Vliegveld Keent, Former airfield in Oss, Netherlands.

The airfield extends across grassland near the Meuse River, featuring a 1200-meter runway that supported both civil and military aircraft operations.

Established in 1933 through collaboration between KLM and a flight school, the airfield served as Allied airstrip B82 during Operation Market Garden in 1944.

The site includes a memorial monument erected in 1995 that commemorates the contributions of American, British, and Canadian forces during World War II.

The former airfield grounds are accessible by road from Oss, with the memorial serving as a point of interest along the international Liberation Route.

In 1938, the canalization of the Meuse River isolated the airfield on an island, leading to its eventual abandonment as a civilian airport.
