Today was the big day to finish riveting the lower wing skins. Dave Rogers provided his superior bucking skills and we knocked out the remaining three ribs and spar-to-skin rivets in a couple of hours. Yeah, I know it took waaaaay too long to get this whole effort done…but we’re done.

The guilty parties…me, Captain John, Dave and Mitch at the completion of our work. As is our custom, we adjourned to the Sunset Grill and Tap for well-deserved refreshments.
