What are you on about?
You don't see the lines of longitude or latitude in real life, nobody went and painted these lines on the ocean.
Again you're trying to twist things in order to win an argument, he didn't know the area visually it's the friggin ocean, no defining points and no landmarks.
Already explained how he wouldn't really know what vessels would be below him, when they would be there and how often.
To say the ocean isn't used for fishing is stupid.
He would see the lines of latitude and longitude in his plane's dashboard monitor, I expect.
I'm not twisting anything. I'm stating the obvious that a pilot should be expected to know what geographical area he's in, within the scale of hundreds of miles.
To say that some areas of the ocean are not used for fishing, is simply trusting the educated report of the veteran airplane pilot.
Meh.
I mentioned earlier how many pilots lost their lives over the North sea and English channel during WWII. Pilots who were actually measuring their distance and not relying on nonexistent machines. Trust me when I say flying over the ocean is no easy task.
He didn't "know" that area of the ocean and quite frankly your POV just shows your ignorance of aviation in general.
Some areas of the ocean are prohibited in regards to fishing, it still happens though. Until very recently it's been difficult to notice or even enforce against illegal fishing.
Funny how you're trying to put words into my mouth though.

Why would I care that you can’t find an image when I’ve seen it for myself for years?
You don't care that the entire world wide web has NO photos that show boats with blaring red lights?

Because usually if there's zero evidence of something existing... It just might not exist.
Why do you think there are no images that support your argument, IN THE WORLD WIDE WEB?

I guess being dishonest is a rolling thing with you?
I googled and it took me less time to find a page with a fishing boat completely illuminated in red, than it did to write this reply lol.

But there is.
Your google-fu is lacking.
*waits for yet another goal post shift*
Your last photo absolutely does not show red illumination of the environment.
There is absolutely no red illumination of the water or the area surrounding the boat.

You made a ridiculous statement about fishing boats, I showed you that it was wrong. Can you not have the balls to just admit you were wrong?
Not just cloud cover prevents you seeing cars, there is night time too. When it's dark.
Most fishing boats would be the "smaller, homemade unofficial type of fishing boats"? You plainly have no idea about commercial fishing.
What am I supposed to admit I was wrong about? I'm right that the photos are from an area that doesn't have fishing boats.
Cars at night are quite visible from a plane, not only for their headlights, but for their dark shapes against an illuminated road.
You can't possibly be disagreeing that most fishing boats would be small, homemade rigs. We're talking about impoverished third-world countries where the people are working themselves almost like slaves. Yes, I expect that's the majority of fishing boats.
For developed countries with a better standard of living, sure they must have navy-type vessels, but that can't possibly be more numerous than all the impoverished countries with presumably small, cheap, homemade rigs. Trying to make money to be able to eat the next day.
Dude your posts are getting increasingly incoherent.
For the topic of calculating exact miles, please do it, instead of repeating how easy it is to do it. ... I honestly don't think this quote is even from me:
Nope. Hundreds of miles could factually, actually, be anything less than 1,000 miles. Such as 800-999 miles lol.
What questions? Talking about fishermen not catching fish is irrelevant and it really doesn't amount to a question of me.
My trust still stands, in the pilot's educated report, that boats don't go in that stretch of Pacific Ocean.
Yes, it's banter. What actual questions do you have for me?

Care to show me where I said the light illuminated the water?

No?
Didn’t think so.
BTW, here’s another boat illuminated in red light.

Yeah. No images of red lights on fishing boats in a google search lol.

Waaaaaaaait a second. You said there weren’t any photos of boats being illuminated by red light and you couldn’t find ANY on google.
Proved you wrong real quick. Suck it up buttercup.
