I hate to fly and only do so when a vacation spot is too distant and too difficult to resist. But I'm betting someone on TCS can answer my question.
DH and I live approximately 30 minutes by car from a major international airport. There seems to be a flight path to be directly over our house. We sit out frequently in our backyard at night, tiki torches lit to ward off mosquitos, and relax. My question is: do you think the people on the planes can see the light of our torches from the air?
I can remember flying over a lake once during the day and seeing swimming pools in backyards not long before we landed. I have no sense of location while flying, but I believe the lake I saw was about 30 minutes (again, by car) from the airport.
I know my question is dumb, but I have been wondering about this for a while now. DH joked that he hoped none of the pilots thought our torches were runway lights.
