As I said, a well formed Google will find the answer in a
few seconds.

Forty years ago, airline check pilots would ask the pilots
upgrading on the line, how many rivets in the tail. The
answer as a number is useless, if Douglas used 55,000
rivets, by the time it was 10 years old there might be
another 5,000 because of repairs. The only good answer to
such questions is "All of them."
