Kickass Zero


That's me in the cockpit of a Japan Zero fighter, one of the few Japanese planes left flying in the world (I think). I've always thought its an extremely "kiam-pa" airplane (aka kickass), hence the facial expression..... =P

In case you don't know what a Japanese Zero is - its Japan's key fighter aircraft in World War 2. Lots of Jap pilots did their banzai thing with the plane in the war, and this plane can turn tighter than most Allied airplanes. I don't fully understand my fascination with enemy aircraft, but somehow, its always kinda cool to see the other side of things, esp of the war. ;-)
