old rhinebeck aerodrome印象

We went to the aerodrome last weekend for the World War 1 air show. It was a blast. There is a story that goes along with show, hokey as it is but quite funny. The announcer is great but the real stars are the planes. You sit right along the runway and see some amazing planes take off and land. Some of the stunts are amazing. Most of the flying planes are replicas but exact to the nth degree, but they have originals there too. Along with the old cars, trucks and motorcycles, it is a real feast. The only thing that we couldn't do was take a ride on an old mail plane, that will be next time.

Step into the wayback machine to a time of those daring young men and their flying machines, and of small town hokeyness that makes you smile. There was a mixture of early twentieth century aeroplanes, some dating back to 1909. The pilots and ground crew were dressed in period garb, and the master of ceremonies, perched atop a tower, provided a play-by-play of the show, with fact interspersed with humor. We loved seeing the oldest planes attempt to get off the ground, flying barely ten feet high, but thrilling nonetheless. The balloon bursting contest by four biplanes was entertaining, as was the prison-escapee farce. We had put this on the agenda because of the pumpkin bombing, but frankly that wasn't as spectacular as were imagined. They only three about six pumpkins, and they were pretty far away, so it was difficult to see them. If you don't mind sitting on backless, makeshift benches, fine, otherwise bring some camp chairs. There are some food stands, but we didn't indulge. There is a cute gift shop and a museum that we would have visited had we had the time. A fun afternoon (2 hour show).

My second time to the Aerodrome and it was just as pleasant as the first. Boyfriend and I did a biplane ride and it was so enjoyable. The landing and take-off were perfect and smooth, so if you're nervous about that- don't be. Air show is definitely worth it, it's really amazing what those pilots can do.

As well as an aircraft museum, containing very rare types, Old Rheinbeck also stages air displays every weekend from the Spring until mid October. The Saturday show is aimed more at the enthusiast, while the Sunday show is pure family entertainment, with good guys, bad guys, explosions, car chases and girls falling out of aeroplanes!Oh yes, if you have vintage clothes, wear them to the shows!

Wow what these guys can do, scary! Kids will love it and you will too. Pre WW1 planes that still fly. WOW. Plan a trip and stay overnight do you have a full day there. A lot of fun.

A not-to-be-missed experience. The museum is chock-full of aviation history (and getting a guided tour is nice-nominal extra fee). The highlight is the air show. Although the air show "story" might be considered hokey, it is a lot of fun and is a great way to keep things rolling as you watch these amazing aircraft take off and land - and do tricks. The announcer does a great job telling you about each craft. There are some fun antics and some cool other old vehicles rounding out the afternoon. If you have a bit of extra money, the $75 per person ride up in a biplane is super-cool.Heads-up - the outdoor cafe takes cash only. Expect the air show to take almost 2 hours. The seats for the air show are simple wood planks resting on cut logs. They were ok - the ones in the back are in the shade! - but bring a blanket if you want extra padding or bring your own chairs. Bring a camera! And sit opposite the buildings on the field that are part of the show - the best view of all the action. The "nice" bathrooms are in the museum next to the museum store. There are port-a-potties elsewhere. From where you park you have to cross the road (not a problem) to buy your tickets, but then cross back over, go through the parking lot, and up a somewhat steep hill which may be difficult for some people. And then you go back down the hill, through the parking lot and then into the air show area. There are some cool hangers with stuff to look at along the air show field...but there is a bit of walking involved overall, and some inclines.

Saw a show on the Saturday. Great fun. Some of the museum hangars are looking a little sad and unloved.

If you are into airplanes and the history of them, then this is the place to see. It has a great display of real world war I airplanes on display. The airfield show is fantastic! The pilots do such a great job and the show is also very entertaining! Really loved it!
