Looking through some very old pictures, I came across these that I took in March 91. In a previous life I was Stationed in Germany. At the weekend the airfield was closed and turned over to the gliding club, though ATC remained active for the MATZ. We got a call that all gliders had to land, inbound traffic. Saw this behemoth in the distance and grabbed my camera. I started to wonder over towards the runway, waiting for someone to call me back/say something. I got to about 20 meters from said runway before the pucker factor got the better of me. Still for a point and shoot camera (I have no idea what these where taken with) they came out OK for the time. The scan quality is not so good as the pictures have faded a little.

What a nice catch......can you imagine what you may have done with a serious camera ?......still, you did capture some hidden information which can be brought out by P'shop enhancement.........

It had to turn on the runway and come back up. Gütersloh was a war time base and then developed for fighters in the post war years. A C5 would never get around the northern taxi way, well not without planting a wing in the Station Commanders living room................it would really upset afternoon tea old boy Grin
