unfortunatly the recievers around you at Goch, isnt very many if none at all, and where no Reciever are,. then no

Look forward to meeting all who visit EDLM,. Hope you dont forget to switch on your ADS-B Transponders.

Nice field near beach
The field is only a few km from nice beaches.
Runway 27 downwards a bit, but runways always cut like a golf field!

Airport Beacon Location
Where on the airport is the Aerodrome Beacon (to direct pilots to the airport from the air at night) located, does it rotate or flash, and what color(s) does it display?

re: Remaining runway
It looks like the foundations for the approach light system to me.
Remaining runway
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)
re: Airport Weeze
How right you are.
Airport Weeze
When will it be referred to by its correct name: Airport Weeze (EDLV)? It is no longer RAF Laarbruch, nor is it Niederrhein Aiport, nor is it in Goch. It belongs to the City of Weeze.
flight training
Do you know if this airport has a flight school? If so, do you know if it accepts American citizens or do I have to be a German citizen?
re: Closing all operations
Wikipedia says:
The airport is currently closed to air-traffic, although the concrete paved runway has been designated for use by cargo flights in the event of an emergency. There is an aerospace museum on site.
Closing all operations
As far as I know this airport is completely closed.

Friendly airfield; ATC chap has private car hire. Restaurant "Schnitzell Tower" serves beer and more variety of schnitzell than you can eat in a year!
RAF Laarbruch
I learned to fly sailplanes here while it was still RAF Laarbruch in 1987.
My time at Spangdahlem Air Base
I was stationed at Spangdahlem Air Base from February,1971 thru November,1973 and I would appreciate having a history of the base from that time frame . If anyone can help me with my request I certainly would appreciate your help . In addition to bringing back memories of my time spent at Spangdahlem Air Base I hope to be able to get in touch with the other Airmen that I was stationed with for a reunion . Thank You kpshedd@comcast.net

Free coffee and hot chocolate
Lufthansa supplies free self-serve coffee and hot chocolate in their waiting area. The cups are tiny, but you can get as many refills as you want, and the machine makes a wide variety of coffee types. If only they offered free WiFi as well ...
Training school
The German Army uses this field for their Airborne and Air School (Luftlande- und Lufttransportschule, LL/LTS).

Steinstuecken Helipad
I guess the US finally did something, where were they in June 1953 when we were totally cut off from West Berlin for about ten weeks when the Russians marched in during the East German uprising. It wasn't great to be treated as animals thereafter either nor hearing East Germans being shot by Russians soldiers either. May they rest in Peace.

Formerly RAF Gütersloh
This airstrip was formerly RAF Gütersloh. The British Army took it over after the RAF's withdrawl, and now uses it as a helicopter and signals base.
nice airport
Nice place. been skydiving there.
Helipad in Steinstücken
Steinstücken was west-exclave in DDR. This helipad was used by US army from 1961 to 1989.
Bus transfers.
Is it possible to get a bus from the airport to Munich? If not can you make a suggestion using public transport.
CFB Lahr (EDAN?)
This airport used to be a Canadian Forces Base. The airport was used mostly for the frequent flights to and from Canada and for intra-Europe flights. In the 1980s and into the early 90s, the aircraft hardened shelters were used as an army garrison. One of the hard shelter areas was used by 444 Sqn, a tactical helicopter squadron flying the CH-136 Kiowa. I think that the ICAO code was EDAN at that time; I have no idea why it was changed. Even if the vocation of the airport changed drastically, I see no reason to change the ICAO code...

Nice airport
Nice little airport, with a gentle service of the airfield operators.
History: Berlin Air Lift
The Berlin Air Lift, "Operation Vittles", started here in 1948 with USAAF C-47 and C-54 cargo planes flying supplies into the now-closed Berlin-Templehof airport. Rhein-Main Air Base joined as the main C-54 depot, and the British flew missions from several bases in the Hamburg area. France joined the airlift later.
History: Rhein-Main Air Base
The southern half of the field was originally the Rhein-Main Air Base, which was the main hub for U.S. military airlifts in and out of Europe (it closed in 2005). It was also one of the main departure points for the Berlin Airlift, serving as the principal C-54 depot.
Dornier and German Aerospace Centre
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):
History
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:
Munich Air Disaster, 1958
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.

Middle of flippin nowhere
I flew Ryanair out of this airport once. You have to take a bus from Frankfurt to get here -- it's about a two-hour ride -- and it leaves at 5am. I slept on a bench in the train station. Good times.
Scheduled to close
Along with Berlin-Tempelhof (THF), Tegel is scheduled to be replaced by an expanded Berlin-Schönefeld (SXF -- to be renamed "Berlin-Brandenburg International" around 2011). Tegel and Tempelhof are actually in Berlin, while Schönefeld is further out of town, in the former East Germany.
Expansion
This airport (formerly in East Germany) is expanding to replace Berlin's other two principal airports. In 2011, when its new terminal is scheduled to open, it will be renamed "Berlin-Brandenburg International Airport". The historic Berlin-Tempelhof Airport (THF) is scheduled to close once the new terminal construction is underway, and Berlin-Tegel Airport (TXL) will close six months after the new terminal is complete and the airport is renamed.
Closing
Tempelhof is scheduled to be closed in October 2008.
