Looks exactly like Ike's!

[Rikki0]

Iowa6 is quite correct. There are indeed two original A6M Zero fighters still flying. One with the original Sakai engine.

@Rikki0 the other with a pratt and whitney, owner has original motor but i dnt believe its running, that 1 is at the Fargo ND air mueseum

I miss you Betty Jane. Not to long ago you visited my home town airport.

[FUCHLIM]

do the six machine guns still work?

[paullubliner]

@FUCHLIM It's a P51C, that means 4 not 6 M2 guns. Of course they function... unlike like your powers of reasoning.

[gaktkr]

are there any Mitsubishi A6M Zeros left?

[iowa61]

Yes. Several and a couple are flying. One with the original engine flies out of Chino, California i believe. I think it's at Planes of Fame... Google it.

[N137LA]

I believe 2 are still flying.

[cjsporl]

@gaktkr just 1 i think

[chrisvonderlinn]

@gaktkr nope. just replicas



[chrisvonderlinn]

@gaktkr nope. just replicas

they have ones that are real but theyre only in museums and they arent in flyable condition

[ShaggyParent12]

@chrisvonderlinn there is like 2.

[CplNavrasMEC]

sucks theres only so many vintage aircraft left in the world. I always wanted a ME-109. They should make a civilian verson.

[paullubliner]

@CplNavrasMEC It was called the (Bauform) bf 108. Tandem side by side 2 place.
