Beautiful plane and perfect landing!
Pilot Dave King truly is the best!
This Dr.1 has the stubby landing gear. Nice video ..... and NO music, great to hear the engine!
The engine IS the music!
I went to a couple of Rhinebeck airshows back in the 70's.. Good memories!
My dream has always been to be a part of the airshows since seeing them as a kid. What are the requirements?
great job well done; a three pointer in a fokker can be done! too many guys coming in so fast then flipping it, I'm going to try this technique in mine
Great video from a great place. Must admit I slightly prefer the rotary engine powered example which I was lucky enough to see on a visit many years ago flown by Cole Palen as the Black Baron. This one I gather is easier to maintain.
Tony, "Old #1" is currently on display on our museum, Quonset building 2. Check it out during your next visit!
I first visited in 1978. Until then I had never learned of the rotary engine. I found them fascinating. Are any of the planes being flown these days equipped with a rotary?
@@Bal4833 yes , as of my last visit in 2018.
@@OldRhinebeckAerodrome yes , was there in 2018 and saw it though did not know I was looking at was used to fly years ago. Should start memorizing N numbers! N numbers (in my photos) told me I have taken a ride in both the Standards. You have a wonderful place may it live forever!
Robert Balsbaugh Hi Robert, currently our airworthy rotary powered airplanes are the Sopwith Pup, Fokker DVIII, and Caudron G-3.
