I was at Ramstein Air base on thurday, well not AT the base but besides the base... after not being there since a long time. The area really has changed since then... the main runway 09/27 is under construction (looks like they make it longer) and the parallel taxiway has now become main rwy 08/26.
Also the base fence is wider than before and a new C-130 ramp has been constructed on the eastern side. The photo oppertunities are better now but police is not happy with telelenses pointed at the base.
I had only minor problems with the police, I was parked wrong. I had parked my car on a better place and the police waved and wished me a nice day...
Flying activities were dissapointingly low....
A vieuw from the Bismark Turm in Landstuhl. In the front you can see RWY08/26, in the middle the construction of RWY09/27 and on the far side the Ramp with two C-5 Galaxies and two B747's. Behind the B747 of evergreen a large building (presumably an hotel) is being build...
