C the Longitude/Latitude Coordinates for the Hahn AFB MACE
I have attempted to describe how these areas were/are utilized since the MACE system left Hahn in 1966. For those folks who use Google Earth, these coordinates will allow them to zoom down to see the sites/areas as they are today. Posting these on the TAC Missile Site should be interesting to all the old Hahn gang. Respectfully, Dave Maas

[After more that 50 years of U.S. military activity, both Air Force and Army, as of April 2006 this site known by many names such as ( The Hill, Hell's Hill Top, Comm Site of many numbers and many names, Combat Site III, C Flight 822nd and the 887th ) has been returned to the German government. It last served as a paint ball arena run by a U.S. Army org. out of Mannheim.] I last went by the site in December 2006 and the site stood then as it looks in the Google Earth picture now.
