Bio Narrative

 

Joseph A. Zinno, USAF 1943 - 1969
Ditching in the Sea of Japan
Building the Olympian
The Olympian Flies 1
The Olympian Flies 2
Short Film by Curt Worden, Joe's most ardent photographer during the Olympian trials

The Olympian hung in a hanger at Quonset Point Naval Air Station, Rhode Island for some years after the trials and the historic flight on April 21st 1976 at 8:16 am.

Today all that remains is the tail section (click to view then select Back to return).

We have great hopes of rebuilding a complete replica of the Olympian for an upcoming international documentary.
