Captain John and Dave “Wicked Stick” Rogers up for a little riveting assistance

I had a target of opportunity to get Captain John and Dave “Wicked Stick” Rogers up for a little riveting assistance on the lower wing skins. Ellen and I had started riveting the right inboard skin around the wing walk and rear spar and John, Dave and I picked up from there. Dave is one of the most skilled RV riveters around, and I was glad to have both his and John’s help. Dave and John did some riveting while I stepped back and took a picture…

And lest anyone think that I didn’t do any work…I’m the one wielding the rivet gun.

After a good morning’s work, we headed for the Sunset Tap and Grill.
