Quonset Air Museum

The Quonset Air Museum’s (QAM) mission was to educate the public in Rhode Island aviation legacy through activities, hands-on displays and school classroom presentations, both in the school and at the museum.

Educational, interactive displays were throughout the museum, some related directly to the many aircraft on display.

Below were just a few from our collection

The A-6 worked around the clock in Vietnam, conducting attacks on the targets with a pinpoint accuracy unavailable through any other aircraft at that time. The A-6E proved once again that it is the best all-weather precision bomber in the world in the joint strike on Libyan terrorist-related targets in 1986.

Aircraft restoration was an on-going activity at the QAM where we had highly talented, skillful people, acting as mentors willing to give anyone interested in learning a basic understanding of what restoration is all about.

Creative, interesting displays at the museum provided a wealth of information addressing all topics of aviation providing visitors with a clear understanding of the history and science of aviation.

The museums is currently closed with no plans to be re-opened.

QAM was housed on 3 acres in an original Naval Air Station Quonset Point hangar built in 1945.
