Boeing also has foreign object damage problems on the 787 and on the KC46 tankers. Looks like this story still has a long way to run.

Wow, I'm surprised that's not more well-known (that the USAF halted all deliveries of the KC-46 after finding loose material and debris in delivered planes). Amazingly bad.

I wonder what the odds are that the Dreamliner gets grounded (again) soon to have them all gone over with a fine-tooth comb.
