Olde Rhinebeck Aerodrome

Last Airshow Saturday of 2004

The images below are of some of the older flying planes and the more delicate ones. With the exception of the Tiger Moth and the Curtiss Jenny, these planes do not fly above the tree line.  There are no pictures of the Bleriot XI flying, although it did fly at an altitude of about four feet. The wind was about a constant five mph with gusts to ten. This of course complicates the flying of these very ancient aircraft.

Some of these photos show the equisite fall colors.

Enjoy!

The Caudron
It looks like Jim Record is the pilot.   The rotating engine is obvious by the blur of the cylinders.  The woman in the lavender flight suit is representing Harriet Quimby the first American Aviatrix and first woman to fly the English Channel.
