I was there in 1969. Also saw “Japanese” dive bombers overhead as they were also filming TORA TORA TORA at that time.
I once worked with a guy who was in the Navy, at Pearl Harbor, at the very same time you were there. He said it was very eerie to be cruising into Pearl Harbor while watching Japanese aircraft flying around.
Thats surreal.
Wow...now that had to be a creepy feeling! Complete with planes flying overhead. Being a big fan of history, I learned about the national Socialists in Germany and the horrors they perpetuated throughout their reign ending with WWII. One year when I was at Carnaval in Brasil and one of the schools, Vai-Vai chose to do a theme on Nostrodamas. They decided to include Nazi like costumes complete with the swastika and marched down the stadium. It sent a chill down my spine and that took a lot because I LOVE Carnaval. I took photos thinking “I won’t see this again in my lifetime.” Now given the actions we now know of during the obama tyranny, I think it was a premature thought. I don’t know what happened to the photos but there is video on the web if it’s still intact.
That would have been awesome to see.You lucky dog.

What a great coincidence for you! I’d have gotten chills! Love that movie. :)
