My old man flew with an old captain in the '70s . . . at FL 330 at night he would fly with the a/c lit up, landing lights on. Which you aren't supposed to do, because they stick out of the wings when operating and cause aerodynamic rumble.

When asked why he did this repeatedly he would only reply "They're out there."
