In the early '80s at Stuttgart we had one aviation unit at Nellingen Barracks and an even larger one at Echterdingen Army Airfield. Nobody ever complained about the noise though because Stuttgart had a pretty big airport with plenty of traffic. Don't remember much night flying though. Wonder if the GWOT has Army aviation practicing more night ops. Moving any facilities to Eastern Europe definately would be cheaper for both the government and also personnel.
