Boeing St. Louis actually puts F18's & F15's on a big rotisserie at the end
of the assembly line and roll them over to listen for loose stuff rolling
around!

I remember a news story a few years ago , about a wrench falling out of
the sky
into someones yard, right when a airliner passed while near an airport..
another thought, we did find a socket out on the long
course at Bonneville last WOS, while doing a course checks after mishaps.
and IIRC: someone found a 9/16 wrench on the course at finals in 2002.
