Yep, great shots of some very interesting aircraft. Thanks for sharing. Good to see VF-31 'The Tomcatters' F-14D Tomcat on display - although it is no doubt just a hollow shell of it's former self because of the US Govt's Iranian air force paranoia. That F-15 cockpit would have been state-of-the-art once!  |

A truly world-class museum if ever there was one. We first visited in August 2009 and were impressed with the quality of the displays. Our most recent visit was in June of last year and the changes in such a short time were impressive. Since then it's almost become a different museum again with additions etc. I reckon we'll barely notice the place as it is changing so much. Going to be hard to fit it in with the rest of the excellent Pearl Harbor tour on one day!
Also the future home of Flying Fortress "Swamp Ghost" which is ever so slightly awesome.

What a superb collection! Thanks so much for sharing the pics. I listened to that interview, Dave, and my interest was piqued. I believe this is the museum which now houses the infamous "Home Depot" Zero which was "restored" by Bob Diemert for the CAF in the 1970s...now very much grounded.
TWO Dauntlesses?! May we have one?

What I want to know it how you use the thrust levers in the B52....need an enormous hand for all those thrust levers!
