Turn On the Lights So They Won't See Us!

[Subdeacon Joe]

Yehudi lights.

Yehudi lights are lamps of automatically controlled brightness placed on the front and leading edges of an aircraft to raise the aircraft's luminance to the average brightness of the sky, a form of active camouflage using counter-illumination. They were designed to camouflage the aircraft by preventing it from appearing as a dark object against the sky.

"Turn on"?

 

Turn in the lights doesn't make sense to me. Maybe it does to other people.

Maybe it was a fat fingered typo.

I've discovered that you always need to ask.

 

Somebody was talking about an 11/22 rifle. I thought it was a typo. Nope. Real gun.

 

Somebody else talks about a 21 rimfire. Obviously a typo. Nope. New cartridge.

 

So I have quit assuming that it is a typo, and I'm now assuming that is something I have never heard of. And I ask.
