I've been playing the acoustic guitar for over 39 years . I have a quite a few acoustic guitars; several Gibson, two Guild D25, a CF Martin D16GT & new Taylor 310 CE plus others!

During the 1970's & 80's , my Dad and I worked (actually played) at the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome in Red Hook, NY - just outside the town of Rhinebeck, NY. We were part of the ground crew which was a great experience & real fun!!

The "Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome" is a World Famous vintage air show - a " Museum in the Sky" of Pioneer and World War I airplanes that was founded by the late Cole Palen.



I had noticed many photographs of " Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome " on Flickr so I started a group called
Cole Palen's Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome for people to share their photographs.

This group is NOT AFFIILITED with the Rhinebeck Aerodrome Museum!

I took this photograph with a Kodak Easy share 6300 point & shoot which was my first digital camera. I think this photo was taken somewhere near Sedona Arizona.

This photograph was taken by my dad in the early 1980's. I'm standing next to the Fokker Dr. I triplane at the
Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome.

The landing gear collapsed on take off run. This aircraft was built by Cole Palen in 1967. Cole flew this aircraft in the show for twenty years. This Fokker Dr. I can be seen in the museum at Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome.






This photograph below of the Fokker Dr. I was taken by Tom Polapink.

I find it interesting how images can be manipulated using editing software.
