As a former member of the Delta Launch Team at SLC-17 at CCAFS and SLC-2 at Vandenberg AFB, I'm sad to see these historic launch sites demolished.

The last time I was at the CCAFS in July 2019 I drove to SLC-17 to see what it looked like, and although the Engineering and Operations buildings are still there it was hard to tell that two launch pads once stood only a few hundred yards from these buildings due to the growth of vegetation in the open area between them.

All times are CT (US)
