Air Force Magazine Cole Palen like many, began his interest in aviation at a very young age. And that meant building model airplanes. Our Model Airplane Museum is chocked full of aircraft Cole built not as a boy, but in later years between constructing the full size machines.

After a hectic air show and the “full size” aircraft were all tucked away in their hangars. It would be quite common to see him again out on the grass runway; not as the “Evil Black Baron,” but enjoying a summer evening flying free flight rubber models of the frailest nature. This was part of Cole’s special charm that we all admired so much.

The Mid Hudson RC Society hold their annual RC WWI Jamboree every year at Old Rhinebeck, a tradition Cole Palen began nearly 40 years ago.

Aviation pioneers like the Wright Brothers, Clarence Chamberlin, A.V. Roe and countless others began with model aircraft before reaching new heights of aviation fame.
