    That's a beautiful plane. Is it real or a replica. It looks small enough to be a real Zero, rather than a T-6 conversion.
    What it the history of this one
    I sure would like to fly one, I'd pay big $$$ for even a half hour flight time.

    Bill,

    That is the real deal. It is owned by the Texas Flying Legends Museum.

    It was the thrill of a lifetime to be in the pattern and hear “Zero on downwind for two zero Grimes ”.
    The “Last Samurai” is the world’s last remaining airworthy A6-M2 Zero. The Zero and a few other aircraft in the Texas Flying Legends collection are here.

    24 B25s? Crikey! You guys don't do things in halves over there. Hope the event went well.

    regards,

    Some B-25s stayed longer than a week giving rides every day. As everyone had such a fantastic time, there is talk that in two years it may happen again. If so, please come on over as you are invited.
