All safe for the season. Our volunteers tuck away the Curtiss Model D, the last ship going into storage for the winter.

Bidders really like the Triplane Fabric, Snoopy First Edition, Weathervane, and Propeller (Orville the cat not included.) Lots of other great items. Get your bids in and watch to see how you're doing. https://www.32auctions.com/OldRhinebeck2020

Stay Safe Until We See You in 2021!

Our Education Program is flying high, but still needs donations to support restorations, supplies, and operating expenses. Your generosity will help us to educate members, of all ages, about the wonders of classic aviation. https://oldrhinebeck.org/2020

The Baron is distressed that unauthorized Aerodrome branded merchandise is being offered by unlicensed bandits! The only legitimate sources for Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome clothing and merchandise are our Museum and Field Gift Shops or https://oldrhinebeckaerodrome.mybigcommerce.com where much-needed profits support our restorations and operationsnot fly by night imitators! Let us know if you see others selling our branded items. The Baron will challenge them to a dogfight. Jeff Millman photo.

How neat to fly someone the same age as the airplane! Herman Isaza and the New Standard were both born in 1929. Herman loved aviation and overcame mom's objections, going on to retire from a career with Pan Am doing weight and balance and loading supervision. His daughter Stella went along for the ride. For a birthday gift, biplane rides take the cake. https://oldrhinebeck.org/biplane-rides/

What have we here? Spars coming along nicely, obviously. But, for what airplane? Hint: Spars from Big Sky make more passengers fly.

If you've visited or, especially, shot an approach from the north, you know the trees make it very exciting. Through a generous gift, we've purchased the adjoining property and are improving short final. Maybe we'll find the cylinder that departed the Triplane years ago.
