A few weeks ago, Manu and I had our first big adventure together, just the two of us. Saturday, September 24th was Smithsonian Magazine's National Museum Day, so many museums offered free admission. So Manu and I packed up and headed out to Ford Island in Pearl Harbor to see the Pacific Aviation Museum.
When we finally got in to the museum (after a shuttle ride, a diaper change, a feeding, and another diaper change) we saw some great planes. Dad, I thought of you a lot while I examined the different planes and Manu examined the inside of his eyelids. So, here's some of the cool stuff we saw:
I didn't get many pictures of the really old planes in the first building because the light was bad. This one is a F-4F3 Wildcat from the 1940s.
North American F-86E Sabre from 1947.
This is an ultralight plane. It was tiny!
Curtiss P-40E Kittyhawk I (1942)
McDonnell Douglas F-15A Eagle (1972)
Grumman F-14D Tomcat (1970)
Convair F-102A Delta Dagger (1953)
SH-60-B Seahawk

Neat place! I am impressed that you remembered all the names of the planes!
Don't be too impressed. I took pictures of the placards so that I'd be able to label them later.
