    Near the runway which is open part of the year and accessible to cyclists.

    Yet it remains a beautiful sight to cycle on an abandoned airbase. In these shelters the planes used to be on standby. These shelters are located near the runway and through the "taxi-lane" (which one is allowed to cross) the aircraft could go to this runway and of course return to the shelter.
    Maintenance was also carried out in these shelters and they were safe from even incoming bombs. The shelters have an arc shape because it deflects a possible explosion of a bomb. An arch is also a very strong shape, just look at various bridges.
