-WHAT IT'S ABOUT-


If you don't know the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome,

it's been doing these shows for 60+ years.


It's located near beautiful Rhinebeck, NY.


The Aerodrome has a wonderful museum

of antique aircraft and artifacts

plus

the airshow

which features the flying aerobatics of aircraft older than you are.


It's the past being offered to you in the present!


 ~~~~~

 

There's no reserved grandstand seating.

Seating is on bleachers - pretty much splinter free ha, ha

or

BYO lawn chair.

-T&E's ROLE IN THIS EVENT-


1) publicize the event

2) put attendees in touch with each other beforehand

so they can car pool and go together

 

The T&E event point person is Monty Rackow.

Monty's role is to collect names, emails and phone numbers of those interested.


By 9/3, please tell Monty if you're going.


On 9/10 Monty will email all attendees to inform them who's going.

 

Those who are willing to drive can then reach out to the others to inform them of

willingness to drive, passenger capacity (remember to allow space for folding chairs), coolers, etc.


Those needing a ride should apprise the others.

 

Attendees will self-organize car pools; T&E will not be arranging them.
