During the Pearl Harbor event at Camarillo over the weekend, there was quite an aerial duel.

Bogie spotted, its a ZERO! Bearcat and Hellcat scrambled for intercept.

As the Hellcat closes, the Zero takes evasive action.

The Zero takes a HIT!
Image

Still trying to get away...
Image

The Hellcat closes for the kill shot.

The final pass to commemorate those lost at Pearl Harbor and following.

Nice photos, might be a better contest if the Zero were to use more than a 30 degree bank angle in evading.
