A variety of rare and legendary military aircraft will be making their way to EAA AirVenture for next week’s show, poised and ready to delight warbird fanatics and history buffs alike.
Among them is a 560 A6M3 Model 22 Zero, one of just three airworthy Japanese Zeros left in the world. The airplane was recovered from Buna, New Guinea, in 1991 and underwent restoration first in Russia and later in the United States. It will be flown to the show by the Commemorative Air Force Southern California Wing, which is also bringing the P-51 Mustang Man-O-War.
