    About

    The museum fills historic hangars 37 and 79 and the Operations Building on Ford Island with more than 50 aircraft and exhibits. General admission includes free audio tours, Open Cockpit access to selected aircraft and a rooftop terrace. A guided hangar tour, flight simulators and Ford Island Control Tower visits are paid upgrades. Because Ford Island is an active base, most visitors ride a shuttle from the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center.
