I hate it when my Probe gets bent. LOL
I was at Beale from 86-89. Was a pre-mission programmer for the 71’s and U-2’s. Worked on the third floor of the block house. Also worked in the base Museum for a while.
I was there from Mar 80 - Jul 83 with the 349th AREFS, while my wife was an admin troop in the 99th SRS. We both worked in opposite ends of Bldg 1086 (for those never at Beale it is a very large building) and ended up meeting while TDY at RAF Mildenhall. All the U-2 guys insisted on meeting me to make sure she wasn’t going to marry a dirt bag. After all who would trust a sweet young thing to a guy that goes around sticking his boom into any available receptacle in the sky. LOL!
