Pictures will be posted soon of The Antonov's new home at the Richmond Airport, in Richmond, Rhode Island!! It's great to watch progress in action!!

I first became aware of the Antonov during a visit to the Quonset Air Museum on the day they were disassembling the wings in preparation for the haul from Quonset to the Hangar at the Westerly Air Port in Westerly, Rhode Island.

Moving Day From Quonset Air Museum To Westerly Airport, And What A Trip It Was!!

The Summer of 2004 At The Westerly Airport Was One To Be Remembered. Met A Lot of Great People And Had A Lot Of Fun And Enjoyment From Getting My Car Hung-Up To Tom's Great Cookout Gatherings!!

The Antonov Foundation was fortunate to have a group of Boy Scouts who got involved with us trying to locate a number to on a find from the ocean which was retrieved by the Foundation's President!! It is believed that this is the parachute door from the F4 Phantom flown by Commander Harley Hall in the 1972 Quonset Naval Relief Carnival Air Show. Commander Hall had a problem and had to eject northwest of Jamestown. The airplane went into the bay. Its’ canopy was recovered many years ago by another commercial fisherman and is at the Quonset Air Museum. It is significant in that Commander Harley Hall survived the ejection just fine, but went on to become the last man missing in action in the Vietnam conflict. He was well liked and respected by all.
