“We will take you high or low, fast or slow, anyway you want to go,” starts our barker’s spiel–we’re still barnstorming, just as they did in the 1920s. 

The New Standard D-25 was the greatest of the barnstorming aircraft. Designed expressly for passenger-hopping by Charles Day, doubling the payload of “old” Standard to four. The use of modern (1928) construction techniques, big high-lift wings and rugged wide-stance landing gear made the D-25 easy to fly and capable of operating out of the smallest and roughest fields. During Prohibition, two were confiscated for “rum running” and became NT-2 of the US Coast Guard.

Don your helmet and goggles and experience the thrill of open cockpit flying over the Hudson River Valley. With accommodations for up to four passengers, you can bring your friends and relatives. Flights are booked on a first come/first served basis every Saturday and Sunday June through October. The rides booth opens at 10:00 am and rides book quickly so arrive early to ensure a seat. Pre-arranged weekday rides and Lighthouse Tours are available. Call 845-752-3200 for details. Circumstances beyond our control such as weather and wind conditions sometimes cause flights to be delayed or canceled at the pilot’s discretion.
