The newspaper account of the crash<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Bruce started the conversation about our Albany plans with the comment, “I’ve come up with what will be the most interesting thing we’ve ever done! I sure hope you like it.” For weeks afterward, he wouldn’t tell me what it was although he finally broke down and said, “We’re taking a ride in an open cockpit biplane.” I really was looking forward to this since, in all the years I’ve flown, I’ve never been in a plane like this.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We went to the Rhinebeck Aerodrome with high anticipation and I was not disappointed, although Bruce was underwhelmed. Unfortunately, at the conclusion of the air show later that day, a pilot was killed when his plane crashed about three blocks from the field. The story is still interesting and the photos tell the story.<\/span><\/p>\n
