Wondering what airbase this is?

An image search shows that this photo is from the German Federal Archives, from JG 74 (Jagdgeschwader) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taktisches_Luftwaffengeschwader_74
Not doing well with the F-104, this group lost a Starfighter on average of one every 12 or 13 days - a total of 292 aircraft in ten years.

So, that single turboprop more than doubled the power of the B-17!

The Liberty Bell, currently under going a rebuild after her fire.

Incorrect. The plane pictured is "Champagne Lady", s/n 44-48513.
"Liberty Belle" was s/n 42-31255 and was lost in battle on 3 October, 1944.
S/n 44-83690 is painted as "Liberty Belle" and at the museum.
It was converted to a DB-17G and flew drone missions out of Eglin AFB.

NOT THE ORIGINAL Liberty Belle,(Just like the Nine O Nine that crashed and was destroyed in 2019 wasn't the ORIGINAL Nine O Nine)
but this is the same plane with the test engine, restored and NAMED Liberty Belle in 2004. http://www.warbirdregistry.org/b17registry/b17-4485734.html
