Aero Linx: Beech17.net
This is the first complete production list of the Beech 17 on the internet, second edition. My main goal is describing all the individual airplane histories and events, in order to inform the Beech community and to connect with all the enthousiasts worldwide.

Takeoff Hold Lights (THL)
The THL system is composed of in-pavement lighting in a double, longitudinal row of lights aligned either side of the runway centerline. The lights are focused toward the arrival end of the runway at the “line up and wait” point, and they extend for 1,500 feet in front of the holding aircraft. Illuminated red lights indicate to an aircraft in position for takeoff or rolling that it is unsafe to takeoff because the runway is occupied or about to be occupied by an aircraft or vehicle.
