Discover more about Revolutionary Relic Planes

Revolutionary Relic Planes offers a unique glimpse into Grenada's aviation history, particularly its Cold War connections. Located in the scenic landscapes of Upper Pearl, Saint Andrew, this outdoor exhibit showcases a collection of historical aircraft with intriguing stories. The main attractions are two derelict Antonov planes: a Soviet crop duster (AN-2R) gifted to Grenada and a Cuban airliner (AN-26). These planes serve as relics from the Grenadian Revolution and the subsequent U.S. invasion in 1983. The Cuban plane, it is said, arrived the day before the invasion, carrying two Cuban officials. The planes, damaged during the invasion, have remained at the site ever since, exposed to the elements. Visitors can explore the aircraft, peering into the cockpits and fuselages, though most of the valuable parts have been scavenged over the years. Informative plaques provide historical context, enhancing the experience for aviation enthusiasts and history buffs. The surrounding area is well-maintained, offering picnic tables and a secure environment. The site provides a serene atmosphere for reflection amidst Grenada's lush scenery.
