NORTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. – Scattered around the Quonset Air Museum in North Kingstown are pieces of former U.S. Navy pilot Joe Zebrowski’s past.
The 85-year-old man traveled nearly 3,000 miles to get one last look at the F2H-3 Banshee he flew nearly 60 years ago.
The airplane still had his name on it.
“This is a great honor. I’m humbled,” Zebrowski said after receiving a photograph with the former pilot standing in front of a Banshee.
The airplane is currently being restored after decades of abandonment in Ohio. It’s one of 11 remaining Banshee’s in the country.
Zebrowski flew a different Banshee during a training mission over the Mediterranean in 1957.
