Pearl Harbor will officially open the Pacific Aviation Museum on December 7th 2006. It will be on Ford Island at the old control tower and hangars. I just got off the phone with them, put in my name as a volunteer. I dont care if they need someone to sweep floors while they work on these things, I WANT IN!! lol The curator said they have lots of volunteers, but maybe a chance I can get in next month or September, as they get closer to opening.

They are putting together a A6M2 right now, and have a F4F-3 on the way. I think I died and went to heaven.

The Zero being trucked in. Here's a link to the story on the Zero.

The newsletter says they have been donated a F-14D for the newer portions of the museum too!

Who knows, maybe this Japanese bird had bullet holes from a VF-17 or VMF-214 Corsair! *sniff*

I dunno, they don't much like having zero's fly around Hawaii much. Better to truck it in.
