That blows my mind that there's a highway right in the middle of the domed concrete tab vee shelters at the beginning. That was an ultra high security area when I was there in '79-'80. As I look at those tab vee's I remember working at 3am in the dead of winter with it -20deg F. Completely dark, dead silent, strange arc lighting, working alone in the freezing cold on some part of an F4. But that was the most secure land in the world at the time and now there's a public highway 50 yards away from where I worked alone in the dark. I can't believe that that moment then became this reality now.
USAFE veteran here... '90-'92 on Hahn... I was the reason the Colonel didn't get his 1st star....................... and proud of it. lol #semperparatus everyone !
Stationed at 'Flugplatz' Hahn 73-77. Lived in Blankenrath for a while, then Sohren, then the God awful green toned down camouflaged base housing. Remember the Elephant Walks in this area and the roar (and a crash) of the F-4 Phantom's along the top of the Hunsrück.
Those dorms were built when I arrived there in 1988. I had several coworkers who lived in those dorms and I spent many hours there between living off base with my wife who I am still married to. I was in CES heavy equipment and paving.
I don’t recognize a thing! It’s been awhile but try going by the old dorms next time Rich! I thought I saw the gate at the “Gold Area” Bruce Ankeny chewed me a new one at. 😂. Jeff B. 🇺🇸🫡
