When Major General Reginald Centracchio and the Rhode Island National Guard visited Battleship Cove to dedicate the museum's newly restored Cobra Attack Helicopter, they arrived in style via a Black Hawk Helicopter (above). You, however, will probably arrive by more conventional aircraft.

Fortunately, Battleship Cove is located near two international airports: Logan International Airport in Boston (MA), and T.F. Green Airport in Providence (RI). Additionally, the museum is close to a number of smaller regional airports in New Bedford, Worcester, Hyannis, and Martha's Vineyard.
