In 1934, two Belgian scientists, Max Cosyns and Nere van Elst landed here after flying for 14 hours and reaching the altitude of 16000 meters. Locals welcomed them, one later getting a medal from the Belgian king.

As a plus, the flight was planned by prof. Piccard, the first man to reach the stratosphere and inspiring the surname of Star Trek's Jean Luc Piccard.
