This is where the foundations were laid for Dutch aviation.
On June 27, 1909, the first motorized aircraft in the Netherlands took off here on the Klagenbergsche Heide. The flight was operated by Charles Count de Lambert, a 43-year-old Frenchman. He was one of the first students of the Wright brothers who made the first flight with the Wright Flyer in America in 1903.
