I suffered an electrical failure on a solo night flight over Los Angeles a few months after receiving my private license. No lights, no radios, no nuthin (thank goodness for magnetos, eh?). I used a flashlight to make my approach and landing at Hawthorne. I circled the tower several times, got a green light on my second pass, and landed without further incident.
Still, it was a bit spooky.
