What to buy at OSH this year?

Yeah, and not just the Pax. When I landed on rw 4R at EWR a few weeks ago,
the damn marker beacon went off as I came over the threshold. I was a bit
nervous and excited anyway, and having something beeping that I'd never
heard before was not cool. Gave me a start for a few seconds until I
figured out what light was flashing with it. I knew it wasn't the stall
warning, because that's only a red light on the Archer. Climbing out from
rw 29, it went off again, but this time I was better able to ignore it.

Yeah, those thingies...

Also known as the "the things that beep and flash as you are climbing out
(if the rwy has ILS approaches in both directions) and landing, scaring
the beejebers out of pax who are unfamiliar with what to expect in the
cockpit."
