Yeah, i had a thread in the SD section and they all basically told me any "repair" wouldnt be worth it unless you found a really good body work shop who could replace the door skin. It will just keep coming back now that it has started and new doors were the only option

I heard the same thing from people, but I still am going to bring the truck in to see what they say.

I'm all for getting it fixed right, but not at the cost of replacing 4 doors right now. I might try to pick up 4 junkyard doors down in TN next year.

Its below the rust belt so the chances of finding unrusted parts is significantly better.

Here is a video of this morning's launch Its not great. It was with my phone, and I was tired. It was after all almost 3am haha

Some of you may remember my grandfather (Rest in peace) who served in the Air Force in the SR-71 program. Before he was involved with that he was at Vandenberg Missile Command.
The Colonel Edward Payne Award for Maintenance - originally awarded annually by Air Force Space Command to the missile maintenance squadron that does the most to improve the quality of life for maintenance technicians. Colonel Payne, who passed away in 2010, served both at Vandenberg and Ellsworth as a missile maintenance squadron commander and Deputy Commander for Maintenance. In 2008, AFSPC changed the award to a series of individual awards for outstanding maintenance personnel, and in 2009, the award was transitioned to the new Air Force Global Strike Command.
