Comments for Bavaria, Germany

Nearly daily open with enough Pre-Time for PPR. Gras Runway in good condition. Near to Schweinfurt-City. No restrictions to time. Be careful in direction 10 to turbulence near threshold.

EFFICIENT AND EASY TO USE ALSO KIND WORKERS

It looks like the foundations for the approach light system to me.

In the satellite image, there is a small section of runway remaining at the eastern edge of the development, beyond this there appears to be shadows which at first glance look like a continuation of the central markers, any ideas what this is? (zoom right in)

This was the place where troops from these two US Army units departed Germany for operation Blue Bat. Largest NATO/ US operation between the Korean war and the Viet Nam war

Don´t go there with N reg unless you have a noice certificate from EU country....instead of the promised "80-90 €," it cost me 282!

Order the bus in advance and it is there....otherwise, city bus to train and train direct to Munich every hour.

The German Army uses this field for their Airborne and Air School (Luftlande- und Lufttransportschule, LL/LTS).

Is it possible to get a bus from the airport to Munich? If not can you make a suggestion using public transport.

The aircraft manufacturer Dornier Flugzeugwerke (later Fairchild-Dornier) was located at Oberpfaffenhofen from the 1950s until 2002, when Fairchild-Dornier went bankrupt. This is still a major location for the German Aerospace Centre (DLR):

This base figured prominently in 20th-century history. It was the primary pilot training centre for the Luftwaffe during World War II, and later, the site of the Munich massacre at the 1972 Olympic games:

It's just about the 50th anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster, when 8 members of the British Manchester United football (soccer) team and 15 other people died during a failed takeoff from this airport on a slushy runway:

The airport closed in 1992 and has been redeveloped, with only the control tower and a terminal building left.

Beautifull location in southern Germany, friendly relaxed ATC
