Relay tail lights?

[steiner_ca at hotmail.com (Craig Steiner)]

I like the quotation marks around the words research project.  A Scirocco 
modified by the U.S. Navy.  Should have Radar jammers, chaff, flares, 
UHF/VHF/HF radios, SATCOM, encrypted GPS, LINK 16, Forward Looking IR 
(FLIR), night vision and a complete passive and active sonar suite.  Don't 
forget to add that one button that no one knows what it's for and serves no 
purpose.  Could be fun.  Let me know if you need someone experienced with 
these systems.  I'll be more than happy to play!
