Why would any US pilots choose to fly in the IJN planes? I see one A6M2 replica that bears marking of Akagi, but the diagonal blue line is Tainan AG, which took part in the Clark Field raid on the same day, but not at PH operation.
This video is kind of weird for me to watch. On the one hand (as a WW2 history buff) it's just off the "Wow!" meter! On the other hand, it's the visual viewpoint of the bad guys........ My grand-dad was on the AD-3 Dobbin, parked in the middle of Pearl Harbor, on Dec. 7, 1941. Though these aren't actual Zeros, it's still kind of a mind game.....if you know what I mean. Otherwise, a very nice vid! I wish I were there in person! (granddad would be rolling in his Arlington grave - lol!)

@st82nd Correct! The aircraft are T-6 Texans that were modified to look like Zeros.
