Sad to see this happen and I hope the damage is repairable. These military jets are very complex machines that the military had many skilled people of various specialites to work on them.
I have oftern wondered how civilians with only one or two planes can get that variety and level of expertise to work on them.

The B-52 and me, we have grown old, gray and overweight together.
