This army base in central Germany is not visited often. Obviously, the barely readable serials of the local helicopters may have to do with this. Furthermore, it is not near many other aviation sights of interest. However, the Tigers are not to be seen at many other places so a trip here can be well worth it.
Before the arrival of the Tigers, all activity took place from the north side of the east-west runway. Various hangars still border the ramps there, but on the south side a new complex was erected to house the more modern helicopters. The actual ramp layout might differ slightly from what is represented on our map.
The base is located south of the town of Fritzlar. The easiest way to get there is to use highway A49 from Kassel South. Take exit 'Wabern' and head east. This will take you onto the B253 south of the base.
On a gloomy day in 2013, Alexander Lutz caught this Tiger at spot 1.
At spot 2, you can see helicopoters - Tigers nowadays - hovering with a magnificent backdrop. (Oliver Jonischkeit)
