FlyWire is about exploring flight and the freedom this incredible experience brings us on a personal level. Flying has always captured the imagination and excitement of living life to its fullest. Hi, I'm Scott Perdue. In a former life I flew the F-4 and F-15E, more recently I retired from a major airline. I've written for several aviation magazines over the years, was a consultant for RAND, the USAF, Navy, NASA as well as few others, wrote a military thriller- 'Pale Moon Rising' (still on Kindle). But mostly I like flying, or teaching flying. Some of the most fun I had was with Tom Gresham on a TV show called 'Wings to Adventure". We flew lots of different airplanes all over the country. Now with FlyWire I want to showcase the fun in flying, share the joy and freedom of flight and explore the world with you. Make sure you subscribe if you want to go along for the ride!

Brings back a lot of memories. Soloed on Ford Island in '72. Also was a lifeguard at the Hickam O'Club swimming pool in '69.
I've been watching you for a few years and this is the best video that you have done, in my opinion. Waiting for part 2. Thank you very much.
tora tora tora is one of my favorite movies. everything you mentioned in thus video was portrayed in the film.
There is tons of WWII stuff to see on the island, you just need to know where to look. I was there last week, too bad we didn’t hook up and I could have shown you some cool places. Hickman’s PACAF build was a pilots barracks back in the, so it is riddled with holes still today. The old Ewa field still had the old concrete hangers, old gun batteries, tons of fire control stations, ammo bunkers, ammo tunnels, etc…. Great place to hike.
Great video report Scott! Thank you.
Great job Scott
Good view of a bit of history.
Looking forward to your next video.
Thanks for posting.
We went to the Arizona and Ford island at the end of January. Awesome experience
Love the history!
Thanks, I have also visited many of these sites.
Those enlisted radar guys must have been intensely frustrated. The ten to fifteen minutes warning they offered might have made quite a difference to the defence of these bases.
The photo of the ship exploding at 11:41 is actually the destroyer USS Shaw.
Thanks.
9:05 The 5th Observation Group photo, now the 5th Bomb Wing in Minot AFB, ND, still flyin' the Buff. The wing patch is "Kaia O La Lewa", or Guardians of the Upper Realm in Hawaiian.
Last year my wife and I stayed at the Navy Lodge on Ford Island. The trail around the island takes your past what I think was the former sea plane base. You can still see some strafing marks on the concrete from the attack on Dec 7th.
My dad may have stayed there 1944/45 when it was a BOQ.
Scott, thanks for the cool vid, although I have always hoped to see the island in person. I've been fascinated by the history of the Attack all my life. I think I've read every book or article and watched every documentary.
The movie "Tora Tora Tora" came out when i was about ten years old. I found out years later that George Welch from my hometown, that his dad had worked at the same DuPont site my where my dad later worked. A few years ago I realized that I probably passed his childhood home often. Tragically George Welch was killed while working for North American as a test pilot.
I have heard Hale'iwa pronounced a couple ways but always thought holly heeva was close to correct.
I love those shorts
Wife says ditch the white socks with black shoes.
Great report Scott. I have a high school friend who lives on Oahu, former Navy, now retired civilian military contractor. We have visited a number of times and I can personally attest to the damage to the barracks at Hickam AFB. With a military clearance we were able to drive through the area and see first hand the bullet holes in the buildings. I can't comment on Wheeler as we didn't see that area. We were also able to drive up through the Opana pass and saw the actual radar shed where the two soldiers saw the first wave of attack. It looked like an outhouse! It was abaout 2-3 ft square and maybe 6-7 ft tall.
Outstanding video. Thanks so much for doing it. Will be looking forward to Part II.
Mighty Mo, USS Arizona, was parked at Bremerton Washington for many decades and I was able to visit it at least twice. It is quite an experience to stand on the surrender deck. I also have flown into Hickam for fuel many times and operated out of there as well on a special mission airplane.
Going to Hawaii in October. Can’t wait to see some of these places for myself. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice video, my dad was there, he saidhe felt like the end of the word where he's standing, ,and the back gunners on the planes were waving at them as they first flew over as if he did want to fire at civilians being they were not armed,they never shot at him on open ground
Scott, Bravo Zulu. Cheers, Mate.
Thank you!
Wonderful Scott!! More content like this please
My Mom came to visit and we just got back from taking her Go Navy🇺🇸
Great Video but the Shorts are disturbing.
Best shorts ever!
Gunny! Thanks for sharing. My squadron, the 47th FS, was based at Hickam during the attack. Taylor and Welch were able to get airborne out of Haleava and shoot down several Japanese aircraft! The 47th returned to Hickam in 2012 during RIMPAC exercise. We found that remote airfield and was humbled to walk upon the runway. God bless and fly safe!
That is really cool! What a connection to history!
Wow, you were there during the attack. What a good story you must have. I have known 2 guys that were there during the attack. One was on a sub tender and the other was on the USS Oklahoma and they have been gone many years.
How old are you? you’re commenting here on UA-cam? I dunno…
Guys, I may be wrong but it reads like "skid" served more recently in the USAF 47th Fighter Squadron which flies A-10s at Davis Monthan ( formerly at Barksdale AFB ) And that he had the opportunity to walk those hallowed grounds when the 47th was sent in 2012.
I have a buddy who was in the 47th at Barksdale.
@@RichNotWealthygood point. The way he wrote it though, was VERY confusing 🫤
😎
Do you know where the surrender documents are stored or on display, that ended WWII?
Great story and commentary reporting.

As soon as them dang ‘swabbies’ discovered Scott was Air Force!
Entry Declined!
Actually the Navy was nicer to me than the USAF!
Guess you didn't fly your Bonanza to Hawai'i!! Did you?
No, I didn't;)
I wish the :Pearl Harbor aviation museum had a PBY on display
Great report Scott, enjoyed it...the lack of preparation for Russia and China is staggering......where we have politicians who want to cut off Ukraine and don't want to support Israeli fighting the Barbarians at their gate before they come here.....not much has changed since "it's just a bunch of B-17 returning".......
Scott, fellow UA-camr, Ward Carroll, a Commander in USN may have been able or not!
Let’s not forget to thank treasonous FDR for this calamity.
