Re: Universal Spy Hand Signals

As a cadet in the Civil Air Patrol, the USAF Auxillary, i have some slight experience with flight-line marshaling. Ideally, we would use traffic wands(flashlights with big tinted cones). What the CAP aircrews near me use are just 3' PVC pipes spray painted orange.

ASL is too small, and semaphore is too complicated. I say we meet in the middle and use colored PVC pipes to signal the drivers, and have the motions based off aviation or rigging standards. The PVC pipes could even be two colors, though this would make the language more complicated.

Thoughts?
