[Interesting story snipped]

The public address is set up to prevent an inadvertant broadcast
to the passengers when replying to ATC, but the backlighting for the switch
burns the fingertip like heck after a few sentences.

I would be tempted to modify that backlighting. Find out what lamp is
used; remove the base from one, and replace it with an appropriately
colored LED (or 2) and dropping resistor.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. It sounds sweet.
