Spread across two historic hangars on Ford Island that were actually strafed during the December 7 attack, this aviation museum houses an impressive collection of WWII-era and Cold War aircraft including a rare Zero fighter and a B-17. The bullet holes still visible in Hangar 37 are genuinely chilling, and the interactive flight simulators are a hit with kids and adults alike. It complements the USS Arizona Memorial experience well and is included in many Pearl Harbor combo tickets. Ford Island access requires a shuttle bus from the main Pearl Harbor visitor center.
