Finishing up my annual today--my mechanic noticed that someone along the way
had removed the original tail beacon and replaced it with an automotive turn
signal flasher and bulb.  They just cut the wires to the old power supply
and light, and spliced it in.  They left the old power supply mounted in the
tail cone. It even sounds like a turn signal when its on and the engine
isn't running.  I hadn't done very much night flying to notice.

Hmmmmmmmmm--what will they think of next?
