Beautiful model of Kaga in museum

[Ketza]

Oklahoma memorial

[Ketza]

Big Mo entrance. Unlike most of her class museums there was pretty good access to the ship.

[Ketza]

The view you may have had from the deck of the West Virginia. The whole place seemed smaller to me then I thought it would.

[Ketza]

Looking forward along battleship row from the bridge area.

[Ketza]

There is a Ravens fan in charge of the Bridge!

[Ketza]

Hey who has not dreamed of this!

[Ketza]

This tree is located on Ford island across from the Arizona memorial in an area of Military housing.

P-40 inside the museum

Old Ford Island concrete airfield. It was explained to us the reason it was so large was a fear of Battleships shutting down the airfield.

[Ketza]

Hickam field entrance - My friend from HS is a full bird stationed there. Had a great thanksgiving dinner in his house that dated back to before the attack.

[Ketza]

Typical beach near the the rocky part of the island. This is a view of sandy beach from the blowhole. Any landing here would have been easily bottled up by the rocky terrain and mountains.

[Ketza]

Bellows field beach near where the first Japanese prisoner of war was taken. I highly recommend if you are retired military or active duty checking this base out for vacation. The bungalows are right on the beach and run 95 bucks a night. They sleep 4.

[Ketza]

Here is a view looking in the other direction. You can compare the mountains in the background to the famous picture of the midget sub sitting on the beach.

[Ketza]

This mountain was full of pillboxes and concrete observation posts. This is looking towards Bellows field in the far distance.

[Ketza]

Another view from the same mountain towards another potential landing beach in a valley near the Volcano. This area was well covered by observation posts and pillboxes.

[Ketza]

Driving up to Kaneohe Bay Marine Base from the Honululu area. This is where we stayed the 3 weeks we were on the island. This is a good view of the old seaplane ramp and the bay. The hangers date back to the attack.
