Earlier I visited the NASM in Washington DC with my son and daughter

Would that be 3 zeros at Flying Heritage?!?! Wow!

Did you hear or see anything about their Focke-Wulf Fw 189?

 

[kettbo]

I will look into the Fw189.
Such a shame they are 1.5 hours from me. Makes meaningful volunteer time a challenge but will look into this at some future time.

Yes, the dk green A6M5, the wreck A6M5, far down is an A6M3 Model 22 (regular wing with folding tips) has a 2nd seat

And I don't have any Zeros.

This must be the Zero inequality gap we keep hearing about.

Very nice to see, George. The Me 163 is 191660, formerly AM214 that used to belong to IWM and was on display at Duxford for many years, but was involved in a swap for an Airco DH.9. Nice to see the unrestored Zero.

 

[Gnomey]

Great shots!

 

[Shinpachi]

I think the wreck Zero needs no restoration as its condition is very good to understand the structure and original painting.
Thank you very much for sharing nice photos, George!

 

[kettbo]

the wrecked Zero pics were all for you Shinpachi! I may have a few others. Also, I may return there fairly soon. The display collection doubled compared to my last visit.

 

[T Bolt]

Very nice pictures. Thanks for posting

 

[Njaco]

Is that you in front of the one green Zero?

 

[vikingBerserker]

Even as a wreck the Zero is still a beautiful aircraft. Excellent pics!

NJACO, that is me in front of the ZERO, dark blue shirt. Another pic of me (with beanie) with my son in front of the Me 262 in Washington, DC
