Jim Frantz:

Had you considered a large Chinese coolie hat, covered with aluminum foil?  
Bounces those little infra reds right back out, and I think it would be VERY
stylish.  Certainly would create a sensation when you taxi into the ramp.  

Maybe Proprietary Software Inc. can introduce some very shiny, very light
weight spun aluminum reflectors we can attach to the head band on the top of
our headsets.  Remember Moon caps on the hot rods of the 50's?  Your next
business opportunity?

I have seen reflective films applied to glass in buildings.  It appears that
they consist of a metallized layer on plastic, and are then applied to the
glass with metallization facing the glass to protect the soft metal layer
while reflecting the infra red.  However, based on the comment about the
Plexiglas outgassing, it seems that any type of film applied to Plexiglas is
doomed. Back to aluminum coolie hats?
