The Local A6M Zero Flew for the First Time Yesterday!

[eb in oregon]

I've seen the Hurricane at Hendon and a few other places. I'm reminded of a time when I worked for the TSA at PDX around 2003 and an older gentleman came through wearing a ball cap that suggested he was a WWII fighter pilot. I asked him was he a WWII pilot. He assured me he was. I asked him what he flew and he replied "a bunch." I asked him what his favorite fighter plane was. He said "The Hurricane as jerry could shoot it full of holes and unless hitting something really important it would bring you home."

Good observation in my mind.
