Aviation history of Hong Kong

The Aviation history of Hong Kong began in Sha Tin on 18 March 1911, when Belgian pilot Charles den Born successfully took off on an aeroplane retrospectively named Spirit of Sha Tin (Chinese: 沙田精神號). A replica of the aircraft is hung at the new Chep Lap Kok airport above the arrivals hall.
