<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jwt708, post: 2845152, member: 32619&quot;]Hello everyone! </p><p><br /></p><p>I was wondering if any of the transit token collectors could help me out with the below token:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]674070[/ATTACH] </p><p>O: LINCOLN CITY LINES, INC. / L (cutout) / NEB.</p><p>R: GOOD FOR / ONE AIR BASE FARE</p><p>Cunningham NE170a, Atwood NE540S, steel or iron, 23mm</p><p><br /></p><p>What I was wondering is if Atwood has any info on when this token was used. There were some other bases in Nebraska that have transit tokens, and they were WWII but those bases didn&#039;t last past WWII while this one persisted. Any help is appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>A little about Lincoln:</p><p>Lincoln Airfield began in the early 1920s and according to Wikipedia, it&#039;s where Charles Lindbergh learned to fly. It eventually was a contracted location for Army pilot training but that was later moved to Florida. With WWII kicking off the Army needed aifields and Lincoln was reactivated as Lincoln Army Airfield. In 1946 the base was placed in inactive status and this is where Nebraska Air National Guard (ANG) was stood up as well as a Navy Guard unit. In 1952 with the outbreak of the Korean war, the Nebraska senators were able to get the base reactivated as Lincoln Air Force Base. They had refueler and bomber aircraft and ended up with a missile unit as well. The base was again deactivated in 1966 and went to civilian use as Lincoln Airport. Today, there is still a Nebraska ANG unit flying KC-135s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry about the crummy picture. I haven&#039;t found my tripod yet, my camera is dead, and I don&#039;t have any more coin holders at the moment. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, a big THANK YOU! to [USER=28531]@H8_modern[/USER] for gifting me with this cool token! I just got around to updating my token spreadsheet and this guy needs some attention!</p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to post any transit tokens or whatever. Again, thanks for the help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
