2:10....that was my jet when I was there in 93-95, i was 3rd wipe on it when it came brand new from General Dynamics, all those came in late 93 into 94. I separated in Aug.95, I no doubt know people in this video. 414 is now w/Duluth ANG. Hard to tell but pilot at 10:00 looks like Capt.Craig Leavitt, good guy.
Thank you for uploading these nice impressions . I always loved to see the tails of the F-15 with the "BT" on it, when i drove with my parents on the public road near the airbase.
This had to have been when Spangdahlems runway was being resurfaced because Bitburg closed shortly after we arrived at Spang in 93. I don't remember the F-16's flying off of Bitburgs runway during the resurfacing project. The F-16's flew off of the parallel taxiway because we had to install Mobile Aircraft Arresting Systems (MAAS) on the parallel. We also had to install two MAAS on Bitburgs runway but I only remember the F-15's flying out of there.
I was stationed there 83-85. POL. I drove R9s and worked the hot pits. Hope to see my old stomping grounds late Sept when my wife and I visit my son and his wife in Spang!

So were those F-16s actually Barons?
Did they use the HAS sites as well? I'm assuming yes.
Bitburg was never an AFB. It was an AB.
Man you know what they actually meant.....🤫🙄

Very noisy, spent 3yrs at Hahn with them, my dorm was 200 yards from the hanger.
