[edit] Transportation

I wouldn't write that Hahn can easily be reached by car because there is actually no direct motorway (autobahn) connection to the airport and there used to be a lot of truck-traffic due to the (truck) toll on german motorways.

I don't agree with the above. The airport (flughafen) is only 35km from the motorway (autobahn). While there are a reasonable number of lorries (trucks) on this road (which I believe mostly to be local/airport (cargo) related) the journey from the motorway (autobahn) to the airport (flughafen) takes on average 25 minutes.

[edit] Tourist information

I've removed a paragraph that was concerned only with traveller information (prices, bus stop locations). This information is not encyclopaedic and easily available elsewhere. If you'd like to help out fellow travellers, consider putting this to wikitravel. Averell (talk) 14:40, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Restructure

I restructured the article a bit. It was still more like a tourist guide, with weak structure and the unnecessarily detailed information about the transportation. I removed the Hahn Airbase fighter image, since this article is about the civilian airport. Averell (talk) 08:11, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
