Technically, it wasn't in flight. Based on where we found the door,
approx 1000 ft. down the runway (DA was 6200 ft so it took a bit longer
than usual to commit aviation), we were not yet flying. It was more at
the point where you wonder just how long the airspeed indicator is going
to take to reach 65 MPH.

If it was an in-flight departure of the oil door, I'm sure it would have
happened at 12,500 over Lake Tahoe and I'd be whining about having to
spend $120+ on a new door. As it is, less than $15 in parts from Spruce
and an appointment with my brother the rivet master and I'll be good to go.
