Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome /CA023D

Stampe SV-4

The Stampe was designed by Jean Stampe of Belgium as an aerobatic trainer for the French government. After only ten planes were delivered, the Second World War precluded further production. The Stampe was noted for its superb flying qualities and aerobatic capability. It was a favorite amongst pilots. In a post-war attempt to promote civil aviation the French government sold as many as 500 Stampes to Aeroclubs for  one Franc each.

This example is privately owned and operated by Aerodrome pilot, Gene DeMarco.
