## Description

Il nome ricorda Edward Beale, esploratore della California dell'Ottocento; la missione è ben più moderna. Dalla base vicino a Marysville operano gli U-2 Dragon Lady – in graduale dismissione dal 2025-2026 – e i droni RQ-4 Global Hawk del 9th Reconnaissance Wing, eredi dei leggendari SR-71. Niente voli civili e niente merci: la logistica commerciale della valle passa da Sacramento (SMF).
