probably from France. The 111 aircraft delivered to France were gratefully accepted by the Luftwaffe and immediately formed into the Goeppingen A/B 116 and the "Rosarius Circus" which trained German pilots assigned to fly captured Allied aircraft.

I'm really surprised no one has posted any shot of the famous Aleutian Zero, A6M2 #4593. These were taken in September 1944 at NAS North Island in one of the ComFAirWest hangars. The plane was used in aggressor training for westward headed air groups during that time. VF COs from those air groups, and a select of some of their senior pilots, were also allowed to take it up to give them an idea of A6M performance and maneuverability.

If memory serves, the Koga Zero was destroyed in a ground accident.
Another plane taxi'd into it cutting it up pretty bad. They [whoever they
were] decided not to repair it. How it was disposed of was not made public.

Phew... Okay B17. That was a cryptic post.

I can only be your wingman if you fly straight. When you spin into these posts with little or no information, you have exceeded my airframe's dive abilities. Keep 'em within limits buddy, and be prepared to back up your posts with facts. Sometimes sitting back and observing is the best aerial offense.
