Japanese businessman Masahide Ishizuka has announced a goal of operating his airworthy Mitsubishi A6M-3 Zero, 3858/N553TT, in the skies over its homeland reports Mike Shreeve.
Ishizuka is based in New Zealand, where he operates a flying jacket company, and acquired the Zero about three years ago. After being used during the filming of the movie Pearl Harbor during the year 2000, N553TT was flown to the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) Southern California Wing’s base at Camarillo, California.

Owner Masahide Ishizuka is now trying to get the fighter registered in Japan, a country where nobody has so far managed to register a Second World War “warbird”. (mike shreeve)
