We went for a little afternoon flight with Clare and Guntram to the next airfield to Strausberg, Eggersdorf. Dirk on the tower took us for a tour. It's a ridiculously long runway: 2340m of grass with rubble buried underneath so thay heavy transpprters could land there. The reason for this is that the GDR built it as a replavement runway for the nearby military airfield in case that runway was damaged in times of war. Off the asphalt taxiway, which runs along the edge of a forest there are several little bays wherr migs would have been hidden, to launch from the taxiway.
