This is is the flashiest (and newest) of the Pearl Harbor exhibits, with its propaganda-esque written histories and signs. There are two hangars: Hangar 37 includes planes involved in the 1942 attack, but the best is Hangar 79, the doors still riddled with bullet holes from the Pearl Harbor strafing. It houses military aircraft, old and new; you can even climb into the cockpit of some of them. On the far end is the Restoration Shop, where you can watch vintage aircraft actively being restored. For an additional $10, sit in a Combat Flight Simulator, like an immersive video game in which you fly a plane and shoot down the enemy.
