Plane spotting at US Air Base Ramstein in Germany.
Ramstein is a really nice airbase, with a very good spotting location for 27 Take Offs and 09 Arrivals. Its pretty much a public hiking / biking path with few benches around and a large field closer to the fence.
There is a lot of 'action' going on each day, and if you visit it for a few hours, there is simply no chance you could NOT see a C-17 arriving or departing.
During our 2-day visit, we didn't encounter any problems with the local police or the base security. To be honest, they were actually really friendly, waving and smiling at us. Just make sure you're not acting like an i**** when you visit, and stay few meters away from the perimeter. Don't even think about using a ladder by the fence.
Also, be careful if you're into American cars. There's plenty driving inside the base, but better avoid taking pictures. The atmosphere is not as laid back as in Lakenheath or Mildenhall. Just saying..
Runway 26/08 was under some heavy maintenance at the time of our visit.
This video features runway 27 departures, including:
C-17 Globemaster | Air Force Reserve Command | 10194 | Wright-Patt

Please note, I was both filming and photographing. There were twice as many C-17's and C-5's. Shown here is only the half of stuff we saw.
