Yep.
PLANES of FAME - Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero/Reisen/Zeke


Wheels
 
Actually, there are some more flyable Zeros around. There are at least 2 in Japan, where the gentleman that owns them cannot get the insurance to fly them (Mr Harada). There is also at least 1 other in the US that is flyable, but not flown because while he can get insurance, he cannot afford it for a Zero. There is a list on the web at
The Mitsubishi Zero - Preserved and Restored Aircraft

I would love to see all the flyable ones up at one time. That would really be something.
 
I finally finished all the edits and posted the photos this morning. There are 32 galleries of photos from the show. Click the banner below to see the galleries.



Samples? Alright, here are a few.

11 Mustangs in formation at the start of the day!


The N-9MB returned to the sky for the first time since 2006:
