Fliegerhorst Landsberg am Lech, also known as Penzing, used to be the southernmost transport base of the German Air Force. It housed a wing of C-160D Transall aircraft and UH-1Ds of the same unit. Reading and photography were OK here.
The Luftwaffe left Landsberg in September 2017, after which only the local flying clubs remained. Its status as an airfield was finally cancelled in August 2020. The preserved Noratlas was still there in 2022, visible from spot 3.
The base is very open on the south side enabling clear views of the east-west runway. All ramps and buildings are on the north side, with the northeast holding the helicopter ramp and hangar.
Landsberg am Lech is situated along the highway A96/E54, halfway between Memmingen and München. You have to take the easternmost exit of the highway to avoid searching for the right road in Landsberg itself. The rest is almost self-explanatory.
This UH-1D was shot from position 1 with 600mm plus crop. (Hans van Zeeland)
