Hawaii Museum of Flying

It’s mission is to save aircrafts that were historical to Hawaii. Their goal is to restore these aircrafts and to educate the public about the aviation history in Hawaii. Both military and civilian aircraft history are within these goals, but only if the events took place in Hawaii. The biggest highlight is that children, as well as adults, can actually climb into the cockpit of a real fighter jet, don flight gear and take pictures.
