August 20-21, 2011- Wings Over Camarillo
A6M3 Zero

There were two Zeros at the show this year. One, that is based with the CAF SoCal Wing and another previously unknown Zero that is on it's way to an air museum in Alaska. According to the folks at the CAF, the second Zero is the sister ship of the CAF Zero. They were both recovered from Babo Island Airfield in the 1980s, shipped to Russia for restoration and have made their way to the US. Both of these aircraft have the Pratt and Whitney 1830 engine, which was the basis for the Sakae engine. The Zero with the white border around the red circle and the tail code X-133 is the CAF Zero.
