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!
