We arrived back from Troy despite the best efforts of the driver of our chartered bus. This gentleman was obviously the bus company owner as well, because he spent half of his time behind the wheel working on his schedule and making phone calls – while we were screaming down the Massachusetts Turnpike at 75 mph. Some of the other parents were pretty nervous…I guess years of flight instructing have numbed me to crappy driving or crappy flying skills.

After returning, I launched right into riveting the previously-primed bulkheads. Nothing too difficult, and after a morning’s work I had a nice bit of visual progress to show for all that deburring and drilling.

The F-711 bulkhead was such a learning experience, it deserves a picture of its own…
