General

Landstuhl last was home to a Company with 15 UH-60As, designated C company 1-214th AVN (formerly 236th MedCo). This was not a place to hang around all day (there was no need and security would not let you) but it was a nice add-on for a visit to Ramstein air base. Do not confuse this location with the helispot of the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, 1 mile (1.6km) to the east.

Landstuhl was closed as a heliport in 2014, the Army unit moved to Grafenwöhr.

Layout

This very compact base is part of a larger military hospital area. It features a simple layout, a ramp with helipads, a manoeuvring area and a couple of small hangars on the southwest side.

Getting There

When driving from Ramstein Air Base into Landstuhl village (using the L395) go past the railway bridge and turn right at the trafic lights. After the roundabout go past the Autobahnbridge (A62) and turn left. Do not enter the Autobahn but continue the road uphill (road number L470), and after a few kilometers you will see the base on your left.

Around the Airport

1Access and east view

From this spot you are able to see helicopters on the platform. Reading is possible, although large parts of the fence have been covered here. To get here just pass the field after the satellite dishes, go straight ahead in the bend and park your car on the right.

2North view

It is possible to walk around the facilities. From the northern side, additional views can be had, including a look into hangars if they are open. Photography is possible too, but be advised that security is a little jumpy every now and then.

Taken from spot 2, this Medevac UH-60 was one of several sitting on the concrete at Landstuhl. (Sander Vlekke)
