Rocco Mazzola, 6, of Waterford, watches as a barge carrying a vintage Douglas F-3D Skyknight to the Empire State Aerosciences Museum in Glenville passes through Erie Canal Lock 2 in Waterford on Saturday.
The state canal system opened a few days early Saturday so vintage planes could make their way from New York City to the Empire State Aerosciences Museum in Glenville.
