The entrance to the former Flintstone AFS may be found just off Scenic Hwy. (Hwy. 157) on Lookout Mt. GA. Just after leaving Tennessee traveling SW on Scenic Hwy. you will pass Covenant college on the right, the college building was known as the "Castle in the Clouds Hotel" during the days of the 867th AC&W. About a half mile past the college you will see South Campus Rd on the left, this is the road that was the entrance to the 867th.

Most of the former site now belongs to Covenant college and the signs at the entrance give some idea of it`s present uses. "Shadowlands Field" is a soccer field located at the lower site where the barracks once stood while "Highlands Field" is located on the former upper site at the GATR location and beyond. In addition to the facilities listed here there is also a paint ball range located on the lower site. I also understand that the lower site served as an elementary school for a number of years. Note: Flintstone AFS was divided into two areas, the lower site contained the administrative and living areas while the upper site contained the actual operations areas.

Standing at the entrance to South Campus Rd you can still see the resemblemnce to this old photo furnished by John Smenner. The curve of the road, the parking area`s to the side, even some of the curb is still there.

The upper and lower sites were connected by a road that crossed a power line right of way. This photo is taken of the lower site location from an area near the upper site. To the left in this picture (behind the trees) is the Shadowland Soccer field.

This photo was taken from inside the upper site looking back at the gate, this appears to be the original gate to the upper site.

The remains of this unidentified building is just inside the upper gate to the left and was beside the operations building. It appears that it may of had a loading dock at one time.

This photo was taken from the middle of the operations building looking SW towards Highland Soccer Field. The foundation in the middle of the photo has cable troughs and I believe was associated with the search radar.

This photo was taken of the remains of the operations building from what was the SW entrance looking NE. The building in the center of the photo off in the distance is Covenant college.

Behind the operations building I found 2 of the second height finder mounts.

And down the side of the mountain I found the other 2 mounts.

Leaving Flintstone AFS and taking a left on Scenic Hwy I found the family housing area about a 1/2 mile down on the left. It was not hard to spot, the houses were all similar size and design and looked like base housing. The fact that there were sidewalks was another clue, something very rare in Dade county Georgia Of course the biggest clue was that 2 of the 3 streets were named for 867th commanders (Krupski and Carter) I have no knowledge of the origin of the name of the third (Martin). Overall the houses were well kept in this area, I might keep an eye out in this area for some rental property.
