Most recent was on a Star Air ship, OY-SRP, earlier this year, 2019. They did it in the new hangar. One purpose of the new cool floating overhead crane was to facilitate this exact repair.

Also, I know that N739AX had an aft bulkhead replacement, along with a zillion other repairs, at ILN before being delivered on its dry-lease to Amazon.
It's actually a widely-known and somewhat unique capability that AMES is proud of.
You are correct that a lot of the aircraft to which the AD applies generally won't need it, because unless certain FD is found, the AD doesn't require it before 60,000 cycles, and the LOV on the 767 is 50,000 cycles, after which almost anybody would retire that frame. CAM retired one frame last year at 50K cycles, and N798AX should reach 50,000 cycles shortly, which is why she is flying only as a spare.
Time does fly....thanks for the update. I remembered the numbers were nothing like originally planned...and the first one was not necessary. Cool video though...
