Tora! Tora! Tora! Zero Replica 2

The Wings Over Houston air show, put on by the Commemorative Air Force, always includes a Tora! Tora! Tora! section, which features several replicas of the Japanese airplanes that attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941. This one, meant to look like a Mitsubishi A6M fighter, has a two-bladed prop, strongly suggesting that it is a modified North American AT-6 trainer. Many of the planes used in the 1970 movie "Tora! Tora! Tora!" were modified similarly to this one, and this one may well have performed in the movie.
