The Pacific Northwest Naval Air Museum (formerly known as the PBY Naval Air Museum) is a great way to see many of the artifacts and memorabilia related to Whidbey Island’s Military History. The museum even has a restored PBY Catalina on display across Pioneer Way from the museum. The plane was the first to call Whidbey Island home when the original sea plane base was built at the eastern end of Oak Harbor. Inside the museum you can get inside an actual gun turret from a PBY and feel what that is like. You can fly simulators and experience what it’s like to wear military night goggles in the museum’s specially-built room!
