Fulda: Army Airfield AAF

Sickels Airfield

 

The history of the Cold War airfields: Fulda

 

Fulda was an US Army airfield, which was used as a helicopter base until the early 1990s. It was located at the strategically important Fulda Gap, which was viewed by the West as a probable place for a Soviet tank attack because the potential deployment area of the East in Thuringia offered the shortest route to the important Rhein-Main area in the west.

Therefore, many transport, observation and combat helicopters were stationed in Fulda.

The airfield was located just 19 km from the inner-German border and was geographically within the Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ), the air surveillance zone along the demarcation line. However, the area around the airfield was exempted from the ADIZ to an altitude of 2,000 feet, probably to simplify flight operations.

Today, the airfield is closed and the new district Fulda-Galerie is located on the site. The former control tower and the fire brigade building are still preserved.

WATCH:Police put down mass protests sparked by plummeting currency(in Turkey)

 

Scenes of police in full riot gear attempting to suppress protests have been coming in from Istanbul, as more people have taken to the streets across Turkey, upset over the record fall of the lira.

 

Officers wearing helmets and carrying shields are seen cordoning off streets in Istanbul, while police in lighter gear infiltrated the crowds and forcefully dragged away some protesters, in footage from RT’s Ruptly video agency.

 

There was a massive police presence as people flooded the streets of the Turkish city on Wednesday, decrying the government’s handling of the financial crisis. While many took part in the protests, thousands of others lined up at gas stations due to the rapidly rising fuel prices. Many more bought US dollars in panic. Others invested money in electronic products, while some companies halted sales in the country amid skyrocketing inflation.

 

The turmoil comes as a result of the drop in the Turkish lira to record lows, losing as much as 45% of its value this year – around half of which occurred this week. On Tuesday alone, it lost 15% on the US dollar, but recovered as much as 7% on Wednesday. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan defended the rate cuts – part of his government’s “economic war of independence.
