Very impressive Nike Missiles ready to go at their launching site at Hohenkirchen about 8 miles North of Jever Airfield - 1969.   Art tells us: "I've checked Google Earth and it seems that the barracks are gone replaced by what looks like concrete hangers.   I am a little fuzzy on my directions as I was under the influence of Jever Bier most of the time. Coming in thru the main gate we would turn right and go across the end of a runway, often followed by an irate German guard firing into the air.   We had a Nike missile site in nearby Hohenkirchen.   I think the Army moved into the barracks in 1962, for lack of a better place.   A new barracks finally got built in the mid 1970s in Hohenkirchen."
