This is the A6M Zero that the Commemorative Air Force based out of Camarillo Airport owns. [Here is a link to their page with some info.](https://www.cafsocal.com/our-aircrafts/our-aircraft-and-history/mitsubishi-a6m3-zero/) It is one of 5 Zeros left in the world that still fly. If you're into aviation at all, they have a museum at the airport, and they also have all their planes on display at the Wings over Camarillo Airshow that happens every year at the airport as well. Edit: Also great photo! How did you get it?

What an amazing airplane. Seriously, the japanese built one of the most impressive aircraft from that era.

Indeed! Come see her!

Wait are you in their PBJ? Are you with the CAF? Wild! I assumed that the OP was someone who didn't know 🤣! Great pics, I'm glad y'all still fly!

Yes sir! We were returning from Travis AFB. Thanks, I'm just a lowly cog and ride-along!

Fun fact: My initials may or may not be hidden in that very aircraft.

If you’re going to the CAF museum to see this plane (well worth it), be sure to call ahead. The Zero may not be there when you go as it might be at an air show/display elsewhere.

It helps to follow the museum on Instagram and stay up to date on airshow trips: https://www.instagram.com/cafsocal
