Destined to Fly (2016)

"Destined to Fly" is a 41-minute documentary film about Cole Palen, the founder of the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome. Founded in 1958, Cole's passion and vision to build, repair and fly antique airplanes transcends multiple generations forging connections through childhood experience, memory, and storytelling. But the community brought together by the romantic era of flight lost their hero after the death of Cole Palen in 1993. More than twenty years later, Cole's childhood dream is sustained by the now-grown children who were inspired at an early age by Cole's personal love for vintage aviation.
