Man on Pearl Harbor Flight Recalls Uncle's USS Arizona Death

From the Feb. 3, 2013, Bloomberg by James M. Clash.

James M. Clash went for a ride with the Pacific Warbirds who take tourists for rides in SNJ-5 single prop planes for a flight over Pearl Harbor at the same altitude as the Japanese planes did.

His uncle, Donald Clash was a second class fireman's apprentice seaman on the USS Arizona that day and lost his life.

The Pacific Warbirds leave from a small briefing room made up to look like one from Qorld War II.  The SNJ-5 is the U.S. Navy's designation for the single engine North American Aviation T-6 Texan.  They were made to look like Japanese Zeros in the movie "Tora, Tora, Tora."

The Pearl Harbor Experience costs $1200 + tax.
