Today i've had contact with an person of the "15th Wing Air Transport" and has told me that they has also invited many countries like: Jordan AF, New-Zealand, USAF, CAF, Armée de l'air,etc.
But this airforces haven't confirmed that they will come.
So it's waiting the next months if there will be some nice aircrafts.

what about the display's? Would be only flypasts i think? Or is there more room at Brussels?

[Sleegertje]

At Amiens the Gendarmerie told us that they'll visit with an EC-135

[Stafsels]

Usualy only static with "airdopen" with some of the ERJ-135/145 and some engine tests on the other side.

There is no room for that at Brussels of course. The last Open Day I visited, in 2002, only had a static, but a reasonably laid out one at that with interesting items.

Open Door 15 Wing @opendoor15w
In the pipeline but looking (very very) good: Canadian C-130 'Open skies' and UKAF C-130 K-type

That would be very very good indeed
