The trainer versions go in and out of Mather fairly often. I assume they're based at Beale AFB and just use Mather for short training hops.

The U2 I saw at Mather was based a Beale (as were the Air Force folks exhibiting it). They said the U2s get rotated in and out of service/training and that this unit had been all over the world.
Mather AFB has been closed since 1993.
At which point it became Sacramento Mather Airport, where the trainers fly in and out of from time to time.
