The 663rd Aircraft Control and Warning squadron first began operations at McGhee Tyson Airport on 1 Jan 1951. Later they moved to Tennessee Guard Armory in Maryville, November 1951. Construction finished on Cross Mountain AFS in March 1952. Cross Mountain AFS was re-designated as Lake City AFS 1 December 1953. Operations ceased 1 June 1961 and the site is now home to radio and television antennas. Unknown what the station was called when this token was in use.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is their emblem:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]959057[/ATTACH]</p><p>Notice the tram in the right lower portion of the emblem - the site had a tram between the radar towers and the rest of the station.</p><p><br /></p><p>In case anyone is interested I created a thread where I shared some of my paper chits with tokens. Below is another set I was recently able to assemble:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]959059[/ATTACH]</p><p>GA110b, Hunter AFB, brass, 35mm</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the accompanying paper chits:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]959066[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]959067[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>A scan of the book cover:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]959068[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>If you missed the thread where I posted the other tokens and chits, here it is:</p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/military-script-with-tokens.341002/#post-3573705" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/military-script-with-tokens.341002/#post-3573705">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/military-script-with-tokens.341002/#post-3573705</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
