This was the 9th annual Air Head at the Aerodrome camp out and swap meet. It was held at the Dutchess County Wilcox Park in Milan NY on June 25-27. The price for 2 nights of camping and a Saturday dinner was $20 for those who pre-registered. Air Heads refers to those traditional opposed twin air cooled BMWs and the Aerdrome of old airplanes is nearby in Rhinebeck NY and there is a ride there on Saturday to watch the air show.

We visited on Saturday afternoon (June 26). The park is located on route 199 near the Taconic Parkway. This is a very scenic area for motorcycle riding. The park itself is huge with lots of space and privacy for the Airheads. There was a good cross section of BMWs from all years and models plus some Guzzis and other makes. Most who attended rode in by cycle packing their camping gear with them.
