| The Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome’s Fleet
is presently decorated in the blue and yellow colors of the
Roosevelt School of Aviation and has a five-cylinder Kinner
radial engine. Known for their ruggedness and reliability,
Fleet Finch 16Bs were used extensively in the training of
Canadian RCAF pilots during the Second World War. For many
years the Fleet was a true workhorse of the Aerodrome doing
more than its share of balloon bursting, ribbon cutting and
bombing. It was also used to bring countless camera crews
from newspapers, TV networks and magazines from around the
world to photograph and experience the Aerodrome from the
air. |
