12h agoA Madison County man was killed in a plane crash during the Saturday Air Show at the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome in Dutchess County.
A post on the Museum's Facebook page says that “Brian Coughlin, of Cazenovia, longtime Aerodrome volunteer and Board Member” was killed when a World War I replica plane “went down off the south end of the runway.”
The aircraft was a replica of a World War I Fokker D-VIII. Red Hook police say the engine caught on fire due to an unknown mechanical error.
This was the second plane crash this year for the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome. A mid-air collision happened this past summer. There were no injuries reported in that incident.
The air show scheduled for Sunday was canceled. The museum will also be closed.
A museum statement says the Federal Aviation Administration was alerted about the incident. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating.
News 12 featured the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome during "Road Trip: Close to Home" last month.
