Boehmer
Army Airfield, Hoppstädten-Weiersbach, 1995 (Roger
Pritts via Hanno Englaender)
Open House at Hoppstaedten-Weiersbach.
This 1960s scene shows
the main aircraft types of 3rd ACR in front of the large main hangar at
Boehmer airfield: O-1 Bird Dog, OH-13 Sioux and CH-34 Choctaw. The first
nissen hut visible in the background is the base club "Happy Valley Inn".
Also, it appears that Hoppstaedten-Weiersbach had no ATC-tower.

delivered to the Army. The aircraft sports 3rd ACR "Brave Rifles"
markings on the engine cowling.
