I live close to Ramstein. About 60 km far from me. 

The Band Rammstein took the name after the aircraft accident but did write
the name fals.

 

Cheers

The notation of Ramstein caught my attention in Tony's note about enjoying
the German Beach boys. A bit of history involving Triumph occurred at a
place called Ramstein AFB in Germany in 1956. The USAF in Europe decided to
run some sports cars races on Armed Forces Day in 1956. They ran races for
all classes at Ramstein and at a sister base, Landstul AFB.  I won the 2
litre class at both of those base races in my TR2. Thus the name "Ramstein"
caught my attention.
