General
The base at Bückeburg is home to the CH-53s and EC135s of the Heeresfliegerwaffenschule (HFWS), a training unit for the German Army. The other 'half' of the HFWS can be found at Celle. Furthermore, the Heeresfliegerversuchstaffel 910 (HFVS910) is stationed here with Bo105s. The base is quite open and offers nice spotting opportunities. Photography is possible as well.
In the city of Bückeburg the Hubschrauber Museum Bückeburg is located. A museum dedicated to helicopters which is a nice add-on for a visit to the base.
Layout
All operational activity is located on the North side of the runway. Hangars housing the helicopters are situated along the Northern side of the platform. A grass runway is positioned South of the runway.
Getting There
Arriving via the A2/E30 highway, from Bielefeld to Hanover, you have to exit at exit 35 (Bad Eilsen/Bückeburg). From this exit take road number B83 towards Bückeburg and pass the village. There you will end up at a crossing with road number B65. Take the B65 towards Bückeburg and from there on follow the signs towards the "Heeres-Flugplatz" (it also has a pictogram of a helicopter).
