Rotty goes digital... Old Rhinebeck "teaser"
Posted: Wed Aug 03, 2005 6:48 pmHaving a hell of a time figuring out which of this batch to post, and how to format them... but here's three of my special friend- the New Standard D25, built in 1929 and still happily giving rides every weekend.
These are out of sequence; I was messing with settings for this one, hence the bluish cast. Might be tweakable, but... whatever; ain't she fine?
This shot gives you an idea of how it works. Front cockpit has two bucket seats and a bench; four adults can fit in there. This type was designed for just this purpose- that, and hauling mail, etc. My guess is that the pilot is laying down the "no ice cream" rule, here...
Another sedate landing...or is she taking off? Hmmm...
Sadly, I didn't get to fly in it that day; got my name on the list late, and a storm moved in right after the airshow. I waited around, but it was raining steadily by 5:00 so they put her away. Of course, at that precise moment, the clouds parted and the rain stopped!! :P
but it's OK- I've taken that ride before, and will do it again.

I'm off to bed soon or I would have a go.
