Former 7100 Combat Support Wing Medical Center, USAF

My father was stationed at LAS from 1972-1973 and worked in the Finanace Office. I attended 4th grade on station. I still remember going to Rimini's out the back gate for Pizza and have yet to find a place that makes a better pie!! In the early 90's, I took my wife to see the area and where my family lived on Park Strasse. Interestingly, the very day we were driving on LAS was the last day it was open and next day it was being turned back over to German control. I'm so thankful we were able to get the chance to see it one last time!!! Great place and great memories!!!!

I was stationed at Lindsey from July 84 to June 88. I was with DET 1 1856 as a Teletype/Computer Operator and worked at the Schierstein Compound. It was such a great assignment, shortly after arriving I extended a year because I knew 3 years just wouldn't be enough. Good people, beautiful country, my cool old BMW, yagerschnitzel at Pete's, the wine festivals... just too good!

I was stationed here from 1960-62 with the 25th Communications Sq. Great assignment. There was a little bar/eating place across street from main gate which was great, esp since you could run a tab.

I was there from 91-93. I close the place down. I was in the 2063CS upon arrival and we changed to the 7100CS in line with the 7100CSW.I loved this place and am getting a trip together to bo back next year. I would love to hear more about anybody else's time spent there. It's hard to find folks that were there towards the end.

If anyone was stationed at Lindsey 69-73 please contact me at bd.northboro@verizon.net...I would love to share memories/pics. Thanks

I was stationed at Lindsey Sep 69 -- Feb 73 2063rd Comm Gp...Awesome assign. Great people great memories!!!

I was stationed at Wiesbaden Air Base, then at Lindsey AS when the Army moved to WAB in 76. Worked with the 497th RTG at Schierstein, with the 7575th SOG, Rhein Main, and with the AFOSI in various places. Lived in an old SS barracks which had been fire-bombed for a while, then got a place in Mainz. Tried to get reassigned there in 84 when leaving Spangdahlem, but got sent to Ramstein's Command Post instead. I'm hoping to return to Germany in the next year or so; this time without duty and travel restrictions so I can act touristy.

I was stationed there when it was the 2 MOB (2nd Mobile Communications Group). The 2MOB was originally at Sembach AB Germany, then in 1972 when USAFE moved to Ramstein AB, the unit was moved from Sembach to LAS. We went in and converted parking lots to motorpool lots as we had 150+ wheeled vehicles. Buildings were converted to repair centers, warehouses etc. Then in 1976 we were moved again, but this time to CONUS. We were almost totally relocated to Patrick AFB on the Atlantic coast of Florida, not far from Cocoa Beach. Shortly thereafter, we were redesignated as the 2nd Combat Communications Group. A few years later, I think it was consolidated with the 1st CCG which was in Warner Robbins GA.

I was stationed at Linsey from 1974 to 76. I can not think of a better place to be stationed. Just a great place. Partied way to much and had way to much fun.

I was stationed at Lindsey AS from 1982 - 1986. It was one of the best assignments I had, throughout my Air Force career. Hanging out at "Ruddy's", eating at Vesuvio's and the annual Freundschaftsfest are times that I will never forget.

I was fortunate enough to be stationed at Lindsey twice. The first time with the 1836 EIG from 1978 to 1981. Then again from 1984 to 1989. I fond memories of the annual Friendship Fests. I lived in B19 and there was no way to get home except through the beer tent! The carnival rides and other attractions covered the parade field. Does anyone else remember those events?

The spelling is incorrect. It is Lindsey Air Station after Darrell R. Lindsey. I was stationed there for three years, 1986 - 1989 in the Photo Lab.

Schloss is the german word for Castle. Building had nothing to do with religion. Was at one time the Area Rod and Gun Club for the US Forces.
