Three Zeros on display at F.H.C.
Fri Feb 21, 2014 1:10 pm
The Flying Heritage Collection has just opened their new exhibit featuring three Zeros. Their flying example, a former P.O.F example on static, and the remains of the Zero that came out of Atlanta.
Sounds like a pretty amazing display, I look forward to seeing some pictures.

Pssst, you want to see something really cool? This long lost A6M5 Zero has been rescued from the scrap pile many, many times during its long life. You can see it, starting today, as part of the FHC's new exhibit, Zero Rising. We open at 10 am!

POF used to have two, years ago - their static example wound up with Paul Allen/FHC a long while ago and had been in storage since. (This particular airframe is A6M5-52 serial no. 4400, and registered N652Z).

My brother who lives by Paine Field said he spotted a Zero flying around over there with what looked like a camera ship in front. He made a point to call and make me jealous! So I'm anxious to see the results of that as I'm certain someone here knows all about it...

It's even more fun watching the F6F and A6M playing tailchase-now, for some propane operated guns--------

FHC's Zero flew Wednesday morning and Cessna was taking aerial photos. All 3 Zeros are owned By FHC but the non-airworthy ones are in pretty bad shape. There is also a 20 mm cannon and a machine gun that was in the really bad Zero and a Sakae 12 and 2 21s on display but 1 of the 21s is installed on the Zombie Zero - it was put together for static display.
