"Red" and "Right" both start with the same letter. It would sort of
make sense for them to be the same side. Since we're dealing with the
FAA, we can't have *that* sort of logic running around, so switch 'em.

Consider:

You're a-flyin' along at night, and you see, ahead of you, a flashing
beacon, with solid green on the left, solid red on the right, and the
gap between the two lights is slowly growing.

Red. Right. Returning. (yeah, it doesn't quite translate to aviation,
'cause you have to think of "returning" being equal to "bearing down
on ya")

You better bank right yourself, *now*, or that guy's gonna take you
out.

Be safe out there,
