A truly beautiful and very deadly design....it took a terrible toll of allied aircraft and ruled the skies when it was a very early time of war.....thank you for keeping it where it belongs....in the air!!!
@@Jleed989 I agree but you left out other planes. Once the US captured and test flew a Zero, then all bets were off. The Zero had a problem in a diving right turn that the Allies exploited.
Great video 👍. I've seen this aircraft in several programs over years. It's such a beautiful and elegant aircraft. Im sure it must be a joy to fly. It's obviously a very rare treasure.
I have seen this aircraft fly many times. The current restoration is remarkable indeed. The really amazing thing to me is the size of the aircraft. In comparison to allied fighters of the day it is tiny. Anyone who has the opportunity should visit the Planes of Fame Air Museum should go. It is a wonderful collection. The living history days once a month feature a different aircraft each time. They feature special guests including former pilots of these great planes and lots of discussion on the aircraft featured for the day. It all ends with the start up and flight of the day's featured aircraft. I believe the annual airshows are set to resume in May 2024. A must see event that has been on hold since the pandemic. I'll be there for sure.
Excellent video. I thought there is another original Zero that was restored, and then sold to a rich Japanese and moved back over there. I find it curious for the plane in this video that the FAA registry lists the engine as unknown.
It was arguably the best Naval Aviation fighter aircraft in the world at the time of it's deployment by the IJN through to 1943 and the US Navy employing Corsairs and Hellcats but even in those engagements pilots and tactics were likely the deciding factor over the aircraft. Later in the war the A6M still really only had the disadvantages of lower speed and durability to take damage compared to its US counterparts, but losing the speed advantage really meant they no longer controlled the engagement. The faster aircraft always has the option to fight or withdraw while the slower aircraft is always stuck in the fight until the enemy breaks off.
Thank you for your comment, Zero expert said mainly they used ethanol at war zone, but this alcohol is for only antifreeze the water, therefore ether methanol and ethanol used.
Colour representation on my phone must be way off as Hinomarus look too red , but amazing to see this aircraft complete, as with german aircraft the allies vandalised history in an effort to eradicate the symbolism
My father brought back parts of Japanese aircraft from the New Guinea area at the end of WW2. I W onder who could identify these parts and from what aircraft. Anyone?
suicide missions meant enough fuel for one way....oh and i received my own ...actually is a gift for a japanese military enthusiasts an AGM5 ZERO...Mind you its.....RC
The Japanese had thousands of planes they scrapped themselves. In the immediate aftermath of WWII, Japan was very poor and they scrapped tons of old equipment including almost all their planes to sell for cash. They do have zeros on display though in Japan.
Every time I see a video of a real Zero it reminds me how ugly the T-6 replicas are. And don't get me started on Spanish Buchóns doing a 109 impression on movies.
Original Sakae engine ?- very very impressive..incredible lightweight structure too....soundtrack? repetitive and bloody annoying......until engine run up and taxied 2nd time around. A truly impressive and unique aeroplane* restoration ( *note the correct spelling)

When it was going against wildcats and Buffaloes

Thank you for your nice comment, yes, it's one of my favor aircraft.
A living historic aviation treasure! Awesome! 🇯🇵
I photographed this Zero at the Honda Airport in 1978 when I was a college student.
what a fantastic piece of history...THANK YOU
The one most cleanest and graceful of the WWII aircraft, along with the Spitfire.
So true🙏🙏
f the spitfire
Beautiful restoration!

Thank you for your nice comments, you are absolutely right, many thanks for this Air Museum.
Not smaller than the Curtiss P-36 (Hawk 75) or the Brewster Buffalo.
So beautiful!
This has to be the most perfect resto video I have ever had the pleasure of watching. Ty for this. :)
Amazing and beautiful..
Still very beautiful...even in the year 2023 standard !
Fabuleux ! C'est extraordinaire d'avoir fait voler à nouveau cette légende
What a nimble beautiful machine! A shame there are not more flyable examples left with original Sakae engines.
Great video great piece of history and congratulations to the hard workers who restored this wonderful zero
Beautiful plane..
Ive seen it fly several times at Chino. I sure wish they would have their yearly POF air shows at Chino again.
PERFEITA RESTAURAÇÃO DESSES AVIÕES 👍👍 🇧🇷
What a Gem! ....
Very cool!! Nice😊
One hot plane
A pure beauty

Ah the F6F's natural prey
この機体が１９７８年に来日したとき､本田飛行場と木更津に、１９９５年にＰ５１と一緒に来た時は龍ケ崎飛行場に見に行ったわ

They had a rectangular box with manufacturing information painted on rear fuselage section.
In Japanese alphabet of course.
Cool colour of the wheel wells, Fuji green? And Nakajima=Subaru!
正しくは、青竹色ですね。
At that time, the color of the interior of the Japanese Navy aircraft was blue bamboo.
@@yujiogi Thanks!
@@yujiogi Aotaki is the blue color name
ao take is blue bamboo.
I believe that was Planes of Fame Museum, not Plane of Farme.
😉Still, it's great to see a completely restored original!
What would it’s valuation be in 2023 ?
Are you talking abou the Plane of Fame Air Museum instead of the PLane of Farme Air Museum?? Nice video, but needs a little editing!!
Wow
0:20 it’s not nakajima that made the zero they made the a6m2 n but Mitsubishi made most of the models
💛🙏
Planes of Farme?
Wish there was a German stuka out there somewhere to restore 😊
The Museum that currently has this aircraft has a Stuka in process of assembly
@@bobgasm1471 Wrong Museum...Stuka is at the Flying Heritage and Combat Armor Museum in Everett, Washington.
@johnparkman5980 still on hold. Believe the complete museum is going to be moved to owners home state.
😊
零戦の映画、永遠のゼロは是非観て欲しい映画です。
Kan ik via mail in contact komen met de man die de Zero heeft gerestaureerd.
👍👍👍
so how does it feel to fly?
it's the best time and best video. Thank you for your mention.
This Zero is owned by Planes of Fame.
The subtitled commentary refers to the power rating using ethanol and water - surely should be methanol, not ethanol.
Thank you for your comment, Zero expert said mainly they used ethanol at war zone, but this alcohol is for only antifreeze the water, therefore ether methanol and ethanol used.
マジヤバかっちょイイ 日の丸はこの機体の様に白枠無しの方がよりリアルでええなあ！
Colour representation on my phone must be way off as Hinomarus look too red , but amazing to see this aircraft complete, as with german aircraft the allies vandalised history in an effort to eradicate the symbolism
this is 100% scale ? I saw a nightmare video of one at 80% scale !
Please don't crash it.
52型ですか
U need to put the guns and a ornace back on the plane even if they are not working for show
The 20mm cannons are right there, sticking out of the wings' leading edge.

What the Japanese wouldn’t give to get this back in their land.
The Japanese had thousands of planes they scrapped themselves. In the immediate aftermath of WWII, Japan was very poor and they scrapped tons of old equipment including almost all their planes to sell for cash. They do have zeros on display though in Japan.
Every time I see a video of a real Zero it reminds me how ugly the T-6 replicas are. And don't get me started on Spanish Buchóns doing a 109 impression on movies.
I think they should park it permanently to keep one of those fools from crashing it.
Fly that beautiful airplane! Put it in it’s element.
Agreed
It's clear why it was so easy to shoot down. One second, completely intact; the next, a flaming sarcophagus.
Well you just won the award for the dumbest comment for 2023
全ての設計要求を満たせば機体は大型化し大馬力エンジンを搭載しなければならない。当時の日本の技術力では限界があり防御を犠牲にするしか無かったので決して名戦闘機ではない。
No IT'S NOT a great video. No take off. No landing. No look at the restored cockpit before flight.
It's literally a WWII era zero fighter with the same engine which powered the type, 80 years ago. Novelty and rarity alone makes it great video.

This is not the only flying Zero - there is one in Kansas used as a crop duster and for shooting down wayward F15's/
This is the only one with a Sakae engine. All the others have American engines.
