We departed Hoevenen at own discretion, after which we crossed the Antwerp CTR. We flew under the various TMAs to get to Brustem airport, which was big, new, fancy, and quiet. Perhaps because it was a Thursday. They did have a gigantic hanger with many, many planes and a sizeable drone which used to belong to the Belgian airforce.

We went up to the tower to pay the landing fee, which is never a bad thing! The entire building seemed new as well. They did have a restaurant too, on the ground floor of the tower building, but unfortunately it was closed.
