Very posssible, since they were built in the US, as well.

MarkRhinebeck has seen better days than the present time.
Hopefully things will change back for the better at some point in the future, time will tell I guess.
Here are some discussions about it:

Mark;
Thanks for the Aerodrome link,I never knew all the problems there,although I live 4 miles up the road...
My first week as a cabinetmaker after moving to the Rhinebeck area,I spent a week cutting Sitka spruce parts for a restoration....
Later worked for Dick King on his home....

tin canRhinebeck is a fabulous way to spend an afternoon or weekend- I went there the first time in the late 70's, I got there too late on a Saturday to see the show, but I asked a man there if I could look around and take some photos. He said sure go ahead, just don't get in or on any of the planes. I had the whole place to myself til the sun went down- and I LOVE old aircraft.
Cole Palen was still around then, as was Dave Fox. Maybe that has something to do with the quality issue these days.
