    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!

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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 .

    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.
