Now having said that, I've flown a lot at night, single engine, vfr,

airplanes too. I think the Bogeyman might be scared of me. But I do
try to stay in gliding distance of a highway wherever possible. If the
Bogeyman does hop onto my wing at night like a bad Twilight Zone
episode with William Shatner, , I'd rather take my chances on a dead
stick landing with the wires crossing the road and the cars, than the
unseeable terrain in the dark. And yes, I'll leave the landing light
on for the duration.

Unless you don't like what you see toward the end, then just turn it
off...

Why? Impact will extinguish it soon enough.
