I'm surprised to see a Hawker Hunter there.

Must have been sent by ship to the islands, I don't think it has the ferry range to fly from the mainland.
Anyone know more about it?

Nice Pictures, what is the deal with the Croman Sikorsky, is it based over there?

Yes or is based there. The USN uses a civillian contractor to pull missles and drones up of the firing rage from what I recall him saying. Really nice guys with a nice helicopter.

My Dad was stationed on Oahu (Air Force) from '68 to '72 and I remember playing on a sub conning tower, shooting the machine gun (.50?) at all the people walking by. Wonder if it is the same one?
