The Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor will host “Discover Your Future in Aviation” March 29 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
This is the fifth year for the special aviation day, which will feature hands-on workshops, a career fair, flight lab, and interactive science exhibits. Guests can venture into the open cockpits of some of history’s greatest aircraft and learn to fly on the museum’s flight lab simulators.
Participants can enter to win prizes and take photos with historical re-enactors such as Amelia Earhart, Rosie the Riveter, a Zero pilot, and more. Girl and Boy Scouts can fulfill objectives for badge programs, also.
In celebration of Women’s History Month and the contribution of women in aviation, the museum will honor Captain Sharyn Emminger Dey, the first female pilot to fly for Hawaiian Airlines who captained the highly publicized flight of the first all-women flight crew of a United States scheduled air carrier. A special celebration of Captain Emminger Dey’s career will take place at the event.
Discover Your Future in Aviation is free with regular museum admission and free to museum members.

This is outstanding. At the end of the day, its nice to hear of people taking action to foster the kids and the potential of aviation. They are going to be the generation that changes aviation when I am older! Al Waterloo simpleflight.net
I think it’s great when organizations do such programs to get youth invovled with aviation. Having actors play historicial aviation figures is an awesome idea! Keep up the great work!~TC Freeman, WingsOfun.com
