I lived on Beale AFB for about a year back in 1962 and 1963, when my father was stationed there. We were at Beale for two significant events in Cold War history: The Cuban Missile Crisis, and the filming of A Gathering of Eagles. J Also, we were the first family to live in one of the brand-new Capehart houses (yup, I drove by the old address and took a look).
So I was glad to have the chance to visit and work on the base for two weeks.
Due to having a very full plate these days, I'm skipping my usual trip report format in order to get these photos posted sooner. All locations in this trip report are in California except for Stead AFB which is in Nevada.
