Brief Description:  Fuselage - Drilling Fuselage Skins

This afternoon, Dad came up to the shop and showing some interest to participate to the project. Great timing, because I had lots of drilling to do, simple task he could do. Therefore, together with myself on the left side, and Dad on fuselage right side, we did:

- Final drill #30, the 1/8 holes, and #40 the 3/32 holes, in the left and right F-823-1 Mid Side Skins, that were not drilled previously
- Dad did on both side: Final drill #40, the 3/32 holes in the F-824-1 LH & RH aft side skins that are common with left and right F-888-1 aft mid longeron, and F-889-1 Aft Lower Longeron
- Final drill #40, the 3/32 holes in F-842-1 Aft Botton Skin FWD
- Final drill #40, the 3/32 holes not yet drilled at the aft end of the F-826-1 and F-827-1 Center bottom skins.

We worked from 14h00 until 17h30
