Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome

Located near Rhinebeck, New York, the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome contains an impressive collection of vintage airplanes.
James Henry “Cole” Palen (1925-1993) assembled this group of early airplanes and founded the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome in 1959. Many of the planes are partial or entire reproductions. Air shows are held throughout the summer months.
I don't know of a more extensive collection of flying WW I type planes anywhere in the world.
Also are photos from the Tillamook Air Museum

I was a plane fan, making model planes and researching their history when I was a teenager. Thanks for sharing these shots. Ananda

The airplane in the third row and three down is a North American B-25 Mitchell, mums the word.
