Summary

[edit]
Description

Base visit Ahlhorn, 20 October 1992.

71+27 was scrapped. There is a '71+27' (really 71+90) preserved at Holzdorf in the east of Germany.

The shelters on the base used to house a detachment of A-10s of the 81st TFW (Bentwaters/Woodbridge). Ahlhorn was a Forward Operating Location. I saw the A-10s during a visit to HTG-64 in 1986, but they left in 1991.

Hubschraubertransportgeschwader 64 (helicopter wing 64) was based at Ahlhorn in the north west of Germany. Tasks were transport, training, (combat) search and rescue and liaison.

HTG-64 left Ahlhorn in 1993 and was officially disbanded on 1 April 1994. The base is now almost completely covered with 76,000 solar panels. The unit was resurrected and now operates CH-53s from Laupheim.
