Talk:Cannon Air Force Base

Anonymous comments removed
Someone apparently at Randolph Air Force Base recently added content that didn't remotely pretend to approximate Wikipedia's content standards. I have removed it. Marc W. Abel 23:26, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Median incomes
Anyone know if these figures include the military allowances for housing and food? Marc W. Abel 04:49, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Reference improvements / in-line citations called for
This article currently is labelled with "incorporates text from" an official webpage. As such, the article does not show which material is copied. Copied material should be in quotes (quotation marks or set in block quote formatting), to separate from wikipedia editor wording of consensus views, to separate from other sourced material, and to separate from new Original Research that may creep in as the article is edited over time. Hence it may be suitable to mark this article with the "refimprove" and/or "nofootnotes" tag. The latter calls for in-line citations (yes there are footnotes included in the article, but it calls for more footnoting, for the copied text)

This is not an issue of copyright violation, assuming that the source copied from is public domain. It is an issue of proper referencing, including avoiding the appearance of plagiarizing, but for other good referencing reasons as well. There are other perspectives than mine on some of these details. See Talk at WP:REF for other current discussion. doncram (talk) 18:09, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Cannon AFB Location
Cannon AFB is located approximately 7 miles SW of Clovis, NM (not 7 NE as stated in the text). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.193.153.186 (talk) 06:46, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

UAVs
Now that Cannon has MQ-9 Reapers and MQ-1 Predators, shouldn't the article be updated to reflect that?

CASF deployments
One major deployment to Europe is missing before the one mentioned for 1961. In May 1959 during another Berlin crisis, the 832nd Air Division deployed all four CASF squadrons on basically a two week rotation. I went to Hahn with the advance team after which four squadrons in turn rotated to Germany. As best I recall the 430th was the first to Hahn and in order, follwed by the 524th, the 478th and last the 481st, my squadron. I flew back to the US with them. I was a charter member (November 57) of the 477 FBS straight out of gunnery and the F-100A program at Nellis. We had a commander, ops officer, and two of us from training. My classmate was Albert G. Arnold. We had no airplanes but began to receive our first a month or two after we arrived. Lt. Col. Edwin V.

F111 era
I added a small section to the history/cold war section to mention the F111 era at Cannon. For roughly a quarter of its existence Cannon was a F111 operator/training base. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kyle kursk (talk • contribs) 15:07, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
