Come see scale-model, radio-controlled replicas of antique airplanes take to the skies at the 57th Mid-Hudson Radio Control Society Jamboree, set for Sept. 6–8 at the Aerodrome. Be sure to stick around for the exciting air shows — featuring authentic vintage planes — which are held every Saturday and Sunday through Oct. 20!

Gates open at 10 a.m. for the air shows, with pre-show activity starting at 2 p.m. and the shows starting at 2:30. Open-cockpit biplane rides are available before and after the air shows from 10 a.m. until twilight. The snack stand opens at noon.

The Saturday "History of Flight" program highlights the Pioneer Era before World War I and the Golden Age of Aviation in the 1920s and 30s. The Sunday air show is the World War I dog-fight spectacular, with a hero or heroine, the villainous Black Baron of Rhinebeck, scenery, pyrotechnics and a World War I tank, along with many antique automobiles.

Of course, the stars of the show are the historic airplanes, including a 1909 Bleriot, a Fokker DR-1 Triplane and a precise replica of the Spirit of St. Louis. There are usually between 15 and 20 flyable aircraft for each show.

The Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome's museum is open May 1–Oct. 31 from 10 a.m.–5 p.m.
