22 April 2017
| On 22 April 2017 the “Aviation Day 2017” was held at four Flemish airports: |
| Wevelgem, Oostende-Brugge, Antwerp and Brussels (Melsbroek). |
| The public can get acquainted with the ins and outs of civil and military aviation. |
| This year 33,000 visitors spread throughout the four airports attended the event. |
| Unfortunately there was no airshow, only a rather modest static show. |
| Leendert Holleman went to Ostend and visited the platform area dedicated to the Aviation Day. |
