Don't miss our annual Pioneer Aircraft Day on Saturday, August 28th. In addition to our normal flying (and the 100th Hanriot birthday), we will set up static photographic opportunities and offer up-close-and-personal inspection of our pioneers. After the show we intend to again fly these special airplanes, usually with calmer winds and better photographic lighting. A special treat, as it gets late in the day, will be starting the Sopwith Camel. Its rotary engine belches fire out the exhaust, while making a sound you don't want to miss.  

 

The 2010 season runs through October 17th, with  AIR-SHOWS every SATURDAY and SUNDAY, weather permitting. Click on the SHOW tab above to see special events. The gates open and biplane rides begin at 10:00am, the air show starts at 2pm and ends at 4pm, and the Museum is open daily 10:00am - 5:00pm.

A great deal has changed here at Old Rhinebeck since a Spad XIII, Aeronca C3 and a Fleet biplane touched down on a thousand feet of dirt and gravel nearly 51 years ago. But Cole Palen's dream and vision lives through its dedicated staff, volunteers and membership.

 

We look forward to seeing you for the 51st Season of:

"The Greatest Show Off Earth!"

Join us as a Friend of Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome today.  Nearly all of us are volunteers, and we depend on your generosity and support to keep this magnificent piece of history alive and in the air.
