“…This is the busiest time of year for the elves and I…” Published Dec. 19, 2016 By Senior Airman Ramon A. Adelan 9th Reconnaissance Wing Public Affairs BEALE AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- “I was fortunate to visit Beale Air Force Base with my busy schedule. As you all know this is the busiest time of year for the elves and I, we are preparing for the big day. With Beale’s and the 9th Reconnaissance Wing’s assets flying around it makes it more of a challenge to not be seen on Christmas Eve. But I would like to wish a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all the Airmen of Beale Air Force Base.” Santa Claus, Father Christmas Hometown: North Pole Everyone has a story…we dare you to tell yours.
