I just stumbled upon the "Project Yehudi". Did a quick sub reddit search and couldnt find a single post about them so i decided to share this with you guys!
heres what they look like: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Principle_of_Yehudi_Lights_with_Avenger_head-on_view.jpg
It was an active camouflage project where you put adjustable lights (originally blue color) around the leading edge of an airplane. Counter illumination would render the plane invisible in the sky when looked at it head on.
They also experimented with adding lights underneath of planes!
Wouldnt surprise me if they not only used blue lights but also red or orange lights for sunrise and sunset counter illumination.
Lets say they did test flights with it at evening / at night or simply forgot to put them off when coming back from their day flights. You would see a chain of boomerang shaped lights or triangle ones when watched from below.
They started with it in the 40s.
Since the development of stealth technology, Yehudi lights have attracted renewed interest, first in 1973 when McDonnell Douglas researched a "Quiet Attack" aircraft for the Office of Naval Research, modifying the F-4 Phantom with Yehudi lights on its underside, and later in the 1970s when Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works was contracted to develop a stealth aircraft prototype Have Blue, which helped to guide the development of the F-117A stealth fighter and the B-2 stealth bomber.
Do your worst!
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
Pilot on me!!
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
They’re on standbi

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...
Notices there's only 2;
Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."
I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.
I was just sitting there doing nothing.
“BOOM”?!
