Quonset has but one runway that could accommodate commercial airline traffic and it is barely longer than the 1960s era main runway at Green. Approach lighting fixtures would have to be placed out in the bay to mark the runway as at LaGuardia and Washington National airports. The other crosswind runway would have to be lengthened and the bay would need to be filled in to even make it marginally long enough for airliners. A zero chance of being able to mess with Narragansett Bay for projects of that magnitude. There are a host of other geographic and infrastructure issues that make Quonset impractical. These days many of even the most staunch Green Airport NIMBYS have laid the Quonset idea to rest. It's time the rest of us do as well.
