Golden Age Air Museum- part 3

Postby beaky » Wed Aug 30, 2006 6:11 pm

This  hangar was so stuffed with planes and things that it was a challenge just to get near them, let alone photograph them.

This Great Lakes is so fine it deserves two pictures...

This is a one-off built for a movie; a replica of a Rumpler CV.

The paint shceme on this ship immediately made me think of ORA's New Standards, but of course it is a Bird CK. Built in 1930, and still carrying passengers.... with an old Kinner radial swinging the prop.
 If only the weather had been suitable... but I'll be back.

Another nice Great Lakes, this one with a Ranger engine.

Didn't get a good full-body shot of this wonderful Pietenpol Air Camper, but the panel is worth a look. Beautiful work, and just the right instruments. ;D

Excellent shots!  

I might MIGHT go to ORA next week, I will be in Albany to visit RPI and me and my dad might find the time to drive down to Rhinebeck.  All I know is he got the Neverlost for the rental car and when I said why (we are flying into Albany and Rensselaer is like 5 minutes from the airport, doesnt seem necessary to have the GPS) he responded by saying 'I dont know where we are going after RPI'

Fingers crossed! ;D

If you go during the week, they won't be flying, but the hangars will be open.
Getting there is pretty simple: cross the Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge from the west (Kingston-Ulster Airport is right near the foot of the bridge on the west bank), turn right at the second light onto Rte. 9G South, then go left at the next light, onto Rte. 9 north. About 1/2 mile up Rte 9, you'll see an old stone church on the left... turn right there, onto Old Stone Church Road (duh).
You'll think you're on the wrong road at first, but a little ways up you'll see the sign, at Norton Road. See if the Neverlost will tell you that! ;)
If you're possibly going to be there on the weekend, let me know... I haven't gone for my New Standard ride yet this year, and the season will soon be over.
So next weekend would be a good time to get that out of the way ( ;) ), and get to meet a fellow DC-3 lover.

Now this is my type of place. Wonderful. 8)

I'm still waiting for those photos of ORA you promised so you'd better get cracking. ;)

Right; there's a RC model meet or something that day. But that should be fun- I hear that's a premiere model event, although I've never been. And they will be flying the planes from the collection (except the Jenny... grrr...)

Yep, I really would like to get that biplane ride but models are definately cool and id love to see some of their collection fly...probably the earliest aircraft Ive ever seen fly is from just before WWII.
