BRIGETTE: TAKE TO THE SKIES IN
PEARL HARBOR AVIATION MUSEUM'S
360 DEGREE FLIGHT SIMULATOR.
LAUREN: SOMETHING TELLS ME
KAMAKA PILI WILL BE A GOOD
PILOT.
LET'S CHECK IN WITH HIM LIVE
FROM THE MUSEUM.
KAMAKA: TO BE HONEST, I AM A
GREAT PILOT AND THIS PROVED IT.
WE ARE IN THE WORLD'S LARGEST
GAME.
PRETTY MUCH A FLIGHT SIMULATOR
AT THE PEARL HARBOR AVIATION
MUSEUM, A NEW INSTALLATION THAT
WILL BE HERE FOR ALL TO ENJOY
FOR YEARS TO COME.
TO LEARN MORE, WE ARE HERE WITH
ERIC, ONE OF THE MUSEUM
EDUCATORS.
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SIT
HERE, BUT WHAT IS SO UNIQUE
ABOUT THIS FLIGHT SIMULATOR?
THIS IS OUR FIGHTER
ACE 360
FLIGHT SIMULATOR AND IT IS THE
FIRST OF ITS KIND IN HAWAII.
IT IS FULLY ARTICULATING 360
DEGREES WITH CONTROL AND
CLIMATIC DIVE ACTION AND IT IS
JUST ONE OF THE BEST EXPERIENCES
YOU CAN HAVE.
KAMAKA: ESPECIALLY FOR
YOU,
TEACHING THIS ALL DAY LONG FOR
EVERYBODY.
FOR THOSE
INTERESTED., HOW
CAN THOSE GET THEIR EXPERIENCE
SITTING AT THIS THEY HAVE TO
COME TO THE PEARL HARBOR
AVIATION MUSEUM.
WE ARE OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.
THERE ARE ONLY 150 TICKETS A
DAY
AND THEY ARE AVAILABLE ALL DAY
LONG.
KAMAKA: I HEAR
THIS HAS BEEN
SUPER POPULAR, PARTICULARLY FOR
SIBLINGS AND FATHERS AND SONS.
WHAT TO YOU IS THE COOLEST THING
ABOUT THIS?
THE COOLEST THING ABOUT IT IS
SEEING THE FAMILY INTERACTIONS
WITH PEOPLE.
FATHERS AND SONS, BROTHERS AND
SISTERS, EVERYBODY JUST
INTERACTING, WORKING AS 18 TO DO
WHAT IT NEEDS TO DO TO HAVE
A
FUN TIME AND EVEN PEOPLE THAT
DON'T KNOW EACH OTHER THAT GET
INTO IT, THEY COME OUT SEEMING
LIKE THEY ARE BEST FRIENDS.
IT IS GREAT.
KAMAKA: WE DID A PRACTICE RUN
AND YOU ARE IN HERE, THERE IS A
BIG TV SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU,
WE ALSO HAVE THESE JOYSTICKS.
WHAT ARE THESE ALLOWING US TO
DO?
LEFT HAND IS YOUR
THROTTLE,
YOUR SPEED CONTROL.
IF YOU PUSH IT FORWARD, YOU GO
FASTER.
THE ONE ON THE RIGHT CONTROLS
THE DIRECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT SO
IF YOU PUSH IT LEFT, IT WILL
ROLL YOU LEFT.
IF YOU ROLL TO THE RIGHT, IT
WILL ROLL RIGHT.
PUSHING FORWARD WILL MAKE YOU GO
DOWN.
IF YOU WANT TO DO A FULL ROLL ON
IT, IT WILL GO 360 DEGREES ALL
THE WAY AROUND.
TO DO A LOOP, YOU GO ALL THE WAY
BACK AND ALL THE WAY OVER THE
TOP.
KAMAKA: SO COOL.
I ALWAYS PLAYED GAMES ON THE
PHONE BUT TO BE A PILOT, I AM SO
EXCITED.
KAMAKA: A SNEAK PEEK OF THE
NEWEST INSTALLMENT AT THE PEARL
HARBOR AVIATION MUSEUM.
GO TO PEARLH
ARBORAVIATIONMUSEUM.ORG.
I HAVE TO SAY ONCE THEY CLOSE
THIS THING, IT IS KIND OF
FREAKY.
WE ALSO HAVE ENEMIES AT HERE
THAT WE GET TO SHOOT.
YOU ARE ACTUALLY A FLIGHT THING
PILOT.
I WILL TRY MY BEST.
THERE ARE ANTI-YOU
CRAFT --
ANTI-, YOU CAN SHOOT THEM DOWN.
YOU CAN JUST ROLL, DO MOVES.
WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO.
KAMAKA: LET'S GET GOING ON THIS.
THIS REALLY IS LIKE A BIG ROLLER
COASTER.
THERE WE GO.
THERE GOES A ROLL.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS
GOING ON OUTSIDE.
YOU HAVE NO SENSE OF SPACE OR
WHERE YOU ARE FACING DIRECTION.
YES!
BRIGETTE: IT KIND OF LOOK LIKE
HE WAS GOING TO HURL A LITTLE
BIT.
YOU'VE DONE IT.
LAUREN: MY DAD
TOOK ME MANY
YEARS AGO BUT IT WAS REALLY FUN.
IT IS LIKE A GIANT VIDEOGAME.
I WILL SAY, THE HOLMES SHE
ENROLLS BUT WHEN YOU ARE IN IT,
BECAUSE YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE
SCREEN AS IF YOU ARE DOING WHAT
