Military Air Base Büchel in Germany

Büchel Air Base is a military air base in Büchel. It is home to the Tactical Air Force Wing 33 of the German Air Force (TaktLwG 33) and the 702 Munitions Support Squadron (702 MUNSS) of the United States Air Force (USAF).
The TaktLwG 33 has been operating German Panavia Tornado airplanes since 1985, which are capable of delivering the twenty B61 nuclear bombs, which are stored and maintained by the 702 MUNSS of the USAF. Germany is part of the concept of nuclear sharing. That means in the event of war, German pilots are to take the nuclear bombs to their destination.
