 | One of the ways that the CAF SoCal Wing raises money to keep their Zero flying is to have the crew chief, who is Japanese-American, dress up in the uniform of the Japanese pilots of the time and pose for picture, for a donation, of course!  But his uniform is authentic in look and style.

| Yep, it's an A6M3 Model 20. There is also an A6M5 at Chino with the original Sakae engine. The CAF A6M3 is a P&W. There are 1 or two other flyable Zeros around, but don't get flown much, if at all. In total, there are less than 5 that still are flyable, and only 2 that fly on any regular basis. Here are the A6M5 and A6M3 flying together at Chino last year. Quite a site, two REAL zeros!

| The strings I believe the IJN or IJA parachute gear must be stringed like the image attached. I'm pleased to see the cool and brave samurai-look Japanese pilot beside CAF Zero though.   |
