Pilot reports red lights in forest hence hard to locate. This pinpoint is in clearing in forest at altitude approx. 1000'. This would provide difficulty unless appprox 1000' This would provide difficulty unless approached at some 1500
ft. Successful ops. BIT 5 A & B carried out using this pinpoint.
