Something about the Phish concerts should be added, perhaps? Ubermonkey 00:54, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Double Cantilever Hangar

35 years later, I finally find out what the "DC" stands for in what was called "the DC Hangar". Hatcat 05:54, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Loring AFB "UFO" sighting.

[edit]

No helicopters landed in the WSA during this incident. I was there, inside the fence, working as a 463 in "The Plant." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zzzapper (talkcontribs) 19:13, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment

[edit]

Both the introduction and the body state Loring was the largest base in Strategic Air Command. Presumably, this is based on the size of the installation, stated at around 14,000 acres. The Beale Air Force Base article says Beale has 23,000 acres. Moreover, prior to the late 1970s, Beale was even larger -- a good deal of the installation was sold by the government at the time. Therefore, B2=n The source cited for the statement in "Origins" (the only citation for the entire paragraph), expressly states it was not the largest installation in SAC, so B1=n. --Lineagegeek (talk) 20:08, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lineagegeek I think this was meant in reference to facilities. Beale is indeed larger, but Loring has a larger literal footprint. This link certainly states that Loring is more average in that respect. Regardless, I have fixed the wording, so it is correct. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 02:36, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
