Cachets should be listed in chronological order based on earliest known usage. Use the postmark date or best guess. This applies to add-on cachets as well.<br/><br/><hr/>'''HISTORICAL NOTE'''<br/>The US Navy started the construction of the Weeksville LTA air station on 6 August 1941, which lasted until 1942. NAS Weeksville was operational from 1941 to 1957. Budget cuts to the Navy's LTA program in the mid-1950s resulted in the closure of NAS Weeksville as an active naval installation in 1957. In 1959 the facility was used for design testing of communications satellites as part of NASA's Project Echo. In 1986, an aerostat manufacturing company, TCOM Corporation, relocated to Elizabeth City, and the former NAS Weeksville site is now known as the TCOM Manufacturing, Production and Test Facility for airships and aerostats and an active airfield for lighter-than-air aircraft operations.<hr/><br />
