen 737s with flashing landing lights before!
Is that that new idea about increasing an aircrafts visability to others idea that I read about a while back perhaps?

Southwest has used them for as long as I can remember. You can also see them on Lear series jets. Obviously they are a day only use item. :)

Excellent footage. I thought "what the hell is that SWA doing" :D
I thought it was its last flight or something!

Loved the video very well made by the bloke that filmed and edited it loved the soundtrack as well.
Just one question on the flashing landing light though do they actually flash as the plane is coming into land or are they only for ground manouverability?

They are used in the air only. The Southwest 737's shown are exiting the runway, or preparing for takeoff, and haven't turned off their landing lights yet.

Great video. Those lights are very common on the Dassault Falcons as well. They are used as bird scarers I believe.

I haven't heard of them being bird scarers but they do have a much higher visibility due to the shifting light pattern rather than the steady burn of normal light systems.

Excellent video!
PS a minor exception, some politics into it, it seems to be implicating that Saddam H. has something to do with 9/11 attacks, which is well established he didn't.

At the risk of getting this moved to GD the impression I got from the video was that it was a general summary and pictorial representation of the events of 9/11 and everything that followed it, including the Iraq war, as a memory and reflection to all those affected, not so much a right wing bash at the "evil doers"

Perhaps, I got a different impression, but I don't rule out the I might be hipper sensitive to the subject. So let’s leave it with that, so the subject can stay here :D.

One of our captains made this video which includes images he took from the cockpit. It's kind of a 9/11 retrospective.

Most of the video is from KCLE.
