When returning to base on night flights, it is difficult to find the runway.  Can we have lighted runways for night flying?

If you want historically accurate, model a guy waving two orange paddles about madly.

I suppose when we all have super duper el fasto mutoid ultra computers (sometime in the future) we'll have the whole deck crew with their fancy colour jackets and their cool bendy pointing poses, with you giving the A OK sign before being zoomed off the carrier. If you zoom in on your pilot, you'll see him looking cool too, smoking a cigar...or a perked joint, perhaps :)
