Two of the all-Black elite force of WWII pilots known as the Tuskegee Airmen will speak at Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor, as part of the Museum’s Lecture Series. The famed airmen will be fresh from being special invited guests at Commander-in-Chief Barack Obama’s inauguration, but during and after WWII, they faced major prejudice in service to the country they loved.

Tuskegee Airmen book signings and “Red Tail” P-51 model aircraft signings will follow in the Museum Store. Alexander Jefferson’s book is titled, Red Tail Captured.

As always... we're UNDER CONSTRUCTION...

Setting up the walls to test the look and scale of the new exhibit.

Checking the spacing of the walls and their placement to better 'reveal' our main gallery area.

Can't wait for 'it' to open... and for all of you to come down as see it.

Nope, no one here had a baby, but we do have a new airplane! an F-15 to be more accurate... I've created a photo album for anyone that would like to see shots all along the way as the barge delivered the fighter to good ol' terra firma and its journey to Hangar 79.

Later when we have access to the photos of them loading the F15 on the barge, I'll put those up in the album.

In late July, a contingent of Royal Air Force Pilots took a tour of the Museum and brought a friend with them. Tederrick the iii enjoyed his photo session with many of the exhibits. I've posted a few of them here. The 1st picture is Tederrick on the F14 that we have housed in Hangar 79 waiting on restoration. The 2nd is the group heading back to Hangar 37. They were here for RIMPAC and were a delight to have on tour :) - Raye
