A major focus of activity at the Center would be the former air bases runway. The air Force made its final exit from Wei Brincken a in september. In its last years As a . Air Force base Wei Brincken was Home to two flying wings the 26th recon Wing which flew Rf-4c phantom ii aircraft and the 10th military Airlift so flying the c-23a Sherpa aircraft to support the european distribution system.
