Hello,

Note that Wednesday 01-05 is a national holiday in Germany (and other countries). This means that quiet hours are in place on that day.
For Ramstein normal operations from 13:00 hours local time.

Yes , but Ramstein is a US airforce base and it isn’t a holiday in the States so I expect normal flying.

Don't get your hope up to much ...

On both German and US holidays quiet hrs are in effect. So don't expect local ( training ) ops only mission requirements. The amount of that changes per day...
Also several notams are in effect that may have a negative impact on overal ops.
