Description
Summary
I am designing a series of drink coasters highlighting the USAF squadrons that worked on the AGM-69A Short Range Attack Missile (SRAM) carried by the B-52, B-1B, and the FB-111A during the Cold War. I was privileged to serve in the 5th Munitions Maintenance Squadron, Minot AFB. ND during this time working both in shop on the missile guidance/flight controls and on the flight line on the aircraft release system. The SRAM replaced the AGM-28 Hound Dog and was in active service from 1972-1990.
This is the fifth coaster in the series and depicts the 410th Munitions Maintenance Squadron (MMS) patch. The 410th MMS was based at K. I. Sawyer AFB, MI.

Pour your favorite beverage and enjoy! If you worked with the SRAM, I hope this brings back good memories.
How I Designed This
I was able to connect with former service members who sent me photos of their unit patch, internet searches gave me a clearer image to draw the design in CorelDraw. Exported this as a dxf and imported into Fusion 360 to deboss into the upper surface of a coaster blank.
