ONE CRACK WAS JUST FWD AND THE OTHER JUST AFT OF A PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED SKIN REPAIR FOR REPAIR OF SIMILAR MILL LINE CRACKING.  THE SKIN PANEL WAS CUT FROM THE STRINGER 20L LAP JOINT TO THE S-25L LAP JOINT AT FS 727C & 756.  A NEW SKIN PANEL WAS SPLICED IN WITH ALUMINUM STRAP DOUBLERS PER ER/A 092754-14.
