In article wJHKb.239677$8y1.1083757@attbi_s52,
Michael 182 wrote: And Rhinebeck, NY - never been there but I've heard it's great. The museum and flying displays are great. The runway there is not up to modern standards, to put it mildly. The runway has a hill at one end, a big dip in the middle, trees all around and a gravel road running across the middle of it. IIRC, the length is in the 1500ft range, but don't quote me on that. I've never flown in, just watched the show from the ground. Most of the planes that fly at Rhinebeck have no brakes, and very slow speeds. The procedure for the show planes is to taxi up to the top of the hill and then take off down the hill and be airborne before the road, because that is where the runway starts up hill again. Landings are made just after the road, with wing walkers (runners actually) to catch the inevitable ground loops. The planes are light enough that a wing walker grabbing a wing can keep the plane from ground looping. John -- John Clear - http://www.panix.com/~jac |

Which brings to the fore a question: How many aviation museums really ARE accessible by light plane? I know, for example, that my two favorite museums (the Air Force Museum in Ohio, and the Strategic Air Command Museum in Nebraska) are NOT accessible by aircraft. There is a hangar at PJY that deserves to be on this list. Never made it down there, but I've seen the pictures. 8^) ---------------------------------------------------- Del Rawlins- Remove _kills_spammers_ to reply via email.

There's a small WWII museum at PUB (Pueblo, CO). It's right behind
the FBO. |

As of a month ago, they are still open, and reported they had for now gotten
over the money crunch. Ron Paul Tomblin wrote: In a previous article, "Jay Honeck" said: Which brings to the fore a question: How many aviation museums really ARE accessible by light plane? I know, for example, that my two favorite The National Warplane Museum is right next door to the FBO at Elmira. However, considering how much financial trouble they appeared to be in last time I looked, I wouldn't bet on them still being in business next time you fly there. The Canadian National Aviation Museum http://www.aviation.nmstc.ca/eng/english_home.html is at Rockcliffe Airport in Ottawa, and it appears you can taxi over, but I've never tried it. -- "The magic of usenet has never been its technology; and, only in part, its reach.

Planes of Fame also has a branch in northern Arizona, at the Valle airport
near the Grand Canyon. I haven't been there, but have heard good reports from friends who have. http://www.planesoffame.org/valle.htm Mike "Larry Smith" wrote: I guess the museum is still at Santa Monica, CA and the Planes of Fame Museum in Chino, both on airports. |
