My youngest daughter takes me every Father's Day to the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome for the museum and airshow. I've finally gotten around to posting the pictures from this year in my photo album on my profile page. Any help identifying the antique civilian aircraft that flew that day would be much appreciated. I've attached here two of my favorites.
