'''Hohn Air Base''' is a military air base in [Germany](/source/Germany). It was home to the ''Lufttransportgeschwader'' 63 (LTG 63 for short, [Air Transport Wing 63](/source/Air_Transport_Wing_63) in English) of the [German Air Force](/source/German_Air_Force) (''Luftwaffe''). 

==Usage==
Since May 1968, the [Transall C-160](/source/Transall_C-160) has been operated from the base. During 2013 Air Transport Wing 63 was disbanded and subsequently it was announced that the air base would be given up by the German Air Force.
