04 Apr QAM Closed for the Summer While Searching for New Home
Blizzard after blizzard might have caved in the roof this winter, but even Mother Nature can't cave in the spirits of the volunteers at the Quonset Air Museum. Beaten but not broken, QAM will be closed to visitors now through the summer while it searches for a new location.

12 Jun 60 years later, fighter pilot reunites with old warplane under restoration
NORTH KINGSTOWN - It's in much-worn pieces now, scattered about the deck of the Quonset Air Museum and on the apron outside, but the old man who smiled as he relaxed in its dismounted ejection seat Tuesday didn't seem to mind that. His name? It's stenciled on the cockpit of this early jet-era Navy aircraft, shining faintly through layers of paint, recording the remarkable fact that the man in the seat once flew this very aircraft six decades ago.
