Knowledgeable docents walk sightseers through Hangar 37, which contains a fleet of authentic fighter planes, and Hangar 79, which still bears scars from the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Tour-goers then fix their eyes on a 1940s-style carrier-aircraft-service unit before strapping into a combat flight simulator to defend the skies above Guadalcanal from virtual intruders.

Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor

The servicemen of Pearl Harbor's naval and air base were taking some much-needed R and R between early morning repairs inside Hangar 37 when suddenly they heard a buzzing overhead. Their ears weren't foreign to the rapidly approaching sound with the humming of their own planes and battleships periodically filling the air, but this instance proved to be drastically different. Thunderous explosions soon overtook Pearl Harbor and the U.S.S. Arizona struggled to stay afloat as the Imperial Japanese Navy delivered a surprise military strike, which resulted in one of the most devastating attacks on American soil. With a mission to preserve the history of this tragic event, Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor opened that very same hangar to the public, hundreds of feet from where ships burned and men courageously fought more than 70 years ago.

Hangar 37's 42,000-square-foot space currently houses many of the museum's World War II artifacts, which include B-25B bombers, naval planes, and Korean War MiGs. Also open to the public, Hangar 79 displays the actual bullet holes that pierced its windows during the attack, while an authentic WWII maintenance shop contains an exhibit that explains how WWII planes ran on Lucky Strike cigarette materials. Visitors can experience the museum's ever-evolving collection of exhibits––which has included segments dedicated to Amelia Earhart and the Flying Tigers––through guided tours in both hangars and submerse themselves in the virtual world of the museum's combat flight simulator.

The Groupon Guide to: Your Fashion IQ

How much do you know about fashion? Find out with this scientific quiz:

1. What's the most important fashion accessory?
A. An eye-catching necklace
B. A dazzling scarf
C. A funky fedora that screams "fashion sense, adventure, and fashion sense"

2. Which fashion basic should you never leave home without?
A. Pants
B. Shoes
C. A fedora
D. All of the above, but intentionally minus the pants and shoes so your fedora stands out even more

3. How many fedoras are you wearing right now?
A. Enough
B. There's no such thing as enough fedoras

ANSWERS: The answer to this quiz, like the answer to all questions, is fedora. Unless the question is a history question, in which case the answer is probably the Teapot Dome scandal.

Do you have enough fedoras?
