beautiful night opps, check the light trail on the J15 take off both engine and wing tips red + green

reason why they are red + green so you can see if the aircraft is coming towards you or going away

The true reason is that you can discern which side is right (starboard) and left (port). This is taken straight from navies as ships are using the same colors for that. So a long and well known tradition.
