Since I live down the road from Quonset Point I figured I'd post any NAS Quonset Point related pictures in this thread. I will add more as I stumble across them.

I read that the Quonset Pt. Air Museum will be closed to visitors now through the summer while it searches for a new location. They had a rough winter that damaged their building.

Keep the NAS QP pics coming!

I spent a lot of Saturdays down there as a kid going to airshows. Lots of great memories, from seeing my first ever F-14 ('76 maybe?) to bringing a P-3C in for a static display a few years back...man, that NCO club was a good time after the show! Lots of Johnson and Wales U students!
