When Lee and I attended an airshow at our local airport, they had a few WWII trainer planes as well as a replicated Zero that was featured in Tora, Tora, Tora, the TV show Baa-Baa Blacksheep, and the film Midway. We were able to talk to the pilot of the Vultee BT-13 and of the Zero. The Zero did several fly-overs and it was a thrill. Very, very cool. The pilot even had the guns screaming out, and that sounded very, very realistic. We both felt like we were at Hickam Field in Hawaii on December 7th. Goosebumps. 
The Alger Market (our store) was one of the proud sponsors of the EAA event, and we had a great time. They had a raffle and drew to see who would win a ride in the Zero. Lee really had his hopes up, but unfortunately his name was not drawn. 
Darn!!
