The museum preserves the history of the co-located Naval Air Station Barbers Point.[3] Its exhibits include former U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, and U.S. Marine Corps aircraft including the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II, Douglas A-4 Skyhawk, Lockheed P-3C Orion, and Sikorsky UH-3H Sea King, among others.[4][5]

Established in 1999, the museum was forced to close in June 2020 after longstanding difficulties with the State of Hawaii.[2][5]
