This ALAT airfield was previously used by the USAFE. It was constructed from 1952 to 1957 and the first unit based here was 23rd Helicopter Squadron operating the H-21B, followed by 513th FIS with the F-86D in 1958 and later by 102nd FW. At the moment it is the home base of 1 RHC, with nine units including EHOR with their AS532UL Cougar Horizon AEW helicopters. In the near future also the Tigre will be based here.
The base is built with a usual French lay-out, with three dispersals around the main runway. The runway is southwest-northeast oriented. There is also a main taxiway to the south of the runway. In the south are the main buildings. For an excellent view from the sky go to Google Earth.
The airfield is located along highway E25 towards Strasbourg. Take exit 44 onto road N4 towards Sarrebourg.
