Stuck on a Staff in Europe

Anyone have any ideas/info for currency flying while stuck pulling a sled on staff duty in Germany? Any info on aero clubs etc... from guys who have lived this would be appreciated. The beer is great but a little flying every now and then might help me stay sane. Then again it might not. Thanks.

Coleman aeroclub closed the end of March/April. I used to fly there. It is now up in Mainz. I have not been there yet, but I understand the offices are on an Army mil base in Mainz and the planes are at a non-mil grass field nearby.
With all the costs associated, including travel to Minz, it was equal or perhaps less expensive to fly GA at my local field in Stuttgart.

Send a PM to Opteryx, he is an instructor there in Mainz.
