A Day At the Aerodrome

Post by Coreyeagle48 » Sun Jul 30, 2006 1:45 pm

Corey's Aerodrome Is Operational For Flying In 2006

After years of collecting, Corey's Aerodrome located in the beautiful area of eastern PA known as the Lehigh Valley is open for business. A small crowd today visited the Aerodrome and was treated to a small but detailed collection of vintage aeroplanes.

The oldest airplane to fly was the 1911 Curtiss Pusher with the famous Glenn Curtiss himself at the controls. Also flown was the Fokker Triplane, one of the collection's Spads and the Sopwith Camel.

Unfortunately a little mishap occured when Captain Jack Mack tried to fly the collection's Green Jenny. No one seemed to tell him the airplane was under restoration and he ended up into a tree. Fortunately, the Jenny is slow and Captain Mack was not hurt. The Jenny was left sitting in its position and flying resumed.

The Aerodrome's prices are reasonable too. $5.00 to get in, $3.00 for a ride and a crash is FREE!!

Hangars will be built in the future for the Aerodrome's collection, which currently resides on shelves next to a big screen TV.

Being serious now! LOL All planes are about 1/12 scale. The pusher is an original Cox flying model given to me by my grandfather, all others are the Authentic models World War I collection

Figures are dollhouse figures
