[ARC5] Whidbey Island Air Museum

[Tim]

I visited an otherwise pretty extensive military history museum awhile
back; they had a very complete TCS set sitting in the corner.  I told the
staffer that it wouldn't take much to make it an operating display.  He
said - cool, but we would just like to have some blinking lights on the
front; could you do that for us?  Ummm no thanks..I gotta go.....
