You won't want to miss these new views at Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum

There are several new views and ways to experience the stories of Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum!

From aircraft movements to new displays for our bullet hole-riddled windows and historic 1940s fire truck, there is lots to see.

Below is a sneak peak into what's new at Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum.

Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum Aircraft On The Move

Visitors now have the opportunity to see some of their favorite aircraft outside in temporary locations. To accomodate necessary roof repairs of Hangar 79, the aircraft housed in the historic hangar have made their way to our outdoor exhibit space. Some of the aircraft are seeing the beautiful Hawaiian sun for the first time in a decade.

In the coming weeks, more aircraft will be moved to our outdoor exhibit space. You can currently view the F-5A Freedom Fighter, F-14D Tomcat, F-15 Eagle, F-4C Phantom II, F-86 Sabre, F-102A Delta Dagger, and our F-100F Super Sabre on the grounds of the battlefield.

Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum is located within two historic hangars -- Hangar 37 and Hangar 79 -- which were both present during the attack on Pearl Harbor. The evidence of the attack today is visible today, most famously in the Hangar 79 windows still riddled with bullet holes from December 7, 1941.

You can now see one panel of Hangar 79's windows in front of Hangar 37! View the aftermath of the date which will live in infamy with the Ford Island Control Tower rising behind the panel for a view that will inspire and honor the memories of the fallen.
