Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome:
Biplane Rides!
See the beauty of New York’s historic Hudson Valley from the air in a classic 1929 New Standard open-cockpit biplane! Passengers are flown over the Hudson River and back at a cost of $75.00 per person. The New Standard seats up to four passengers, so you can share this incredible experience with your friends and relatives. Flights are booked on a first come/first serve basis every Saturday and Sunday June through October. The rides booth opens at 10:00AM on airshow weekends. Always a favorite with our guests these rides book quickly so arrive early to ensure a seat. Sorry we cannot reserve rides on the weekends. Pre-arranged weekday rides and gift certificates are also available. Call 845-752-3200 for details.
We are proud to be able to offer this unique opportunity to our visitors. Unfortunately circumstances beyond our control such as weather and wind conditions sometimes cause flights to be delayed or canceled. In the event of flight cancellations, ride tickets are fully refundable. The decision to fly or not is at the sole discretion of the pilot.
As the Barnstormer of yesterday used to say, - "We’ll take you high or low, fast or slow, anywhere you care to go. It's worth the ride just to see whether you like it or not! Fly over your house to see who is visiting your wife. Special one-way trips for mothers-in-law. Our pilot will set you down so softly that even the grass won’t object."
