A salute for Brian Coughlin and Fokker D.VIII N94100. May Blue Skies and Fair Winds be Under your Wings…

I realize this is an old video, but it's cooler than sliced bread! What a great event. Thanks for sharing and posting for us to see. Thumbing up👍

I visited the Aerodrome while on a cross country bicycle tour and was heartened to see some of these old, original designs still flying even if some of them use safer, more reliable modern powerplants.

Watching that Fokker made my day, I almost dropped a tear; my god, what a beautiful machine. That engine!

I grew up near Rhinebeck, New York and some of my high school teachers used to fly and work on those old planes back around 1970. Whenever we had out of town visitors on summer weekends, we'd usually take them over for one of their flying shows. It makes me a little homesick watching this from out here in Los Angeles but it's nice to see the tradition continues.

Semi ecstatic watching these unbelievable gems hop around! The sounds are fantastic. My dad will love this too.

This is Brilliant!! Just to be able to hear these original engines running would be enough but seeing them taxi/fly: Brilliant! Being there in person would be the only improvement for me. The Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome is now on my A List. A very well recorded video-thank you for sharing with us all!

The Fokker Plane has always fascinated me ! The sound is so nice

[hughtierneytierney]

A person can feel quite emotional seeing these old bi-planes travelling with serene slowness, and I am one such person.

That Fokker must've looked so futuristic in 1918. I can't get my head around the fact this was a thing so many years ago.

This place is amazing. I have been there multiple times, and have loved every single one of them

My son's first flight was in the 1929 New Standard biplane at Old Rhinebeck... the photos are priceless.

Incredible place. I’m a classic car restorer and these are just fascinating to see operate and appreciate the true craftsmanship involved. I went in high school with my family and although I was a precocious teenager I still enjoyed the planes

[Wingmanl]

Thanks so much for sharing this, it's incredible to see these operational and not just as static museum pieces.

It was amazing to see "flying" those first "airplanes" of the history !

[kawkvulcan]

Thanks for posting! I never knew there were air shows for old planes like that! I certainly wouldn't take that long skinny plane, French hariot, above 6 feet either!

FAntastic! I Love the aileron control on the Curtiss! - Lean to the left, lean to the right!

Not sure about exact date, but sometime around late sixties (1960s!), while building x-country time for my commercial, I flew up to Rhinebeck, from Princeton Av. Overflying the field, I had thought I'd land and visit. In a PA-28, Piper Cherokee! That was the end of that idea. I was pretty good, had proven it, with short field work, was confident I could land there. With trees all around and at the ends of the strip ... the low pass down the runway was more than suffcient to end that idea. Very short by modern standards. And adding to the appreciation and talent of the guys who fly these ancient machines in and out of there. Good show, guys!

The old pioneer of flight had balls of steel. Some of those engines seem that the'd have trouble running a lawnmower. Let alone get a manned airplane up to elevation.
