Last weekend I attended the Biggest Little Airshow on Ford Island. Ford Island is located in the middle of Pearl Harbor. It fronted Battleship row and the Arizona the morning on December 7th.
Some of the structures there today bear the scars from the attack.
There were more than 50 aircraft on display at the event.
It was obvious that there are a lot of accomplished modelers on the Islands.
They all seemed to be enjoying the morning and meeting the public who came to watch the action.
There were a lot of scale aircraft present, some on static display and some flown for the show.
This Edge put on a great demonstration of IMAC and 3-D style aerobatics.
This F-22 wowed the crowd turning and burning.
A high point for the children in attendance was the candy drop.
Don't get in their way!
After the morning show I took some time to go through the Pacific Aviation Museum.
Understandably they had a focus on the attack on Pearl Harbor and the war in the Pacific in general.
They even managed to fit an RC airplane into their display.
The event was a big success with about 1000 spectators there enjoying the show. The Birds of paradise put on quite a show and should be proud of the result.
The best place in the world to have a air show wish I could have been there
