Pacific Aviation Museum-Pearl Harbor this weekend is offering its second “Biggest Little Airshow on Ford Island.”

Visitors to the museum will be greeted by an F-14 Tomcat fighter on the tarmac and an SNJ-T 6 Texan trainer in front of Ford Island’s iconic red-and-white control tower.
The Birds of Paradise will pilot their massive remote controlled 1 to 5 scale planes for dogfights, candy “bombing” and aerobatics, the museum said. The airshow will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. There will be more than 150 remote control aircraft in the air and on static display
The airshow is free with paid museum admission.
Due to the popularity of the initial event in March, the August show has been expanded, with 150 planes and helicopters, lots of dogfights and warbird re-enactments, the museum said.
There will be tours of the restoration hangar that still bears the bullet holes of the Dec. 7, 1941, attack. Inside, visitors will see helicopters, fighter planes, and a 1941 machine shop busy restoring the museum's aircraft.
The flight line opens at 10 a.m. with a traditional military color guard and all aircraft on display. The aerial demonstrations are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
