This may well be a surplus WWII Quonset hut. There were a lot of them sold after the war. 📷 Pentax K1000 🔘 Pentax M 28mm f/2.0 🎞️ Kodak Portra 400 #photography #streetphotography #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead #35mm #film #urbex #urbanexplorer #Quonsethut #Quonset #graffiti #Pentax #Kodak

In drier climates, even some WWII quonsets have survived. There are 3 U.S. military quonsets sold as surplus to Canada after the war that were used as theatres; one of those, in the Crowsnest Pass, is being refitted for use again (it closed 20 years ago).
#Quonsets are still commonly seen on the Canadian prairies. They make good, cheap equipment barns, so there are still new ones going up on farms and for storage of municipal road/construction equipment and that sort of thing.

Boeing 747-212 In the colours of Evergreen International, this classic airliner was parked for a number of years at Quonset State Airport, North Kingstown, Rhode Island. As such, she was seen by thousands each year during the Rhode Island Airshow. There then came a radical career change, as she was taken by barge to Washington D.C., following a repaint as one of the two VC-25A 'Air Force One' aircraft, the personal transport of the President of the United States. Now, this special exhibit is available for tours by students. #AirForceOne #VC25A #Boeing #evergreeninternational #boeinglovers #B747 #quonsetstateairport #Quonset #RhodeIsland #airshow #aircraft #airliner #VVIP #POTUS #President #USA #Washington #washingtondc #barge #students #avgeek #QOTS #jumbo

A WWII era #quonset hut in #anchorage #alaska. Surplus huts were erected by the hundreds beginning in 1947 when Anchorage was experiencing a housing shortage. A few of them are still inhabited. There was a backlash and even today it is the only specific building type banned in all zoning districts. An ingenious, elegant design. I was a volunteer on a book about Quonsets published in the late '90s [spent hours cleaning up 1940s magazine ads in Photoshop].

F-16C, Block 50 'Viper Demo' take-off. Seen at a Rhode Island Air Show, here we see a 'flight demonstration' F-16C, painted in a scheme to commemorate all 'Wild Weasel' aircraft. The F-16 has sufficient power and controllability to give a spectacular display! #USAF #WildWeasel #F16 #airshow #jetfighter #photography #RhodeIsland #USA #NewEngland #Quonset
