Looking down from the viewpoint, Ramstein seems to be a having some party on the apron east of the tower. Lots of parked cars, tents and people...
Plus 10 C-130H from different (US) origins and 9 RS-hercs home. Anyone an idea what's happening here today?

I was at Herrgaertchen viewpoint around 13:30LT when there were still 2x C-37 on the ramp.
According to ADS-B 01-0030 left around 14:00LT while I was driving to the Herc-side landing.
