Good day all, I just signed up on this splendid community and desired to say hi there! Have a wonderful day!

Incredible. nurnbergmilitaryarea.com kicks ass.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone remembers Gisbert Karl Metzig. He was stationed in the Army as an SP4 in Feucht or Nuernberg in the late 50's. He died in 1960. I was two when he died; I never knew him. Is there anyone out there that remembers him? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I lived in Feucht until 1974; I actually met some guys that were stationed there in the early 70's. One of them was David, just can't remember his last name. We used to go partying at this one popular club, just can't remember the name of that either. Thank you and bye!

Assigned E Co 3/58th Avn in the tower 71L to SFC Hulit from Nov 1987 to Aug 1988. I loved flying in the helicopters. It was a blast working on Feucht and living on the German economy. They moved me up to Grafenwoehr Aug 1989 and I got out of the military in Dec 1990. I moved back to Texas summer of 1993, been here ever since. I now work for the wounded warriors on Ft. Hood as a GS Civilian.

Hi There

i've just joined here and wanted to say hi to all of you!I really hope to give something back to this board...

Cheers

Wow! The memoroies come flooding back. Pretty emotional. I was in AVUM Troop (35K Avionic Mechanic) from Oct. '85 to Apr. '87 with John Bell, John Tijerina (TJ), and Tom Horan. Miss those guys.

Goodkin,

Death rides a pogostick, as I recall what us Savage troopers used to say. I was at FAAF for 1989-1991 period, shipped over to Desert Storm/Shield with "Little Buddy 6" as CO. Things I remember about FAAF? Sgt. Powell was the biggest a**hole I ever met, and Rich Henry getting us arrested by the polizei. That, and the Irish Pub where I first learned to love tequila and Guinness. I wonder what ever happened to my little blue Ford Taunus...I never knew a 1.6 L engine could do 193 km/hr on the way to Rotenburg!

Served with air cav in Merril Barracks
from Oct 1967 to Feb 1969 I can't remember when we moved out to the airfield but I remeber pulling guard out there. Had a good time going up with some of the warrent officers on a Sunday afternoon in the little bell choopers flying over some of the nudist colonies.

Which i was scouting around at this page and find it to be really valuable. I would greatly value all assistance.

I was in P Trp. 4/2 ACR as an AO(93B)from June 1990 to April 1991 after the deactivation of my unit in Garlstedt(D Trp 2/1 Cav). I wasn't there very long, but enjoyed my time there thoroughly.

I was an OH-58 IP from 76-79, and had a fantastic time at FAAF. Would like to hear from anyone from that time frame. As someone else noted, it would be great to turn back the clock and revisit those times.

Looking for old comrades
1984 to 1985

I was stationed at Feucht from 85-87, with the ATC Company and worked in the little shop on the other side of the runway. Was Roomates with Ron Robinson and another guy who's name escapes me.

A Blast from the past - I had the time of my life there at Fuecht and think about everyone pretty often. I remember the Irish Pub, the Green Goose, Trips in Mayo's truck, snowboarding, Linz, Mayo, Otto, Scott, and a whole host of others who's names escape me at the present time.

I hope everyone is doing well, please feel free to email me - gogginjohn@hotmail.com

Was a medic with 2acr. Spent alot of time at Feucht. Hung out with the firemen there. Crazy pilots,made me air sick more than once.

Hallo, I was born and raised in Feucht; I moved to the U.S. when I was a teenager in 1974. I'm trying to find out information about my father that passed away when I was around two years old; I think he died anywhere between 1959 and 1961. He was in the German Army. His name was Gisbert Karl Metzig and he would have been 19 or so years of age when he passed away. I know nothing about him and I would like to find out anything I possibly can. If there is anyone out there that may have known him or has information, I would be so happy. Since I don't have enough information about him all of my internet searches have come up empty. Thank you

served with 2nd acr 71-73 right after nam was some of the best times of my life. went back to nurnberg in 2002 couldn't believe they put american fast food inside the castle walls.

Hey troops! I was there in AVUM Trp, 2CAS, 2ACR, from Jan. 1984 'til Feb. 1986, in the Engine Shop with Jerry Ramirez, Joel Bales, Andy Agar, and dozens of others from Allied Shops.

I got out in 1990, and still live in the Nürnberg area, and work at the Nürnberg Airport.

There is absolutely nothing left of the Nürnberg Military Area as we knew it. Feucht Airfield is primarily a freight sorting building from the post office, the runway has been torn out, the hangar belongs to the Nürnberg Symphony, and our small shops hangar is a tire shop, and the barracks there are full of immagrants. Merrill Barracks has been remodelled (looks good), and the main builing belongs to the German political system. The rest has been torn down, and other things built on the property.

It would be great to hear from anyone from FAAF and the Cav, so drop me a line!

Best regards to all! Always Ready Sir!
Dennis Baker

Was with AVUM, then Bravo, AH-1S mechanic and crew chief.

Well, where do I begin :) was there from 84-85, Air Trp. I was a gun runner in the armt section. Knew a few of the 58 guys who worked across the room from us.
Spent a many nights at the Rock Haus. While in the fld I was with 3rh Herd. Went through many changes, Air Trp to HHT to Avum. The list of friends are to many to list. if you know mw drop a line.

Looking for any of the "Army Punks" from 84-88.

So far Tom Hasenhauer, John Cantrell, Alan Alred, Mike Fundaro, Kelly Mcginnis and myself..Where the hell are the rest of you?

Great site. Seeing pictures of the airfield is really great. I was with the 2d ACR July 67 till Oct 68. In 1967 the airfield was still in the old location (a mile from M Barracks, near the lake & coliseum. The runway was used for other purposes from 1935-1945). The West German govt built FAAF to get us out of there because our aircraft made too much noise (especially on week ends and alerts). We had to clear out by midnight 12/31/1967. The word was that the mayor of Nurnberg had made an election promise to have the ARMEE out there before the New Year and to keep the natives happy we spent the last week of December 1967 moving our aircraft: 9 O-1, 2 U-6, 5 H-34, 4 UH-1 and equipment to the just completed FAAF. Several aircraft were flown on "test flight", luckily they made it and put back on red X again. Does any one have pictures of the old location to post ?

Almost Forgot.....A Troop 2 CAS (Wild Boars) Dec 85 to Dec 87..."Always Ready Sir!!"

WOW!!!!! Hi Jon Crawford and Teddy and Rob Meador and anyone else I swilled a Patrizier with. Man I'm sitting here thinking about those good ole days in the "Trouser Pet" Army. Docekal and Spanky Nidiffer need to sign on!! Glad to see some old guys like me still alive and kicking.....

Hey guys we need to get signed up on these new Multiply pages. These pages will link us all together. There's one for each kaserne, plus one for the main site. The more members we have, the higher in the search engine standings we'll be.

I was an Air Force Weather Observer, stationed at Feucht AAF from July 1974 through July 1977, working under the "3rd Major of the Detachment", Major Larry Wallace (known by many to be "a Marine in an Air Force Uniform"!). At that time, Col Hudachek was "the Colonol of the Regiment" and the accent was upon numerous field training exercises involving the Combat Support Troop (UH-1s) and the Attack Helicopter Troop (Cobras). As my unit's Tactical Training NCO, I was in charge of "Nimbus" (our APC), along with a couple of "grunts" (a Track Vehicle Driver and a Radio Teletype Operator). The copter pilots will remember the colorful presentations of TSgt Robert Hall (one of our Weather Forecasters).

Served at FAAF during and just after Desert Storm (1990-1991) as a Captain assigned first to the S-3 (MAJ MacDonald) and then as the Nomad Troop Commander during the drawdown. Served with some great pilots and crewchiefs. Still have the unopened bottle that the Warrent Officers gave me at our drawdown party. I keep hoping to drink it with some of those good men someday.

A Troop 2 CAS ,, Wild Boars 83-86
i got out in 97 , and am now an expatriate living in denmark, and im at work right now in norway, i visited FAAF and Merril barracks last year with my family.. i will try to add some pictures soon,. i got a real fine tour of the new german import tax office now in whats left of the barracks, our cav colors are still flying, and the tower at the airfield is still standing,..otherwise its all just a memory. email me if ya like , im always ready sir, toujour pret all

I was stationed with the 2ACR from '85 to Dec '87. Roles I played was assistant S3, S3, and Echo (later renamed Outlaw) Cav Troop Commander. I loved that assignment. Great flying along the Iron Curtain, super cavalry troopers "Always Ready." Broke my leg sliding into second base at a unit softball game. CSM Carmichael, Bill Compton and Manny Mejias, where are you guys? I'm now retired (LTC) and living and working in Green Bay.

Was part of the drawdown after 2nd ACR returned from Iraq. Aug 91-Apr 93 (if memmory serves). Moved up to Giebelstadt rest of tour.

I've never beeen there...but my ancesters are from Germany. I've often wondered if the town was named for our family. As I understand it...the family sold thier grist mill (family biz) and fled the country. Landed in Wisconsin, from there we spread out to the west. There are still folks in Wisconsin too. If anyone knows any more please let me know.

I was stationed at FAA from 1982 until 1984. I worked in Flt Ops with Air Troop. It was a fantastic time.

Great to see a web site dedicated to all Nuremburg Military Community.

Hello All!

What a blast to find this web page!! I was at FAAF from Aug 85 - Feb 87. Man, that was a great time! I was in AVUM, worked on Cobra's. Anyone else remember these names? "Jimmy Evans, Marc Davis, "Downtown Brown, Paul Zonghetti, Robert Mitchell, Christian Walker, Paul Lavoy, Rodney St. Peter, Allen Holcomb".. man, I could go on for DAYS!! How about the "Green Goose!!" I STILL have my card!!

I'd love to hear from anyone that was there at the same time.

Very best regards to all,

Jon Crawford

Was stationed at Feucht from June of 87 until April of 91. Assigned to Delta/Nomad Troop during that time as a Cobra Pilot. Enjoyed flying the Hof sector and catching the occasional Mi-24 and the rare footprints in the snow coming over the fence to our side. Lots of great memories while at Feucht and the wonderful countryside from the air!

While the skills acclimatized to earn them are certainly powerful, it is the unrevealed system lower down that transforms the bracelets from sheer jewelry into stories.
In this pack, the copper old for the bracelets was indeed the outer jacket of a 155mm artillery hull — the remnants of war, unfortunately, that are as much a section of Cambodia's recital as Angkor Wat.
What has happened here has a warm-hearted of virtuoso to its elemental beauty. Etching the patterns of the primeval last alters the figurative patterns of Cambodia's more just out and upsetting prior into something sure: skills and incomes for victims of genocidal conflict.

I was a proud member of Air Troop 2nd ACR from Dec81 to July85.I worked in the engine shop with a great group of aviation mechanics. My time in Germany is one of great memories that will never be forgotten.

"Toujours Pret"

I was assigned to Air Troop of the 2ACR. I was a CWO helicopter pilot right from Viet Nam, served at Feucht from 1970 to 1971. I flew the Hof section of the border. Being single I got a lot of weekend duty, so to reduce the boredom I would climb to 10,000'+ and wander around the sky pretending I was lost; the 'Reds' would scramble a pair of MIGs hoping to intercept me if I crossed the border but just before the border I would drop straight down to 50' and start my patrol. What the heck, if I had to fly weekends why not them!!!! My callsign was Firebird 17. It was a wild and crazy time. I had a ration card for gas, booze and smokes; Americam Bourbon was great to barter with. Had my old second hand VW fixed for three bottles of cheap bourbon.

I was a proud member of P Troop 4/2 ACR from 1987-1991. I loved every minute of my stay at FAAF. I love and miss all of the people to this day !! I have never worked with a better bunch of folks then I did during my four years in the 4/2 ACR. I'll never forget them, or Feucht. Hands down we were the best of the best in Army Aviation !!

Klinton vs. Obama. How you think who will win elections in USA?

Served there from 1982 tru 1985. Was in Air Troop, 3rd Flight as a Platoon Sgt and with C Troop 4/2 ACR. SHOUT OUT to the pilots and crewchiefs assigned there during that period.

I was stationed at FAAF '88 - '90. I was a Blackhawk mechanic that rarely worked on helicopters there. I worked in the mailroom and in Graf. mostly. I think my main job was to stay in trouble. I do however have very fond memories of FAAF, the people and Nurnberg. Thanks everyone for the pics and memories.

For all who used to go to the EM/NCO/OFFICERS Clubs:

My two bands ("Six Pack" and "Gordy Thomas and CREW") used to play all around Southern Bavaria.

I've written a lot of songs since then, and anyone is welcome to download the free .mp3 files listed on my site at gordythomas.com please disregard the fact that there are also song files for sale on the page, as it is not my intent to get you to buy anything. I just thought some of the FOB (Friends of The Bands) might be interested in hearing what I've been doing in Nashville.

And to all combat veterans, "Welcome Home!"

Served in S Troop, but had the privilege of flying with alomost all the other troops during the border traces.

Great unit, great friends.

Toujours Pret!

I had no idea there was a website for where I was staioned! I want to say hello to everyone I served with and I hope you are doing well.

i was there from Feb 1989-Aug 1991, in "T" troop as a helicopter TI, had some good times and bad times. met some great people. retired 1SG from the 82d airborne divisions aviation brigade in 2004, would like to go back to Feucht and go to the lake! LMFAO,
seriously, it was a very good unit whom i am very proud to have served in. hindsight is 20/20.

I was stationed on the airfeild from May 87 to May 89 in AVUM troop. Avionics tech with Sgt. Horan & Sgt Bell. Spent several nights in Graf and Hoenfelds (I think that's how it's spelld). I was there when the unit switched from Hueys to Blackhawks and switched from U.S. soldiers pulling guard duty on the airfield to German soldiers pulling guard. Anyone remember FASA guard?

Just wanted to update my e-mail.

I was at Merrell Barraks,and worked out at FAAF ftom DEC 81 TO dEC 83.

I was stationed at Merrell Barracks/worked at FAA from Nov. 81-April 83.

stationed at FAAF 1990-1992. Proud to be one of the last five to leave in 1992. I recognized one name in the guestbook. Linz, remember me? Q-troop. They called me "stump" back in the day! How is the leg?

Was stationed at FAAF from 1990 to 1992 through Desert Storm as a Cobra Armament Tech. T Trp. 4/2 ACR

Gotta Luv it! Stationed at Feucht from 9/86 to 9/89. Great people, great unit. I'll always have memories of 4/2 ACR and all the Troops.

Cool site! I was stationed at FAAF from 1987-1991. O trp. 4/2 ACR. What a party! Cold beer tasted better in a cold war. I miss all the cool people, but I don't miss Graf at all. Prost!

Was at FAAF '81-'82. Have a lot of fond memories from there. I remember Pineapple. I was in 2nd platoon with him. That guy was a hoot.

This brings back old memories. I serverd at FAA from 1984-86. I was the the supply clerk and then the XO's driver (Maj. Clapp). Lot of fun times there. If anyone else served there during the same time, feel free to e-mail me.

I was stationed at FAAF back in 11/86 to 3/88 in HHT 4/2 ACR. Sure miss those days and a shout out to all!!!!

I had been stationed at Feucht Army Airfield from January 1979 to August 1980 assigned to the 240th ATC Co. duty as control tower operator. I had been billeted at Merrell Barracks during that period of time with a view overlooking the intersection of Allersberger str and Franken str. It was a still a great place to be with memeries that I will never forget. I'd like to hear from anybody that was stationed there during that period of time.

Great looking website. Was never stationed at Feucht Army Airfield but was there several times.

I spent two years of my life on the airfield. Enjoyed it very much. Lived at Merrell barracks. I was stationed there from Aug. 83- Aug. 85. Anybody else there then, give me a yell.

Welcome all to the Feucht Army Airfield Guestbook. Hope everyone signs to let us know you were here.
