    This would be Landstuhl. The road with the orange lights is the Priority Road.

    A night shot of Landstuhl Castle.

    A zoomed in shot of the Flightline. Between lightpole 3 and for (from the left) is Fleet Services (my shop). And next to that is Hanger 5. One of the few hangers that can fit a C-5 in it and close the doors.

    The three tall lights here are at the hot cargo pad. This is where any planes go that have explosive material on them.

    A zoomed in shot of Landstuhl. The next set of lights is Kindsbach, and the lights at the upper left are for Einsiedlerhof.

    This is the McDonald's sign that I was trying to get a shot of from my balcony. Neither one really turned out all that well.

    This is a small (really small) dirt road. I really wish I could hold the camera steadier.

    Same shot, a little bit different angle (just tilt your head), but this one is much clearer.

    These were taken just to show how narrow some of the roads can be here.

    I figured out if you set the camera on the car, it makes it so I don't get blurry shots.

    Notice the reflection of the buildings on the car.

    These next couple pictures were of a building in Einsiedlerhof that had a lake in front of it (well I guess it is more like a pond). Anyway I thought the picture looked really cool.

    There were actually a lot more than three pictures. It was unbelievable hard to get a steady picture of this place. There was a chain link fence in front of it, and my camera never wanted to focus on the building itself.

    I just haven't figured out which one looks the best to remove it. How I ended up taking the picture was balancing a Gatorade bottle on top of my flashlight battery, and putting the camera at a point on the fence where you wouldn't see the fence itself.

    I was trying to get a picture of the light coming off of these lights, but this is all that turned out. And I am a pack-rat of sorts, so I have a really hard time deleting things, including pictures.

    Ok... the day shot of the Flightline. You like our makeshift lake?? (We had a lot of rain.) My dorms are on the right side just left of the white hanger.

    Landstuhl, Kindsbach, and Einsiedlerhof, with a little bit of Kaiserslautern in the background.

    A better view of Lanstuhl.

    I think the town here is Ramstein-Meisenbach, but I could be wrong. Notice the windmills in the background. They are scattered all over the place.

    Another view of Landstuhl and the base.

    Wow... I guess some of my pictures get pretty repetitive.

    Landstuhl Castle. Not much to look at compared to some of the others.

    Notice the immense amount of trees here. It is this way all over the place. And you get the occasional town scattered in the mix.

    It is hard to see but in this picture you have a C-130 taking off. It is easier to see it if you look at the runway and find the shadow, and then look up. It kinda blends in with the trees.

    That C-130 in the air.

    Slowly moving off in the distance. There were more taking off and I think I was trying to get more, but on such a small LCD screen on the camera, I guess I missed it.

    I did get all three here. They have missions like this a lot, where they will have three or four take off in quick succession.
