 * We cannot write WP:Featured Articles if the sources are not properly explained. WP:V is the basis of this encyclopedia. You have provided no sources to back your *assertion* that this material is U.S. government PD (WP:BURDEN), and even if so, it would be much better with a source. No-one can prove this is US-gov PD at the moment!! Just find the source, note it, and we can all proceed to more constructive work. as well. Copying to article talk page as well.

Bombers & Super Constellation Airborne Radar Aircraft
My father was stationed at McClellan from May 1958 until June 1961. He was a supply officer, so he definitely fit the Air Materiel designation given in this article. I was in my early teens when we were there and we often went on base for recreation or for Boy Scout meetings and activities. As I recall, there was a unit of B-52 bombers stationed there, and a few B-47's as well (I think that these were being phased out). There was also a unit of RC-121's, radar bearing Super Constellations, that flew coastal surveillance flights on a continuous basis. All I have is my memories to go on, but from what my father said, these two units were an important part of the base's mission. I have absolutely no technical information on them, so I do not want to add this to the article, but I did want to ask if anyone else out there knew anything about the bombers and Super Connies stationed there.
