I saw Cole fly that Great Lakes many times. It was one of many favorites for me too.

ever since i read an article when i was a young teenager in the 60's I've wanted to see this place haven't gotten there yet

I’ve had two trips to Rhinebeck.
On my first trip I saw Cole fly. It was his last season because he passed before the following summer. I hope to return in 2022.

This has motivated me to get my friends, their families, and my own out to the aerodrome. I've never been there, despite living within 1-2 hours for most of my life. Time to enjoy this world-class gem - and with such an intimate atmosphere, I am sure it will be memorable.
