Just saw some Turbo T-6's at Hooks (DWH) today at lunch. Normally you see T-6's coded RA for Randolph but these were coded CB. I can't come up with anything around close that would fit. Help?

Columbus, Ohio or Georgia is all I can up with but that's a long trip for lunch, unless they are assigned to Randolph temporarily. I don't believe Columbus has an active A.F.B. They could operating out of the municipal airport I suppose.
