Conversion area (Former Rhein-Main Air Base) (Frankfurt am Main)

Former Air Base. Used Frankfurt Airport's runways. Everything US Military related that landed at Frankfurt went through here. Even since shutdown in 06 there still have been things Military related sent through Frankfurt, but most of it got withheld by German customs. Now almost everything goes through Ramstein AB.

  • Now retired Air Base added on to Frankfurt.
  • Future Site Of Future(Not Military)Airport Terminal
  • Home of the 21st Replacement Bn, or 21st Repo Depot. Been there twice. First time in Germany the Bn was downtown Frankfurt. Cool place:)
  • It was called "Rhein-Main U.S. Air Force Base", not spelled "Rhine" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhein-Main_Air_Base
  • I was at the 21st in Jul 1961 when it was located downtown frankfurt near the old military shopping center. I remember it was located next to a building where some catholic nuns were living. It was not on a military kaserne. Does anybody remember this location?
