Ah... memories. I used to sit on the couch in my third-floor
living room in Hahn Housing's 14-B-3 and watch the noisy F-4s
pass first by the right window, then the left, taking off from
the runway a few hundred feet away, as B-327 curved around the
perimiter. Later, Vogelweh was too far from Ramstein to enjoy
the same treat.

John T. - Bitburg 75-77, Hahn 77-80, Ramstein 81-85.
(There's almost a year at Seymour Johnson in there,
too: 80-81.)

Ah yes, memories.... getting my teeth rattled while trying to sleep in a
baracks room facing the red section end of the runway at Hahn. 1978 - 1980

You might have gotten a little more than noise there.
Two Tab Vee spots in Red Section overlooked the base
chapel - where the SPs often lay in wait with a radar
speed gun. WCS toads would zap the crystals in the
speed guns with live pulse and CW at every opportunity.
It was considered a public service...
