1 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT

Though only two months into the New Year, 2014 promises to be a year of great energy, great achievement, and great demand on both our human and financial resources. The excitement and anticipation are growing as we both improve and expand our programs and exhibits to deliver dynamic experiences to visitors of all ages. 2013 was a record year with attendance climbing by 20% - reaching an all-time high of 224,000 visitors.

We are hard at work to prepare for another record-breaking year and deliver an experience to all visitors that meets or exceeds expectation. The rapid pace of museum improvement projects continues as we plan to not only complete the projects begun last year, but initiate new and exciting efforts to take the museum experience to the next level. A key new offer to all museum visitors will be the availability of a hand-held audio tour guide, available in multiple languages. This device will allow our visitors to better enjoy and learn from our exhibits.

As you will read in this NOTAM, our Education Department has formalized program offerings to support youth education and engage our community at large. Youth programs are offered not only on the museum grounds on Ford Island, but in schools throughout our state. We are excited to also welcome visiting school and youth groups from the mainland and neighboring Pacific nations.

In response to your feedback and reviews by visitors, our public program schedule has been expanded. Monthly community programs will highlight our collections and bring to our museum and theater noted local and national celebrities to share their stories and engage all of us in challenging and informative discussions.

We are also going green! Electrical power is high on our agenda as the 162% rate increase severely impacts monthly expenses. Working with our Navy partners, we hope to move forward with the installation of photovoltaic panels on Hangar 37, vastly reducing our energy consumption.

Focus on restoring the historic Control Tower continues to take precedence. The exterior repairs completed in 2012 positioned us to undertake the rest of the restoration work. We recently installed new glass windows in the second level of the Aerological Tower. Nan Construction, under the guidance of architect Glenn Mason, refurbished the frames, installing the glass and doors to the original 1941 look. Grant and donor support is being sought to complete the Aerological Tower, enabling us to open at least one portion of this iconic red and white Ford Island Control Tower to the public. Funding is also still needed to restore the elevator and the control cab (the last step in providing the public with full access to the Tower), and complete interior restoration to support development of educational classrooms, a library, and administrative offices.

Hats off to the Restoration Team, as they moved the reassembled B-17E Swamp Ghost onto the Hangar 79 apron. This 90-day engineering feat brings this reassembled historic aircraft back into public display. You can read more about this amazing effort in the Restoration section of this publication.

Watch for news and updates on the fast approaching Biggest Little Airshow radio control extravaganza. Planning is underway for this great event, providing thousands of visitors of all ages and backgrounds the exciting world of radio-controlled flight. Aerial displays, static full-sized aircraft exhibits, education and hands-on booths for youth, model exhibits, vendor stands, food, and fun are planned for all.

I’d like to personally thank you for your support and encourage you to share your affiliation with Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor with your friends. Whether visiting with us in person, or exploring our organization online, Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor remembers and honors the spirit of our past in hopes of building the foundation for our future.

Aloha

3 Aloha from Lt. Ted Shealy’s Restoration Shop

Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor is dedicated to protecting our aviation artifacts from deterioration and corrosion, and restoring them as closely as we can to their original state. This By Jim Martinelli requires not just knowledge, but the use of skills and tools that might be as museum-worthy as Restoration Manager the artifacts themselves! This is part of the fun of joining our volunteer team.

In turn, we at Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor benefit from the participation of younger volunteers, who are interested in learning more about the aircraft and the impact of their service. Mentoring these young craftsmen is extremely rewarding.

The first two months of 2014 were a particularly busy time for the restoration shop. A steady stream of volunteers completed the incredible task of engineering, manufacturing, and placing display stands under the B-17E “Swamp Ghost.” Each stand — six in all — had to be custom- engineered to suspend the airframe in its belly-landed position.

The airframe suffers from extensive corrosion from its time in the swamp, which created challenges in attaching the stands to the airframe structure. Our team was dedicated to accurately showcasing this aircraft. The result is an authentic view of Swamp Ghost at rest after landing.

Work on the C-47 is progressing well. The Wright R-1820 engines and Hamilton Standard propellers have been fully restored to their original factory colors. Now, the focus has shifted to the landing gear and cowlings. Once these are complete, prepping for the exterior work will begin. The plan is to re-paint the C-47 in its original World War II colors. This C-47 served with the 40th Troop Carrier Squadron. Volunteer Opportunities! Join the team that keeps history alive. Part of our mission is to remember and honor key dates, achievements, and stories related to Lt. Ted Shealy’s Restoration Shop volunteers Pacific region aviation. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the start of official U.S. combat needed – great camaraderie, mentoring operations in Vietnam.

7 BY BURL BURLINGAME Power of One

In our fast paced lives, we often forget that one person can still make an incredible impact on the world! Many dedicated leaders and supporters stand out in the history of Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor. The idea to open a museum on Ford Island grew out of the hearts and minds of volunteers dating back to 1996. Though many changes in direction occurred during those early planning years, a commitment to the broader vision remained resolute to: 1) restore the historic hangars and control tower on Ford Island, Pearl Harbor; 2) house a museum and education center in these buildings that would focus on Pacific aviation, presenting and interpreting the national and international impact and human stories inspired by the events of December 7, 1941 and beyond; and 3) advance the opportunity to use aviation and history as a tool to teach, inspire, prepare, and challenge the next generation.

The project grew wings, in a sense, under the leadership and stewardship of Admiral Ronald Hays. He took the helm and, with the support of other visionaries involved in launching this effort, built a strong leadership board and engaged Navy and government leaders and donors not only in Hawaii, but throughout the country. Under his watch, Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor became a reality, opening the doors to the first of four planned structures on December 7, 2006. It was an incredible achievement, raising just under $15 million to support Phase 1 of the master plan. More than 1 million visitors and 62,500 students later, the museum “The preservation of this is again poised for a “next step.” history justifies the efforts After 14 years of service as the Chairman of the Museum’s Board of Directors, Admiral Hays announced his desire to step down from the chairmanship position. His involvement will being applied.” continue, however, as both Chairman Emeritus and as a supporter to help ensure that the funds required to complete the master plan are indeed raised. According to Admiral Hays, “Upon completion, a stroll through the hallowed grounds of Ford Island will feature the tragic beginning –Admiral Ronald Hays and the victorious conclusion of World War II and the valiant performance of our military forces that preserved our freedom during conflicts in Korea, Vietnam, and the Cold War. The preservation of this history justifies the efforts being applied.”

After 13 years on both the Board of Directors and Executive Committee, Admiral Zlatoper has accepted the leadership role of Chairman of the Board. Like his predecessor, Admiral Zlatoper is dedicated to governing the continued growth of the museum, and to realizing the long-term vision. Completing the iconic control tower so that it can be opened to the public remains a top priority. Restoration and build-out of exhibits envisioned for Hangars 79 and 54 are also on-going efforts. As a National Historic Landmark, these structures combine to share the story of individual and national spirit that molded the American character. Within these buildings, we will present the history, artifacts, educational programs, and human stories that not only honor the heroes of our past, but prepare the leaders of our future.

Our new Chairman, Admiral R.J. “Zap” Zlatoper, USN ( Ret), was Commander in Chief, US Pacific Fleet before successful careers as a high tech CEO and trustee of a large land estate. A Vietnam and Desert Storm combat experienced aviator with over 4,500 flight hours and 1,000 carrier landings, he has a lifetime commitment to telling the story of aviation. He is a member of Naval Aviation’s Golden Eagles and a founding donor for the Pacific Aviation Museum Peral Harbor. Admiral Zlatoper shared, “It is an honor, and somewhat daunting, to succeed a leader and visionary of Admiral Hays’ status. Ron Hays has been a personal mentor and counselor to me for almost thirty-five years. His accomplishments at Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor are the stuff of legends and he is truly ‘leaving on top.’ I look forward to working with the Board and the Executive team to bring our visions to realization.”
