The first time I saw a Canadian Hornet I was checking out the details,
including the spotlight. Stenciled on the light cover access panel
were the words "Gun Holdback Indicator". Pretty sure this was
coincidental, referring to something technical inside, but thought it
quite appropriate - intercept bogey, turn on light - if it says "Air
Canada" on the side, hold back on the gun. =)
