Brief Description:  Rivet right mid-side skin

I'm going to be busy the next few days, then up in Auckland for a week on a VMware training course, so there won't be any plane building activity for a while. As a result I was able to convince Jackie to come and rivet with me for a while and we got that right side mid skin done. She drove the 426's and I was inside bucking and then we swapped so I drove the 470's. We had one or two drill outs of the 470's because they got flattened. We also have a small dent in the exterior skin, but luckily that will be covered by the wing. That happened when Jackie slipped off the rivet due to a nutplate in close proximity. Still, one side is done, which I'm pleased about. We'll tackle the other side in around ten days or so. C'ya'll...
