Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum
Source

The Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum, previously known as the Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor, is a non-profit organization that was established in 1999. The primary aim of this organization was to develop an aviation museum in Hawaii. This museum is a part of Senator Daniel Inouye's vision for the revival of Ford Island and houses a variety of aviation exhibits, most of which are directly related to the attack on Pearl Harbor and World War II.

Hangar 37 and its Exhibits

The first section of the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum, known as hangar 37, was opened to the public on December 7, 2006. This section of the museum features many static exhibits. These exhibits showcase the damage from the attacks on Pearl Harbor that occurred on December 7, 1941. The museum has been involved in community events ranging from the preservation of historical landmarks to educational tours throughout Hawaii.

    While most visitors find the museum engaging and educational, some note that it can be overwhelming due to the amount of information presented. A few reviewers mention that certain areas of the museum could benefit from updates or renovations.

    The museum's location on an active military base means visitors need to plan transportation, as personal vehicles are not allowed. Some find this aspect inconvenient, while others appreciate the authenticity it adds to the experience.
