Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor, Aviation museum on Ford Island, United States.

The Pacific Aviation Museum occupies two World War II-era hangars and displays aircraft along with military objects from the Pearl Harbor attack period. The collection includes different types of aircraft and tells the story of that moment through objects directly connected to these events.

The museum opened in December 2006 to mark the 65th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack, with its first hangar opening for visitors right away. These buildings were selected because they had been part of the original attack on the island.

Hangar 79's glass windows still carry bullet holes from the Japanese aircraft of 7 December 1941, and the museum keeps the wreck of a Zero fighter flown by Shigekazu Nishikaichi of the carrier Hiryu, displayed as it crashed on Niihau. A 10-foot-tall, 40-foot-wide diorama of the Battle of Midway, built over three years by former US Navy pilot Karl Lau, is also on show.

Ford Island is still part of the active Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, so visitors reach the museum by tour bus from the Pearl Harbor Historic Sites at Halawa Landing, where tickets are bought. Those with US military ID may instead cross the Ford Island bridge checkpoint. The museum opens daily from 9:00 to 17:00.

The Ford Island control tower is 158 feet (48 m) tall, not 51 metres, and its steel stairs, landings and beams are being repaired by Kiewit Building Group under a project budgeted at over $7,500,000. The tower and runway have been a national historic landmark since 1964, and the tower appears in the films Tora! Tora! Tora! and Pearl Harbor.
