The Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome Museum's reproduction of Charles Lindbergh's Ryan NYP Spirit of St Louis (NX-211) made its first flight on December 5 in the hands of Ken Cassens. The New York-based project was started by Cole Palen in the 1970s after he obtained a Wright J-5 engine. Progress was halted for various reasons over time and Cole passed away in 1993 without seeing the aircraft completed.
