Is Beale AFB closed now? I visited once, in '69, while stationed at Mather AFB. I was hoping to see an SR-71, but, as my friend and I (both new 2nd Lts.) were dressed in civies, we couldn't get onto the flight line. Live and learn.
Thanks for checking out the photos, Beale AFB is still open as I still see Military Aircraft flying out of the area frequently. I had seen a few U2 flights going out of Beale a couple of years ago, not sure if they are still flying them from there. I did see a SR-71 in flight but that was at the Abbotsford Airshow over 30 years ago, I never seen one going out of Beale (But then again they never told me when they were going to be flying to watch for them).
