Naval Air Museum Barber's Point
An introduction to the Naval Air Museum Barbers Point,
an aircraft museum located at the Kalaeloa Airport in
West Oahu.
The Naval Air Museum Barber's Point - aka
the Hawaii Museum of Flying - was established
on January 19, 1999 to preserve, restore,
and display aircraft significant in the history of the
Naval Air Station at Barbers Point and other aircraft relevant to naval aviation history in Hawaii.
Another goal of the museum is to educate the
general public about those aircraft.
One of the highlights of a visit the museum
is being given an opportunity to climb inside
the cockpit of a real fighter jet, wear flight
gear, and take photographs.
