Trip around Ramstein Germany

Boring road trip around Ramstein Germany during winter of 1985

[@truttman]

I was stationed there when you did this drive. I was 19. Now 54. Building on left is my dorm at 15:41. This is an incredible trip down memory lane.

[@janpow331]

We lived on the base when I was in first through third grade. 1954 - 1958. Played in the woods across the street from our apt.

[@rosss1959]

Wowwww. This'll definitely have me reminiscing. I was stationed there (Kapaun AB) from 1981 - 1983.

[@egger46]

I sure miss my time in the KMC. Some of the best days of my life! I watch this video a lot to reminisce

[@raoulrudzinski4904]

I was stationed there then. You drove past my dorm at 15:34. Still remember the room number, 320. Thought I’d never see these sights again. Thanks so much!

[@kellyhicks5130]

Thanks for the memories. I was stationed their from 82-85. We lived in Ramstein before base housing. I was Security Police so I worked the gate you went through. You also went by our base housing on the corner before the generals houses. Once again many thanks. Now we get the chance to show our two that were born in Landstuhl where they lived. May God Bless

[@rosss1959]

Ahhhh Landstuhl. I was at Kapaun from 81-83.

[@tonyjohnson6775]

Love the radio playing! Soooo cool!!!! Memories!

[@jbe9724]

I attended Ktown from 1976 until 1980, can't thank you enough for this video....it brought back so many great memories

[@DannyMcKinney79]

Grew up in Ramstein AFB, Germany since the 1980's before I moved to the Northwest Florida called Niceville. We lived 20 miles away from Eglin AFB, FL since the 1990's the time before I graduated from Niceville High School around 1997. My Dad was stationed as a Msgt since I was growing up.

[@launaross7052]

I left in 1989...

[@jenniferbateman2089]

My dad was at USAFE 81-84, when I was grades 5-7. I recognized so many visuals on this drive:the chapel, old BX, theater, Jr. high wow. I never thought I’d see these again-only in my head! Thank you for posting this. The soundtrack was spot on especially Eye of The Tiger!! Perfect.

[@brucerhodes8197]

I was the playground monitor for the elementary school in 1981 during my lunch hour, worked across the MAC pad at 608 MASS.. Admin in the Enroute Maintenance building.. Wore that winter jacket with the hood that closes up in front leaving a small opening... the kids all called me Eskimo Man... lol

[@bergmanf]

Amazing. For every building or intersection that's changed, there's another that's just the same.

[@GreggGiles]

I lived in the apartment building on the left shown around 24:12, just next to Generals Row. My dad was stationed at Miesau Army Depot, we lived on base around ‘78-81. Used to play on Canon Field on the right, and played guns with kids in the woods opposite our building. We used to sneak off base through the fence and go to the nearby town. Fun days. Thanks for sharing this.

[@jeffscott2528]

I there in MMS at the same time. Nice trails to Ramstein Mesinbach.

[@stevenellers1939]

Enjoyed this. I was a USAF Brat and we were there 65-68. Much has changed in the Village and the Base.

[@rcrinsea]

Dad was stationed in Landstuhl from 1971-1976. I was a kid and remember it well. Would love to see a video of Landstuhl now.

[@rencherl1]

[@johnfuller9536]

I think that is me at the RAB West Gate when you enter the base. Thanks!

[@TipsFromABellman]

Thanks for posting ! I was there 1985 to 1989 with the Army . Our barracks were right across from the bowling alley , motorpool was across from the north gym , and our TAC Park was at the end of the runway . I will share with my friends on Facebook . We all talk about how we miss it . Times at Fred's Lounge , NCO Club , buying all that stereo equipment next to Fred's . Off base going to the Starlight , Landstuhl , K-town , etc .

[@tonyjohnson6775]

If I remember correctly my dads office (he was a Chaplain stationed there 83-87) was across the street from the bowling alley looking onto a field/parking lot.

[@evilmilk1]

Nice video, I saw my building in base housing! I grew up there 1976-1983 (K-6 grade). Lots of great memories- thanks!

[@jeffscott2528]

I was there while you were schooling. 6-19-78 to 6-17-80. I was schooled there too!

[@lucky4724]

Wow, felt like I was back on base, was there from "76-78" afsc63150 refueling unit, 86th. TFW !!! Ramp rat !! (POL)(JP4) Shoutout to K-TOWN !!!! #MEMORIES

[@jeffscott2528]

[@tonyjohnson6775]

Was living in Bann above Landstuhl in 1985. My dad was a Chaplain in the Army stationed at Ramstein. I was 9 years old. This brings back memories. Thanks!

[@launaross7052]

We might of went to school together

[@Strat96007]

Thanks for the tour! I was stationed at Ramstein '[68-'70 and had a great time. The base has changed quite a bit but, I recognized some of it. Great job! Thanks again.

[@MemeGreen777]

i was stationed at Ramstein 84-89, lived off-base on Landstuhlerstrasse 79, great times!

[@aarndvddowns]

I was there 67 to 70 26th fms and 38th tactical recon and 409th F4c's

[@ADazzledDazzle]

i live here now. ramstein village looks more or less the same, but the actual base looks *completely* different

[@exploringwithjay4116]

Yeah really they just put it a load of roundabouts

[@maryvillecojc3864]

I was there 1971 to 1974, 26/86th SPS. Many of the buildings still look the same. I did the same thing with an 8 mm movie camera. The film has long since deteriorated. Thanks for the memories.

[@zezelline11]

This is great. My Dad was stationed there from 80-85 and I went to Jr High there. What great memories. Even got to see my old apartment building.

[@colinom98]

Enjoyed that thanks for sharing Looks the same as it did when we were there 66 -69

[@azthundercloud]

Was there 79-82. Wife is from hauptstuhl. Lived in kinsbach alot of memories

[@GregOverland]

82-86 and loved the area. Wish they had homesteading back then.

[@TimTravelling101]

I'm very impressed with the stability of what was obviously a gigantic video tape recorder that you used to film this back in 1985. Also surprising how much in Ramstein Village has not changed even to this day.

[@jeffscott2528]

Must have bought the latest and greatest VHS Recorder. Big as a Boombox.

[@Marc123]

I am still working on ramstein Air Base... so much changed. I really appreciate this video from 85.

[@jeffscott2528]

85? Shit ok, I had been gone 5yrs.

[@jeffsvinylscene]

I forgot how bad people drive in Germany. Lol. Lived there from 1977-1981...i was young but still remember quite a bit

[@kevindouglas4253]

Thanks for the trip around Ramstein! I was EW and lived in the dorm across the street from the NCO Club. Brought back some great memories!!!!!

[@truttman]

CRS dorm was across the street from club. Yep.

[@jeffscott2528]

MMS was across from the Club in 78. I was on the 4th floor overlooking the entrance to the NCO Club.

[@raoulrudzinski4904]

@@truttman Yep! Can confirm. I was CRS. In EW 85-87.

[@jeffcordes1744]

[@shadowfromnv1]

I would love to go back . Dad was stationed there from '66-'71!

[@MikeStoddart]

Thanks - my dad was stationed there and we lived there for a short while in the late 70s. I didn't see anything I recognised.

[@lizzylizard4638]
