Is it me, or does that zero look as though it has dauntless wings, cause if you look at it, look at the landing gear :? http://rides.webshots.com/photo/1004708 ... nRTeYWCAkP

That's one of the "tora, tora, tora," movie Texan based Zero's. They did a real good job getting FAA TC adapting these guys. Good call seeing the difference,

Deffinitely a replica Zero! Those were used in alot of films and were made mostly from converted AT-6s. They look close at first glance, but (as the landing gear evidence) are a little off. There are only two actual Zeros in flyable condition: an A6M3 used by the Confederate Air Force and an A6M5 in possession of the Planes of Fame museum.
