Randall:
Lockheed brakes and Lockheed Aircraft are different companies, although I
think their founders were brothers (spelled Loughead and pronounced
Lockheed, they adopted the phoenetic spelling).
Anyway, I have to call you on this one. I really doubt that Lockheed uses
silicon brake fluid in their aircraft. Mil-H-5606 or Skydrol is my guess.
