Aeroplane in Castleton

 Several yrs ago I wrote a blog about the first airplane landing in my hometown in Castleton NY 12033. I subsequently discovered a New York Times article about that event. Since my traffic has increased  in the last couple of yrs I wanted to repost where to find the article. Go to Google for instance and type in Aeroplane in Castleton and the article will come up. My ancestors were there and a couple of great uncles for instance took a crayon and wrote their initials on the canvas wing. Enjoy the post about the day Castleton N.Y. became the center of aviation in atleast the USA in 1911 and inspired a great uncle of mine to become an aviator with the 73rd Aero Squadron  in World War One.
