Brief Description:  Rivet Wing Top Skins

Still had problems with my security clearance so could not work today (it did get resolved and I will be working starting tomorrow). Started by using the pneumatic squeezer to rivet the bottom row of rivets on the left wing skins. Just as I finished those, Bill Pinney came over again, so we got to work and finished the left wing top skins by lunch time. Photos #1 below shows Bill with the Rivet Gun and me on the opposite side bucking on the left wing. Photo #2 is the right wing and shows me again bucking with Bill hidden on the other side. At the end of the day we had all four top skins riveted on both wings and they came off the jig and into the rolling stand previously prepared. Photo #3 shows Bill and I showing off our handiwork.
