Kingston Guards Vintage Base Ball at the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome

In addition to their weekend air shows, antique bi-plane flights and mid-week Flight Night events, the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome will also be hosting several vintage base ball games featuring the Kingston Guards (baseball was spelled with two words back in the 1800s).

• Friday, June 12, 5:30 p.m. vs. Bovina Dairymen
• Friday, July 10, 5:30 p.m. vs. Ulster Nine
• Friday, Aug. 14, 5:30 p.m. vs. Rip Van Winkle VBBC

Of course, no trip to the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome would be complete without taking your very own flight in an authentic 1929 New Standard D-25 open-cockpit biplane. There is even a Lighthouse Tour that gives you a breathtaking view from the air of Saugerties Light, Rondout Light and Esopus Meadows Light, among the many other treasures of the Hudson Valley.
