WiFi turns off, too , when going into Airplane Mode

Hi all,
not sure if this was the case before OS4 but I have noticed that when connected to Wifi and then switching to air-plane mode , Wifi will turn off as well but works again after turning it back on. (Air-plane mode will also stay turned on)

Is this a bug or normal behaviour?

Thanks

iMac 27" i5 (Late 2009), Mac OS X (10.6.4), iPhone 3GS 16Gb iOS4, MBP 15" (mid 2010)

That is how it has always been (well not always, original you couldn't have Wifi and Airplane at same time).

Process is always turn on Airplane, then you have to manually turn back on WiFi.

Completely normal...in airplane mode all radios are turned off, however you can go into settings, after you turn airplane mode on & turn wifi back on.
