It has always been an kind of secret but yes they were based there and flew missions for the NATO from time to time.
I got in contact with their headquarter in Arizona and asked about the futureplans, and they told me they havent decided yet if they will stay in Germany.
Well, Weeze would be a good place to stay for them, but an even better choice would of course be.....Gütersloh , as the NATO-trainingarea Sennelager is close by, and there are also american troops based at ETUO itself...
