The second (left) and third (right) hangar on the field. On the right, one can see leftovers from the recent storm that plowed its way through central France and southern Germany and knocked over a huge number of trees.

The hangars as seen from the 'Flugleiter's' (something like an airfield traffic coordinator without controlling authority) position, which can be seen in the next picture.

The end of the runway facing the forest. If you want to take off in this direction, you probably have to make a slight turn to the left at this position if you fly a low powered aircraft as the take-off run will be uphill.

All photos were scanned from slide originals with a HP ScanJet 6300C flatbed scanner at 1200 dpi resolution (resulting in pictures about 1700x1130 pixels in size) and then converted to the sizes above.
