[MRCA] Air Force Museum

[Michael Tauson]

A large percentage of the visitors to the USS Arizona Memorial and I believe
the museum at Ford Island are Japanese as well.  The feeling I got was that
it’s an opportunity to see things that are glossed over in their own history
books.  There hasn’t been any celebration that I’ve seen but rather dawning
belief & understanding mixed with a degree of shame.  

 

Best regards,

The Sunday after the Hamvention I always try to get over the Air Force
Museum and take a fast walk thru. Did notice that this year there has been a
lot of changes in the displays and set up. In the Vietnam section there is a
new exhibit below the B-52 on what was involved in your typical arc light
sortie and a section on operation linebacker, they also moved around a lot
of the stuff in the Korea aria including the radio jeep but its still on
display. They added a new section on spy satellites including a complete
Agena/Corona payload along with a lot I did not notice. Couple questions
about our national museums, noticed about half of the visitors there are
foreign, saw this also at the Smithsonian too. Where are all the Americans,
also why do all the Japanese want to have there picture taken by the
Hiroshima or Nagasaki bomb? Always lots of Japanese around those exhibits,
never saw one by the Bataan death march exhibit thou. Have to give them
credit at the AF museum for having a large exhibit dedicate to the death
march, almost as large as the Boxcar and nuclear bombing program of the
Second World War. But that’s enough of my narrow minded Pro American
spouting for now.
