Howdy,

The video you have posted under the USAF films was taken at Landstuhl AB, Germany. The Luftwaffe took a portion of the Autobahn and made it their runway. I was a C-119 pilot at Neubiberg AB, Ger. at the time and I recognize the airbase surroundings.

This video will confirm the 526th was at Ramstein/Landstuhl
AB, Germany in 1956:

You have a great Web site. Thank you very much.

I was a pilot in the AC-130A Gunship in Vietnam, '68 - '69.
Are you willing to post some video, if I can find some?

Take care.

Cheers - - - Charlie

If it weren't for the United States military,
there'd be NO United States of America.
