A fundraiser at the Pacific Aviation Museum on Ford Island Thursday to save the aging control tower was held a few weeks ago. Contributions are still welcome. If you would like to support this effort please go to the museum support page.

Donations from the USAF Museum and the Hawaii Air National Guard have added five vintage jet aircraft to the Pacific Aviation Museum’s collection.  The additions include an F-4 Phantom, two F-86 Sabres, a MiG-15, and an F-102 Delta Dagger.

The five aircraft, from the Korean and Vietnam conflicts, are now housed in an 85,000 square foot Hangar 79 that is also home to an F-14 Tomcat, an F-15 Eagle, a Bell UH-1 “Huey,” a Bell AH-1 Sea Cobra, and a Stinson L-5.
