## Description

Helicopter Wing 64 of the German Air Force is based at Laupheim (ICAO: ETHL) in Baden-Württemberg, where roughly 1,200 personnel and the bulk of the Luftwaffe's heavy CH-53G transport helicopters are stationed – 48 of the fleet's 60 aircraft, alongside light H145M LUH SOF helicopters for special forces. The military field is closed to civilian and cargo aviation. For air freight from the Biberach/Ulm region, Stuttgart Airport (STR), about 90 km to the northwest, and EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg (BSL) are the nearest cargo options.
