From an A-7 pilot transitioning to the F-16:
X Rotating beacon does not rotate.
This came back from debrief after I had already had a conversation with the pilot at the jet that went something like this...
"Chief, the rotating beacon isn't rotating."
"The what? Oh, the anticollision beacon..."
"Yes, it goes 'flash, flash' but it doesn't spin around like on the A-7."
"Sir, it's only supposed to go flash, flash."
"Are you sure?"
