This is Fort Zuidwijkermeer from the Defence Line of Amsterdam (Stelling van Amsterdam). This fort is near Beverwijk.
So bitburg housing is closed I enjoyed our four years there 1998/2002 606 asox
Great video, I was at Spangdahlem 93-95, best 2 years I had in the USAF, Germany is awesome. I visited Bitburg Commissary many times as I lived in Orenhofen, I believe it's the building at 2:00. It's hard to get oriented on this video but I recognize the tower on the middle left at 1:03, it's where you dumped out into Bitburg town. I took my EMT course on Bitburg in 94, I visit every few years to see German friends there, man I miss that country. Bitburg is all but abandoned on the housing side last I knew and the operational side was thriving w/German businesses occupying the buildings and shelters there. Man I just loved my time there.
Just sad that up untill today nothing happend with this place....... Most of the locals wish the americans never left Bitburg...
Ein Land ohne LKW?? Wie kommen die Güter zu den Läden?
I was 5 years old and lived in apt 50-C-3
Military Brat here too! Miss this place, still see it in my dreams from time to time. The housing. I still remember when President Reagan drove around the housing area while my siblings did our best to keep up. And my Lord the food. This place will forever be apart of me.
Oh, what memories!! We were stationed at Spangdahlem from 1973-1975. Our son was born in May 1975 at the Bitburg base hospital. I was 21, now 70 and would give my right arm to go back one more time. Thanks for the video!
I I live near Bitburg, I drove past there yesterday. I only know the base as closed. As a child I always wondered what kind of buildings they were. I would like to find out more about what life was like there. Thanks for the video.
It was lots of hard work, jet engine noise, and lots of fun traveling around Germany and Europe when you were able to. I think there were over 3,000 service members and their families there when the base was fully operational. So all of those buildings you were wondering about were to support the the operation of the Fighter Wing and housing and taking care all those fine military members and their families who were lucky enough to get stationed there.
@@martinlukin2691 Very interesting. Thank you for your answer. I'll drive past there one of these days and look at it all from a distance. My mother and my aunt used to visit friends there from time to time. My aunt met her husband there. At the end of the 90s I saw tanks and jet fighters at the airfield. But I was still very small then.
@@keviipiano6375 I had a German girlfriend when I was there. Her name was Sylvia. If I had stayed in Germany, we probably would have gotten married. But, understandably, she couldn't bring herself to leave Bitburg and I lost her when I left. You are a very lucky person to have been born there. Be thankful every single day. That was by far the very best Air Base the U.S. Air Force ever had in my humble opinion.
@@martinlukin2691 Thank you for your story. Yes, my aunt is German and after she met her husband there, they moved to Texas. When I stand in front of the fence now, it is unimaginable that there was once so much life there. My mother once told me about a shopping center there where she always ate American chocolate. In 2021, I was in the Barons' gym, that's where the Corona vaccinations were.
@@keviipiano6375 Yes the Base Exchange shopping center shown at about 2:56 in the video is where many people shopped and purchased things. Here is a link to a video from 1992 which will give you a good idea of what it was like back then (ruclips.net/video/dzLQX1NKet4/видео.htmlfeature=shared). That parking lot was almost always full of cars and taxis for hire. There was also the Commissary shown at 1:47 that sold every type of food product imaginable. It was a large grocery store. I believe it was still operational up until 2013. At 0:38 you can see both the Base Exchange in the background and the Commissary in the foreground and how they were situated next to each other. This video only shows the housing side of the base where the families resided. I lived on what we called the flightline side of the base where all the operations buildings, runway, jets, and dormitories for single airmen like myself were housed. It was located up the road and across some farmers fields. A good portion of that side of the base is open to the public and you can drive through it now. Some German businesses are operated out of some of the old Air Force buildings. I believe the housing side shown in this video is gated and locked down. You can see it through fences, but can't travel through it anymore. You have a wonderful day.
So many great memories
Air Force brat, lived Bitburg housing and school from 1962-1965. 8th 9th and part of 10th grades. We lived right across from the teen club. Rode shuttle bus from housing to base quit a few times even got my first summer job working for the base civil engineer. Will never forget Germany, nice and friendly people.
I can see my old house from the first shot. The first cul-de-sac on the left, base commander lived at the end of that near the tree-line.
i want to drive these streets again these are the first memories i have as a baby ad my father was stationed in spangdahlem and we visited bitburg often... what are they going to turj this place into now? it's alot of space that could be used for cool creative things
I lived in the Bitburg Housing Complex from 1999-01, when it housed many of the airmen who commuted on the B-50 to work at Spangdahlem, AB. I was an airman journalist working for AFN Eifel (named for providing military news to the German province of Eifel-Prum). Our studios were in the old French Caserne part of the complex. Now, I hear AFN Eifel is AFN Spangdahlem and was relocated to the main base. One of my news beats was covering the Bitburg DODDS High School, also located with in the complex.
Spang was my first duty station from 2009-2011. I have fond memories of taking the bus from spang to Bitburg and going to the commissary and BX over there. Sad to see it all closed down. Brough back some really good memories, thanks for posting.
Very cool. Thank you for posting this. My dad taught school there from 1978-80. Our first year we lived in Rittersdorf, but then moved into base housing. I don't recall which building though.
Wow, this brings back memories of my childhood. My dad was stationed in Bitburg, I remember living on the 3rd floor in one of the complexes. There's something fraternal about life on bases with other military kids. We were one big family, no clicks, no gangs, no crime, no race bullsh't. 6 kids and we to this day count our time in the small town of Irrel as our most memorable. Whenever the airforce kids in Irrel had a day off from school we would head for the hills to look for artifacts from the war, explore bunkers, the Plume river, Devils Canyon and forests from sunup to sundown. Truly an awesome 3yrs out of the 22 my dad served
Watching this almost brought me to tears. I was an Air Force Brat, and we were there from 88-91. I graduated from Bitburg American High School in 91. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I lived in base housing from 1953 to 1956. My dad was stationed at Spangdhalem and part the active SAC crews. I started kindergarten and then we moved when I was in 2nd grade back stateside. I MISS Bitburg an ha very fond memories even 70 years later.
Damn man. My dad was stationed here so we were here from mid 2003 to mid 2007. I was only 8 when we got there. Lived in bldg 26 (3:53 bottom left corner) F3 until we moved to C1. Went to elementary and middle school (0:52 left side light tan roof) here and was always at the AYA (0:52 bottom right hand corner) after school until I got old enough to go to the teen center instead. Would go back to 2003 in a heartbeat if I could man. Thanks for posting this frfr
Most military service members who were stationed there have very fond memories of Bitburg. I was one of them. I was an F-15 Eagle maintainer at Bitburg AFB with the 53rd AMU from 1989-1991. It was, without a doubt, two of the best years of my life. Working on the coolest aircraft ever built and traveling all over Europe. Life was Really Good!!!
Thank you for giving us drivers safe jets. We are eternally grateful.
I was one of your drivers 87-90 so we overlapped a bit. I left august 1990. 4008 had my name on it for a while.
@@datamasked8632 I was a hydraulics troop for most of the two years I was there (5/89 to 5/91), so I wasn't ever assigned to a specific aircraft. I worked on them all and had a blast doing it!!! After the Gulf War started I was trained as a Crew Chief, but don't recall the aircraft I was assigned to. I much preferred the hydraulics work. Thanks for the reply.
I was born here, but have no memories of the place. I have always had a desire to visit. My mom only tells me the same stories of Luxembourg.
1981 WAS THERE NOW AS AVET LIVING ON THE STREET
I was there from 93-97. Goodtimes....-Omari
Офигенное видео
I went to the Hugh School in base graduated 2012. Damn this brought back memories
Wow magical. Kindergarten-5th grade and i still remember it all. The Aya back in the day was amazing. Especially during the summer
I loved it!! Thank you!!!
I lived on the base in the dorms. Spent a lot of time at base housing and the shops. It looks good 30 years later for me. Still sad. One of the experiences of my life.
I was just there mid Aug 2024. base housing was locked down. A lot was overgrown brush at the gate. On the main side, so much was changed. I was in the dorm across from the old post office. That dorm looks like low income housing with a Pizzaria inside. It is what it is. Sort of sad but was nice to be back. It was a beautiful, warm sunny day. Downtown was the same as the 90s but updated and clean.
ich liebe solche Autofahrten von daheim aus
That 3 story white building in middle of tour,was HOME! 2years DUTY,FUN,and LOVE.
Best years of my life were spent there.. this makes me sad (2004-2008)
I spent almost 10yrs of my life on this base. 💖 I miss Germany every day.
as if nothing ever happened at all.
My dad was stationed there from 79 to 82. I was there from 8th grade to 11th....lots of my classmates are all in touch on facebook. The military brat world is like no other connection. I saw the building we lived in and the high school.....memories for a lifetime. I've watched this many times.....never gets old. Thanks for the memories!
As a Brit serviceman, I got Space A for a night in the officer's mess here in 1982. Sadly, couldn't locate it on the video.
@@James-gf9jl This video is only the housing side of the base. The officer's mess was located across the field on the flightline side of the base where dorms were located.
I was stationed there 80-83. I remember the name Pfeiffer. I may have known your father. If I recall, I used to call him "P'feiffer, making the "P" obvious. If he was the same guy. If it was him, he was a very neat guy, big grin and very happy go lucky person. You could not help but like him. (My old boomer brain thinks "Mark" was his first name, but it's been a while, and memories are getting hazy now...) If so, I may also have been at Eglin/Hurlbert same time, as well, and worked with him later in the early 2000s.
@@martinlukin2691 Thanks.
Great video, I lived in 18C4. If I recall correctly.
I was there as a child 1965. Looking at the housing took me back. Perhaps u could help me with an incident at that time or were to search.
I was there from 86 to 88 but I never went on the housing side because I lived in the dorms what in the post office wish you could’ve shown that part of the base but that was a nice view of it thanks
I was SF at Spangdahlem AB, Alpha Flight 2011-2015. We would work both posts patrol and gates. Time sure fly’s. Best years of my life.
I could live there… no rent or bills 👍
Military brat here - Lived in the building on the bottom right of the screen here @4:14 From around 1990-1995. I remember walking to school and being within nose shot of the Bitburger Brewery - it wasn't a pleasant smell.🤢
Can someone please tell me what that is added to the end of each building on the back??? wasn't there when we lived there in 1962. I still dream of Bitburg AF Base. We lived in building 27 first floor apartment 1. Every weekend my sister and I got a quarter to go to the movies. Fifteen cent for the movie, one would spend ten cents for a bag of popcorn, the other would get two huge CHARM suckers for a nickle apiece and we would share. Those were great times!!!!!
The bump out was an additional bathroom added in the late 80's.
@@stevecousino8960 thank you

Es ist hier nur sehr schade, das die einzelnen Berichte keine deutsche Übersetzung haben.
1969 to 1971 … 3rd and 4th grade Bitburg Elementary … building 2 near base-side gate … what an amazing two years of my childhood. Bitburg came after Gateway Gardens at Rhein Main AFB. Both were awesome! awesome video If watching, Hellos to … Lance Palmore, Stephanie White, Eddie and Robbie Hamilton, Carl Morris, Cathy Jo Glover
Awe I love this We were stationed at spang 2012 to 2015 but we lived on Bitburg annex. One of the last families to be moved off of there in 2014!!!! It was so crazy living on there with no one there...we watched the bx and com close down and I remember when they closed the French concern too. We loved Bitburg ♡ we moved onto Spang housing for the last 6 months of our tour.
I was stationed in spangdahlem from 2011-2015. Very special place indeed. Eerie patrolling bitburg and French concern, especially when it was dark outside. Lol
I was born here June 1985… I wish I could get my birth records🥺🥺
My oldest son was born there in 0ct. 81', during my first marriage. We lived in Germany from 81'-84', what a beautiful country! I'm an Air Force brat so I was thrilled to move again.🤣
I attended BMS from about 94. I was probably the only British kid there. I still have my year book from around that time. Feel free to get in touch.
looks like eastern europe, lmao
Wow! My dad was stationed there 77-81 and we lived in 1-A-4 right behind BX area. I went to 1st-5th grade there my 5th grade teacher was Mr. Beck. The best years of my childhood, great memories and great people! When we were there the Barons were best football team in USAFE I think. I loved it there!
