Flight followed these while at the 746th AC&W Sq in Oklahoma. Usually they were "Crome Dome" flights coming out of Dyess AFB, Texas headed north for their fail safe points north of Canada. The B-58's were also stationed at Little Rock AFB during this time but I don't recall ever working aircraft from that base while stationed at Oklahoma City Air Defense Sector.
