I wonder how much an interior detail of an F-16 would be?
Airmen are cheap!
After too many impounds for lost knobs and such in the cockpit, I had all the aircraft in Cann status have a mandatory touch and tug on every dial, switch, light hood etc in the cockpit. It took a guy sitting there in the seat about three full shifts to do it. The APG section chief figured if they can do that, they can clean as they go.
Cockpit FOD rates dropped tremendously.
However, it doesn't take long for a cockpit to get nasty, especially where these guys are operating.
