A 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.
