SURE.
IT WAS LIEUTENANT COMMANDER WHO
PASSED BY ADMIRAL NIMITZ WHO
FORMED THIS NAVAL FLIGHT
DEMONSTRATION TEAM.
IT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE
WITH THE GENERAL PUBLIC THE
IMPORTANCE OF AVIATION AND
IMPRESSIVE CAREER OF THE NAVY
FIGHTERS DURING WORLD WAR II.
BORIS HIMSELF WAS AN AVIATOR AND
AMERICAN FIGHTER ACE WHO DID
SOME OF HIS TRAINING IN MAUI AT
PUANENE FIELD.
ABOUT 20,000 PILOTS WENT THROUGH
THEIR TRAINING AT PUANENE FIELD.
A FEW YEARS BACK, THAT WALL,
THERE WAS A WALL IN THE FAMILY
HOME THAT PILOTS WENT THROUGH
THERE FOR THEIR RECREATION AND
REST.
THAT WALL WITH NEARLY 20,000
SIGNATURES WAS MOVED TO THE
MUSEUM.
WE ARE TRYING TO RECONSTITUTE
THAT EXHIBIT.
ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE WORKING
ON.
WE WILL HAVE A VISUAL OF THAT
WALL.
TIES BACK.
BORIS HE WANT WITH ON TO BECOME
FOUNDER OF NAVY FLIGHT
DEMONSTRATION TEAM, WHICH BECAME
THE BLUE ANGELS.

ANGELS AIRCRAFT ON DISPLAY FOR
THE PUBLIC TO VIEW.
