Thanks for the feedback.

Beale was an amazing airbase only about and hour’s drive from Sacramento.

“Beale was an amazing airbase only about and hour’s drive from Sacramento.”

I PCSed back to that area to Mather in 1985 and was one of the last 15 families off when they closed it. Dealt a lot with the non-existent bull pin and WSA. I could tell you some real funny stories about the closure there and the over running of civilians that clawed their way into control. I guess Rancho Cordova has rebounded after the loss a little but it almost went to a ghost town for a while.
