I had the opportunity to take a closer look at a Eurofighter/Typhoon cockpit at an airshow a couple of years ago. According to the pilot the A/C had been about 5 years old at that time. Cockpit looked pretty beat up, lots of paint chipping around certain areas. When I asked about it he told me it wasn't only the flying time that's taking a toll on the surfaces but all the hours of maintenance, repairs, checks, etc...
