LOG: A long week at Ramstein

[Henk Voortwijs]

Hi Guys,

Here a report of a week on the fence at Ramstein Airbase.
As I didn't want to travel from base to base in a hot car, and also could
use a little rest, I decided to go to Ramstein, do some camping on a
nearby campsite and enjoy the German beer and food in the evening.

Nice to meet some old and new friends also, you know who you are!
Further thanks for all the info I recieved during my stay,
and I hope the info i gave was usefull too.

On my way up there on Sunday, a quick stop at Spangdahlem AB,
where only one lonely C-17 was seen, 00181, 62nd AW.

Not much time spend here, quickly turned the nose of my car in the direction
of Ramstein, to arrive there before quiet hours ended at 13:00 hours local.

Sunday morning is quiet hours at Ramstein until 13:00 local,
and as I heared that two MFO Blackhawks could be seen
at Coleman Baracks when the hangar doors are open,
I tried my luck there. And lucky I was:
