Deelen is best known for the Deelen Air Base, a military airfield close to the village. The airport was built in 1913 as a subsidiary of Soesterberg Air Base. During the German occupation, it was enlarged into a big airfield measuring 40 square kilometres (15 sq mi). There is a museum on the airbase dedicated to its history.^[3]
