In the United States, Lucas has recently been fined $88 million for supplying substandard electronic and mechanical parts to the Air Force. The parts deemed substandard exhibited a service life of approximately half what was promised by Lucas, and many parts failed in the field, causing a large number of forced landings of aircraft and unscheduled maintenance. Sound familiar? I can just imagine Tom Cruise in "Top Gun" having to WALK because he got stranded in the middle of the Mediterranean by Luca, God of Darkness. |
