Ramstein
Ramstein
is a town in the
Rhineland-Palatinate
,
Germany
, known for being the home of
Ramstein Air Base
, a
United States
military airfield. In the
Ramstein airshow disaster
of
1988
, 70 people died at this airbase after an Aermacchi 339
trainer
aircraft of the Italian
aerobatic
team the
Frecce Tricolori
collided with the tail of another similar aircraft and careered onwards into spectators during an
airshow
. It has been reported that the pressure setting on the aircraft had been incorrectly input so that the
altimeter
gave an inaccurate reading to the pilot flying towards the crowd-line. The metal rock band
Rammstein
is said to be named after the airbase.
