Had the same idea and I want to open a topic for Basepohl. You came first by a few hours. We need Basepohl because it was the only base for GDR Mi-24P. Thanks for opening.

Cottbus is already on Ugra's list. See the FAQ.

Mainz Finthen Airfield was also a Helicopter airfield in CW. Located between Frankfurt and Spangahlem in west Germany.

From the Wiki Article:

As part of their commitment to NATO, US Armed forces returned to the Mainz area and took over the airfield, which was renamed Finthen Army Airfield. As a result of the establishment of the United States Air Force (USAF) in 1947, the Army could use the airfield for helicopters, light LSO and observation aircraft only.
