No more take offs
There once was an American airfield (Maurice Rose Airfield) in the north of Frankfurt. It was used for helicopters and light aircraft. It was given up in 1992 and the area was actively reformed to become part of the Frankfurt green belt, a landscape conservation area. The runway was made narrower but the length of 750 metres was kept.
