It's the
home of an incredible collection of World War I and pre-World War I aircraft,
many
of which
still fly on a nice Sunday afternoon. Yes, PAOP is going to Old Rhinebeck
Airdrome
and Museum. Since only the bold and foolish (and invited) actually
fly into O.R.,
we will
fly to Sky Park and cab (van?) from there. The museum will be open
when we
arrive.
At 1400 there is a two hour air show featuring the ancient craft, along
with some
melodramatic
foolishness featuring Sir Percy Goodfellow and the evil Black Baron of
Rhinebeck.
Bring a
picnic lunch there are facilities, or buy lunch there. Admission
to the museum is $5
for adults
($2 age 6 through 10). For $10 ($ for kids) you get admission and
the show. If
we have
15 or more, we get a 10% discount and a private tour. Figure on a
ramp fee
(maybe
$10, not sure), and about $3.50 each way for ground transport.
If you
need a ride or if you will have extra seats in your plane, contact Gene
Poppel at 610-
647-1332
(e-mail genepoppel@juno.com).
This is the trip you've been wanting and waiting
for.
Lets have PAOP invade Old Rhinebeck in force and in style (buy a PAOP T-shirt).
