RHEIN-MAIN AIR BASE, Germany (AFPN) -- Brig. Gen. Mike Snodgrass hands the keys to this longtime airlift base to Manfred Scholch. The symbolic event, held today, marked the last Air Force function here. After 60 years as the "Gateway to Europe," the United States will officially give the base back to Germany at midnight Dec. 31. The general is the U.S. Air Forces in Europe director of plans and programs. Mr. Scholch is the Frankfurt International Airport executive board vice chairman. (U.S. Air Force photo by Capt.
