I was doing a walk around on a 767 and noticed this. It sure looks like Boeing is using Lucas headlights!?!

When only the best will do use Lucas.

Actually, you’re not as far off as you think... I work for Northrop Grumman (we make the B-2), which years ago acquired TRW which had previously acquired (you guessed it) Lucas.

Unfortunately (well, fortunately for NGC) our current CEO, being the former president of the TRW group, spun off Lucas as soon as he could....

So our stock price is high, but no employee discount for me!

I believe they used Lucas motors for the wing flaps. ( I had to wait a day for a replacement!) all that stuff about smoke in the wires was just a smokescreen

Maybe an old time pilot who still believes in relieving himself on the tire for good luck.

Or, maybe someone else. I wouldn't be surprised; there are several airlines I'd like to do that to.
