Nice photos Lynn. Is that your bird? Nice paint design job.
You got me so interested I looked it up. First the FAQ
<http://www.oldrhinebeck.org/faq.htm>
Plenty of links on that page too. Some movies which were taking too long to load that
I gave up and plenty of photos.
Location (great website for finding info on any airport)
<http://gc.kls2.com/airport/NY94#location>
Of course AirNAV has info on it. There's a nice little bird's eye view of the field on
this page:

The Golden Age Airshow in Pa (near me) is similar to Old Rhinebeck, in fact
it is put on by a guy who used to run the Rhinebeck show.

Speaking of tailwheels and nosewheels and damage - they did the
drunken-farmer-steals-a-cub routine but when he was supposed to be "waving"
the tail he waved a little too much... prop strike! That was the end of the
show season for that cub, despite being a taildragger.
Happy New Year!

Thanks for the tip, Bob....I'm putting it on my calendar. With my
luck with weather, that ought to put the death knell on THAT show. : )
Hey, how about a Kitfox get-together some fine weekend for anybody
who can make it there during their season?
I didn't realize that the state that I was born in (Allentown, PA...
35 miles from the Golden Age Air Museum) was so screwed up...TWO
Wrightsville's in the same state? What were they thinking?

Yup, that's my bird, and thanks, Paul.
Here's a shot I took while downwind for 18 ( or whatever the ~south
designation is ).
The other two are ground shots facing the north and facing the south.
The small gray patch in the north shot is the flat rock that I
mentioned sticks up about 2-3", but it doesn't look like it here. The
runway curves a bit to the right in this shot towards where the trees
get a bit lower...a bit of a notch, actually. I flew in over this
notch. The next shot is facing south and shows the fake buildings
that they use in their skits. You can see how the runway undulates a
bit. I made these last two shots (the day before I flew in) when we
visited the museum the day prior to their weekend show.
This is a great place to visit with our Kitfoxes, and I urge anybody
who has an interest in old planes, machinery, cars, engines, etc., to
take advantage of their generosity in allowing taildraggers to fly in
there. but be sure to call first to get permission. You need to get
in early and leave before noon, or plan to stay until past the show
or about 5 pm. It is a great place for a weekend trip. Our group of 4
planes...the others were all nose gear...flew into Kingston-Ulster
and tied down there for the two nights.
