If you are into airshows and like history, there is a great place very close to LRP: http://www.oldrhinebeck.org/

They fly WWI biplanes in dogfights, plus you can have a nice little Hudson river valley flight in a 1929 biplane. Airshow with a story around it (for the kids) every weekend in summer Sat & Sun. They also have an extensive museum in the hangars with more planes, cars and other things. There is also a functioning WWI tank.
