My first visit to Budel/Kempen airport (EHBD). Was in the area, for a family weekend, so thought ''why not go there quickly?'' The airport is about +/- 5 km from the Belgian border and I think best comparably with Genk Zwartberg or Ursel. Mainly you see training traffic, but once or twice a week you might see a private jet (PC12 ,King Air or Citation Mustang) The airport has 1 asphalt runway of 1199m.
Thank you, TL. This Dutch aerodrome is interestingly within the CTR of Belgian EBKB Kleine Brogel air base. The comparison would perhaps be better with Kortrijk-Wevelgem, given the nearby business park: this was really meant to be a business airfield.
I have not been there for many years, but am surprised you did not spot any ultralights - there always were a good many of them around. Too windy, perhaps, at that particular moment?

Hello
It was quite windy, so that might be the reason. Also all hangar doors were closed, so could not look into them.
And indeed airport is in the middle of a business park and in front of the airport I only saw BMW's, Audi's and some porsche's So rich students or instructors haha
