Throughout much of aviation history, colorblind men (the usual type of colorblindedness affects only males, other types can affect either sex but are comparatively very rare) have been kept from flying for little good reason. The stated reason is the use of green and red tower signals and instrument markings.  It would be very easy to change those to other colors not impacted by the common male pattern color blindness or a type readable by even the truly colorblind. But aviation is ossified and a living coelecanth in many ways. Many individuals with male pattern red-green colorblindness have excellent fine visual acuity and actually might have made good fighter pilots. Emnemy aircraft are engaged usually on shape, not on whether they are red or green, which  at altitude no one can reliably tell anyway from any distance.  Here's an example of unintended consequence. I attended an A&P school and in the course learned in wiring almost all aircraft are wired with the same color (off-white or yellow) wire throughout. When I expressed my opinion of this, two of the instructors proceeded to "set me straight". Since colorblind people were traditionally not allowed to be pilots, many of those interested in aviation became aircraft mechanics instead, and a larger than average number of aircraft mechanics were color blind! The FAA has eased up on colorblindness besucae pilots are now waivered if they get a special pair of contact lenses one of which is tinted. They can quickly be trained, in a manner familiar to any experienced black and white photographer, to use the difference which each eye sees to distinguish the colors needed "for safe operation of aircraft". In practice, there were several individuals who learned the common color charts used in medical exams and managed to fake their way through aviation-some retiring senior captains with no incidents.<br/><br/>

for many years I was able to watch the madness on the roads down
below.  Could it be the good Lord gave us this season of change,
this time of economic uncertainty...just to look at ourselves and ask
where we are really going? And who we really are?<br/><br/>
