Holloman and the German Air Force host 18th annual Oktoberfest
Colonel Heinz J. Ferkinghoff, German Air Force Flying Training Center commander, gives opening remarks with Col. Robert Kiebler, 49th Wing commander, kicking off the 18th annual Oktoberfest at Holloman Air Force Base, N.M., Sept. 13. “It is a great cooperation between the Germans and the United States Air Force at Holloman,” said Ferkinghoff. “If the Germans and Americans didn’t work together there wouldn’t be such an event.” The GAFFTC welcomed Team Holloman and members of the community to experience this aspect of German heritage, including food, drinks and good company.
