Mikhail has to fly home tomorrow after enjoying Christmas visiting with everyone. Since Mikhail will be flying out of JFK, Matt and Ben drove down today and all of us will be heading out to NYC tomorrow to him off. We are also planning to visit Ground Zero, the Intrepid Aircraft Carrier, and Times Square. I took advantage of Matt and Ben being here to rivet the top main skins on the left wing. All that is left are the rivets along the rear spar and inboard rib which I can squeeze later. A very fun and productive night!
