* Saturday, July 12, 2008 - Old Rhinebeck
Aerodrome
NJACE is organizing a unique Corvair meet at the Old
Rhinebeck Aerodrome on July 12, 2008. (Rain date is July 13th). All of the
regional Corvair clubs are invited. Please plan on arriving between 9:00 AM
and 9:30 AM.
The Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome is a true "living" museum of
antique aviation located in Rhinebeck, New York. It presents one of the
largest collections of early aeroplanes in the world, many of which regularly
take to the air in all their glory during our weekend airshows. The Aerodrome
features aeroplanes, automobiles, motor- cycles, early engines and memorabilia
from 1900-1935.
In addition to the airshows, there are four museum
buildings displaying aircraft form the Pioneer Era, World War I and the
Lindbergh/Barnstorming era. These were the golden years of aviation.
Caravan from North Jersey: NJACE will be gathering on July 12th at the first rest
stop on the NY Thruway north after leaving NJ a 7:30 am. We will leave a 8:00
am and “caravan” to the Rhinebeck Aerodrome. The rain date will be July 13th.
Other Clubs Invited: We have had good responses from four of the area Corvair
Clubs. We are going to have a good turnout from other clubs in the surrounding
areas of NH, MA, PA, NY, and NJ. Many have said they had been to the Aerodrome
before. We are looking forward to an exciting event.
Cost: The cost is $15 per person. Corvair folks will be given
wrist bands for entry and that band would be acceptable for Sunday as well.
Food & Lodging: Food will be available on site or you may bring a lunch.
The lodging hotline for the Rhinebeck area is [845]
876-8626. Restaurants in the area are: Fosters Coach House [845- 876-8052];
Four Brothers [845-876-3131]; Cappucino [845-876-1331] and Double O
[845-876-7655].
Directions: The Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome is located in
historic Rhinebeck, New York and can easily be reached by car using the
Taconic State Parkway or the New York State Thruway. Picnic and parking
facilities are free.
From the North, South, West: New York State Thruway Exit
19 to Rt. 209 North. Follow signs to Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge. Cross over
the Hudson River. Right turn at the second traffic light onto Route 9G South.
Next traffic light, turn left onto Route 9 North for 1/2 mile. Right onto
Stone Church Road for 1-1/2 miles. Left on Norton Road. From the East: Mass.
Pike or I-84 to Taconic State Parkway. Exit at Rt. 199 Rhinebeck/Red Hook. Rt.
199 west for 6.8 miles. Left onto Orlich Road, then an almost immediate right
onto Norton Road for 1-1/2 miles.
Early Arrivals: For those going to the
Rhinebeck area on June 11th (or sooner), you'll likely arrive before the NJ
contingent. The early arrivers should to drive about 200 feet past the main
entrance and go to the "service" entrance on the left near one of the old
hangars. The Aerodrome will have personnel there at about 9:00 AM. The main
contact person is Neil Herman. The main phone number is 845-752-3200. For GPS
users, the location of the Aerodrome is "Stone Church Road, Rhinebeck, NY".
Weather: If the weather is "mixed" we'll go
anyway because sometimes they put on a reduced show. If it is raining, please
call Ken Schifftner on his cell phone. The number is 201-248-9644.
Fuel: Note for folks driving from
"South". There is NO GAS at the first service area on the Thruway so folks
should be topped up before that. If you come up Route 287, there are plenty of
gas stations on the way. A suggestion would be to get gas in Pompton Lakes,
Kinnelon, or Oakland. In a pinch, there is a service area further north on the
Thruway, prior to the exit for the Kingston-Rhinebeck Bridge.
Return Trip: The return trip will
take us down Route 9 to the Hyde Park mansions. If anyone cares to go to Hyde
Park you are welcome to do so. There is no planned food stop on the trip back.
There will be updates in the July Fanbelt.
