I have been told he won't come and he will just do his speech via video conferencing. But I'm going tomorrow, I still hope he is comming though.

He doesn't have his own plane?

The richest man in the world should surely be flying his own 747-400 with a 380 on order.

Gates was on the event sooooo what kind of plane?

I think he has a Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express.

However was this aircraft in BRU?

The only GlobeEx that I saw was N711MN, which is owned by Qualcomm Inc. (Picture link below)

Probably no coincidence.

Closer to home we have similar examples with OO-VAS(tapane) and OO-SAV(erys).

I can confirm N887WM was in EBBR, it left somewhere around 1630lt.

.....N887WM is assigned to Challenger Administration LLC, but used by Bill Gates all the time. Let's say, his favourite aircraft.
