Biggest Little Airshow Honoring The Anniversary of the Battle of Midway

Inside… PACIFIC AVIATION MUSEUM PEARL HARBOR Helping to Plan the 75th Commemoration of the Attack on Pearl Harbor EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT

We welcome 2016 with a host of activities and projects. Yes, this is the 10th anniversary of Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor. It is also the 75th Commemoration of our reason for being, why the Museum is here on this historic site — the attack on Pearl Harbor. It is fitting that we spend this year looking back at 1941 and the historical moments leading up to the U.S. involvement in World War II.

Conflict was raging across Europe and China. At home, my father was a young sergeant in the Arizona National Guard. His Quarter Master unit was activated in August 1940 and sent to Texas. He had just graduated from Arizona State University and wanted to be a pilot. Manufacturing in the U.S. had already shifted from building cars to airplanes, like the Curtiss P-40, Douglas SBD Dauntless dive bomber and the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress.

Ford Island was an active seaplane port with Consolidated PBY Catalinas, Grumman Ducks, and Sikorsky Floatplanes in the air, daily. The Imperial Japanese Army Air Service and the Imperial Navy were flying new aircraft like the Mitsubishi A6M2 “Zeke”/“Zero,” Ken DeHoff Executive Director of Operations the Nakajima B5N2 “Kate” torpedo bomber, and the Aichi D3A “Val” dive bomber — all to be seen later, in Hawaii, on December 7, 1941.

As we remember and honor the 75th Commemoration of the attack on Pearl Harbor, we revisit our aircraft at Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor and study their pilots and their efforts in the fight that would last nearly five years. Our B-17E Flying Fortress 41-2446 was honored this past December with Disney-designed Swamp Ghost nose art. This year, we open the display of the surviving Nakajima B5N Kate serial number 302. Both aircraft still have years of work to be done, but for now, you may see these historic warbirds in Hangar 79 and hear the stories of their missions, crews, and recoveries.

This year is special — the 75th Commemoration — as we honor the sacrifices of those who flew these treasured aircraft and defended their nations. Please join us in a year of “Honoring the Past, Inspiring the Future” at America’s Aviation Battlefield on Ford Island.

9 “HONORING THE PAST, INSPIRING THE FUTURE” 75th Commemoration of the Attack on Pearl Harbor

Governor David Ige recently issued a formal proclamation, announcing the formation of a blue ribbon planning committee to orchestrate our national remembrance and tribute honoring the 75th commemoration of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Admiral Thomas Fargo, USN (RET), chairman of the official commemoration committee will oversee the planning and execution of events, educational programs, ceremonial tributes, and inspiring programs. The theme of the week long commemoration is, ‘Honoring the Past, Inspiring the future.”

The December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor and other airfields on the island of Oahu by Japanese naval air forces precipitated America’s entrance into WWII. Forever a symbol of American resilience and our resolve to defend freedom, the annual commemoration of the attack on Pearl Harbor fosters reflection, remembrance and understanding. Soon, the last of those who experienced the emotional awakening triggered on that “date which will live in infamy” will no longer be with us. Their patriotism, ingenuity, and selfless commitment to the greater good were core values of our “Greatest Generation,” a legacy that we must all take responsibility to pass on.

The events and programs planned throughout this 75th commemoration week will inspire all of us not only to remember those who served during WWII, but to remember, acknowledge and thank all men and women who have served or continue to serve our country. As a museum, we hold a very special challenge — to restore, preserve and use the lessons and artifacts of the past to teach, promote understanding, and inspire those who will lead our future.

Understanding history, both the events and the impact generated, inspires reverence and an emotional commitment to seek peaceful solutions to conflict. How do we teach future generations that understanding history empowers choices that negate fateful outcomes? A key focus of the 75th Commemorations will be to inspire a brighter future in our relationships not only with other nations, but between and among all people.

Please visit the official 75th commemoration website: www.PearlHarbor75thAnniversary.com and consider joining us throughout the week, meeting first-hand our WWII veterans, Pearl Harbor survivors, and experiencing programs and events that we know will inspire.

11 Volunteer Spotlight

Bob Szul retired to Oahu two years ago. He has been a Volunteer Docent for the Fort Worth Aviation Museum for two years prior, and enjoyed it immensely. He joined Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor in July of 2014 and went through the two week Pacific Aviation Museum Docent training program. Since then, he has also joined the Education Programs. “I’ve enjoyed working with everyone at Pacific Aviation Museum, both volunteers and staff,” Bob says. “Meeting people from foreign countries and visitors from the mainland has been a joy. In many cases, it is their first exposure to aircraft and the history of Pearl Harbor.”

Bob is an excellent Docent, an absolute fit with his background. Bob served in the Air Force for 8 years on active duty, and 22 years in the reserves. He flew as a Forward Air Controller in Vietnam in the O-2A, inserting Green Beret SOG troops into Laos and Cambodia, and trying to find those elusive trucks on the Ho Chi Minh Trail. He then transitioned to the B-52 and flew over SEA and the Hanoi 11 Day War. His final aircraft was the T-29, which was another prop aircraft, whose range was determined by how much oil you were carrying onboard.

In his civilian life, he worked for IBM for 30 years, mostly in the public sector, then 7 ½ years with Siemens in Homeland Security.

His wife, Gail (Zuly), is also a volunteer at the Museum, and can be seen driving the golf cart with her helmet and goggles.

Laurie McGinnis, Education Programs Manager, says Bob is in high demand with our student groups, as he uses his aviation experience to bring Hangar 79 stories to life.

Volunteer Coordinator

Introducing Consuela Rodriguez, our Museum’s new Volunteer Coordinator!

Having served as a volunteer in multiple organizations for over 20 years, Consuela understands the needs and wants of volunteers. And, she sincerely appreciates their expertise, dedication, and contribution!

Consuela has been a familiar face since April 2013 as a Museum staff member. Starting out in the Development Department, her current position as Administrative Coordinator is with the Education Department. She handles the double duty with ease, alongside both the Education team and volunteers. She simply enjoys working with diverse and experienced teams, inspiring growth and mission achievement.

Transitioning from one hat to another is second nature for Consuela, who was raised in a military family, and now belongs to the submarine community as a Navy spouse. So, in actuality, she’s wearing at least half a dozen hats on any given day — for her husband and parents, plus the Museum family!
