The USS Hornet Museum is pleased to offer a selection of real virtual naval aviation missions as they were flown by pilots off the decks of aircraft carriers ranging from the Korean War through the Vietnam War. These real life missions will be narrated by the pilots who completed them and be accompanied by personal photos and never before seen historical footage. Participants will also have an opportunity to interact with the pilots directly in a Q & A session following the presentation.

A new mission will be added each month featuring our docent pilots!
