N4909 E01002, 1370', US Army
Location of airfield: 2 km west of Crailsheim Usage during the Cold War: US Army helipad. Current usage: Closed. Telephone: DSN 420-3xxx (1990) Additional information: I was an American Soldier stationed at McKee Barracks between 1984-1987. One day a small privately owned jet made an emergency landing on post. The pilot was a former member of the German Luftwaffe. He said that he was flying in the area and started having some serious problem with his aircraft. He remembered that there was a airfield at McKee Barracks from his experience in World War II. He headed for McKee Barracks. The airfield is still there but it was covered with grass. Somehow he put the plane down on the parking lot and street at the back of the post. He put this aircraft in such a position that after it was repaired he had to hire a stunt pilot to get it out of there.
