Spangdahlem, Germany

February 29, 2008 By admin

One place to begin a trip to Europe can start in the small village of Spangdahlem, Germany. It is the location of an airfield that you can reach using Space Available travel, and the Air base is the home of the 52nd Fighter Wing. The 52nd Fighter wing has been deployed around the world and has served proudly in both the Iraqi and Afghanistan fronts on the war on Terror.

The town of Spangdahlem Germany is fairly small, there are a couple of larger cities not too far away, Trier, and Bitburg Germany are both about twenty minutes away from the base. Using the Air base as your first destination for Space Available is wise, from there you can branch out and travel to Austria, Switzerland, other points in Germany, or Liechtenstein.

A tip in flying Space available is to locate Affordable Travel Clubs member homes. The ATC program is a club where members can arrange to stay with ATC members in other countries, sometimes for as low as about $30 dollars per night, with breakfast included. You can make a lot of new friends in this manner, and the details are easy to find on the Internet look for affordable travel club as your search words.

Most travel Space Available travels through Ramstein AFB in Germany, and you can often sign up if qualified at the space available website for one or more legs of your trip. If you choose to stop at Ramstein, there are a host of small castle ruins and villages within a short trip you can visit. There are also locations in Verdun, France that are within a short trip by car, there are a lot of WW II memorials and battlefields you can visit.

There are several routes you can follow to get the most from a vacation to Germany. There are a great deal of small attractions that are not available on the web, or known that you will encounter once you are in Germany. If you have the flexibility of time in your journey, it is worth it to travel to Germany with some of your time unscheduled, you will find a great number of activities open to you once you arrive.

Remember if you plan to rent a car during your stay to make reservations ahead of time. Even if you wind up canceling a day or two in advance, if you reserve in advance you will have a car ready for you should you decide to venture out and set up your own driving tour of the region.

    The location is nice… However, its definatly a low morale base; senior leadership appears to have a genuine disconnect with their people – yeah ok, we score well in UCIs, Tac-evals and ORIs, but the people are drained like goodness knows what. I’ve been here for 2 years already and am staying for another 3 years (German wife) I have never worked more weekends and 12 hour shifts in my AF career. Just be ready for that. Its what you make of it, and I’m sure it depends on your job as well.
