Real Zero fighter Type 52 takes off 《実機》 零戦52型の飛行

[Rikki0]

This is an original A6M5 Zero with the original Sakae engine. It's owned by Planes of Fame in Chino, California. There are two other flying Zero's in the world, both in the U.S. but they don't have the original engines.

[199popopo]

This plane was adopted by Japanese Navy (now it's JMSDF) in 1940 and that year was also the 2600th anniversary of the 1st Tennou's (Japanese Emperor) accession to the throne.

That's why this plane named ''Zero'' fighter.

[TinManSixtySix]

@199popopo Thank you. That's really cool. You Japanese do know how to blend tradition, expertise and -- why not? -- a great sense of style. My father would always tell me tales about the War and he told me about the Zero and the Japanese pilots, the honor and the bravery. He passed away last year but he would've loved to see this video and read about the origin of the aircraft's name.

[CIWS1]

I don't know why but out of all non-US aircraft involved in WW2 my favorite has always been the Zero. It was a remarkable fighter and i'm excited to see this aircraft. it's sad to think it's so rare compared to other fighters of the war now days.

[trilingual]

What a beautiful restoration! Thanks for the video : )

[TheSlugstoppa]

A beautiful restoration project. But why are the Hinamaru's blurred on the upper wings and Fuselage ?

[yuukagoronyan]

what a beautiful design!

[Jpopn]

機内カメラの映像も欲しいところ。

[ichiromatsuo]

カリフォルニアのプレーンズ・オブ・フェイムですね。ここにはか­つて飛行可能な4式戦、疾風がありましたが、日本に返還されて今­は鹿屋にあります。しかし飛べる状態だったものを飛べなくしたの­で館長が怒って「もう二度と日本には返さない」と述べたそうです­。飛べない飛行機は意味がない事をまったく理解しない日本に戻す­より、跳び続ける米博物館にあった方がよっぽど幸せだと思います­。ありがとうプレーンズ・オブ・フェイム

[seirodate]

@ichiromatsuo 主翼の桁を作り替えたりして

疾風をフライアブルにできませんか？

いろいろ欠損して修復は難しいと思いますが、、、、、汗

高度経済成長時期に里帰りした疾風は物珍しさで評判になったもの­の、

稼動状態で保存する意思が欠けていたことが

日本人として非常に恥ずかしい。

なんとか名誉を取り戻したいものです。

[enushisama]

@seirodate 疾風の主桁は切断していませんよ。それは誤報です。輸送時には正­規の分割ポイント以外は加工していません。ただしエンジンにクラ­ックがあり、別の意味でもはや修復不能です。

[seirodate]

@enushisama エンジンにクラック。。。oh my god！

エンジンを作り直すしかないですね。。。。

[1makermovie]

a fucking replica >.> again

[MrDavkoz]

This plane never ceases to amaze me. This clip highlights it's incredibility short takeoff length, while another clip I saw highlights this aircraft's extremely tight turning radius.

[shiokarashi]

props to the guys who kept this aircraft in such good condition...

but WHY THE HELL did they have to turn the Hinomaru into a bloodstain!?

[NistaNippon]

日の丸がぼやけた塗装が非常に残念だが、大戦機の保存・維持管理­には、環境もあるだろうが、やはり米国の方が長けている。

飛べるゼロ戦がある事を拙者としては、素直に悦ぶのみ！

[kyffaa]

good video

[cyphertek]

WW2 fighter prop engine sound - the best!! - better than jet, UFO, and Harley.

[orz9nee]

こんなに良い状態で保存できるのはアメリカだけ。

日本で保管したらすぐに不動の機体になるよ。

[TNT1989NK]

機体後部の塗装に違和感がありますが、2001年頃に映画「パー­ルハーバー」の撮影の際に塗り替えたと言われています。

詳細は不明ですが、事実だとすれば貴重な実機に対して酷いことで­す。

[foxhound1027]

@tarochin1000　どうせアメが持ってたやつを日本に運んできたんだろうな　ひでえことしやがる

[fire23wong]

I just love the sound of the engine

[Dproud2700]

Folk, think about this. The Type 52 Zero shown here is one of the few possibly in the world working.  It is a piece of living history. The amount shot down during the war and destroyed on the ground. I think it is nice to see one like this in wonderful working order

[FilipinoZeroFighter]

I really love the sound of the original Sakae 21 engine. . . it's so... beautiful.

[no1kiyoko]

Thank you U.S for keeping a Japanese inheritance carefully.

[thekeibiiniida]

やっぱりゼロ戦はかっこいいなあ

[jamiekenta]

thumbs up if that plane makes one of the best sounds you've ever heard in your life.

[majmambo]

NIPPON BANZAI!!!

[saberdryver]

Nice plane...but whats with the lame meatballs?

[yakovlev3a]

@saberdryver ???

wasn't the Zero a Japanese plane?

[Charaht]

@saberdryver - I think it's the video. Or some one forgot the stensil.

[ozu1504]

52型ではない。タイトルに偽りあり

[BooFooWow]

@ozu1504

A6M5は52型では無いのですか？

[rare12inchsingles]

I am so grateful that people preserve these historic aircraft for future generations to see...There is nothing like seeing a WW2 era plane in action..

[cyphertek]

The sound quality of this video is good. It sounds just like I remember it.

[emforty2]

orders were given " Not to dogfight" a zero

instead do a cowardly " hit and run "

[4thstooge]

@emforty2 Stop fighting WW2 already. Pearl Harbor was a cowardly act.

[jers59]

@emforty2 1 bullet in zero and jap wear crimminal pilot is incinerated

[rinjingan]

Spitfire-British plane, british engine

Zero-Japanese plane, japanese engine

P51 Mustang-American plane, British engine

[showanoisoroku]

The BMWs engines and Mitsubishi SAKAE engine are P&W systems.

SAKAE engine is Zero fighter. BMW engine is Fw190.

The Spitfire has taken Heinkel's design.　Its a beautiful Butterfly !

The Zero fighter have a beautiful woman line.

And

P51 Mustang is an airframe that a German American designed.

Though D type made beautifully for the first time ･･･

[darco64]

@rinjingan BF109-German plane, Spanish engine

F4U Corsair, American plane, American engine

[LuckyBolt100]

@darco64 bf-109's had no spanish engine they had the daimler benz engine

[jers59]

@rinjingan F6F Hellcat american aircraft/american engine 19 to 1 kill ratio against jap aircraft

[SpenzOT]

@rinjingan actually packard built the merlin engines under license for the P-51 mustang, making them better than the british versions as well as mass-producible. 

[MrJp990]

@rinjingan ... No it had an american engine (earlier ) and then it had an american reproduction of the merlin.....

[Akirameerkat]

does anyone know if the Zero at Mojave airport flies or if its a static display there ?

[TKEMP360]

Well the Zero was just a Agile plane. Very weak armor as for the American Wildcat it had way better armor but alittle slower. Didn't take much for somthing to take the Zero down.

[sexymonster001]

Oh! U.S.A.! Thank you for keeping Zero!!

[4thstooge]

@sexymonster001 What is your point? Zero radial engine stolen technology from other nations.

[ssgtakeo]

@4thstooge You're a fool, radial engines were made by many different countries in differing forms. When you have many devices all designed to do the same thing, they start to look the same.

[idejRetsam]

@sexymonster001 your welcome =)

ps i volunteer there. its the planes of fame air museum in chino, california

[vsokko]

Very cool airplane. NOT impressed. I go to airshows and the latter American planes are bigger and just sound a lot better.

[mmutasim2]

Who gives a shit about what you do or don't like? If you're not impressed,why do you even bother commenting negatively? Why not just go to a video about American planes? Ass.

[vsokko]

Reading about the airplane states how great it was. I think it was in the very early 40's. All it really had was long range. I dont know how they got pilots in that thing after 1943. It is just a souped up kite. Armament was very weak. Just expected more. At least I got a fellow ASS comment about it.

[mmutasim2]

So sad for you to call me an ass when your comment shows you're one. What has come to this world? If you really didn't enjoy this plane,you really didn't have to comment about it. Keep it to yourself. Go watch a video of something you LIKE and don't be a bugger.

[vsokko]

I did like the airplane. I just expected something a lot bigger and meaner. That is all I meant to say. Thanks to the camera man and poster.

[vsokko]

(Who gives a shit about what you do or don't like?)

I would think thats why there is a comment box. Dont you think so????

[SexyToshi]

Listen to that. My knee jerking and wetting my pants.

[Marty514]

Wow !!! Such an historic plane !!!

[yeungrulz]

lol then you see bombs drop

[igottafc]

so cool!
