The hanger is a bit noisy today as Mateo and Oscar are re-skinning a horizontal stabilizer. They took off all the old aluminum and are drilling and riveting to put new aluminum back on. This is necessary as the stabilizer can get quite banged up when planes take off and land on dirt s. Rocks and other debris get kicked up and make all sorts of dents. The one they are working on is a spare that will be put on a plane during some future inspection. This allows the inspection to be done in a more time-efficient manner.
