What if they ended up buying Hughes Aircraft?

Can you imagine everytime you power-on your radar system and it plays
that stupid melody. (and saying in that silky voice... "We're Beatrice")

I for one have enough trouble swallowing GM-Hughes Electronics. That's like

Defense is paired with the Chevrolet of auto making.
