Wartime History
Abandoned at Babo Airfield.

Wreckage
Remained at Babo Airfield until 1991.

An A6M3 Zero 3869 (Replica) built in Russia was assigned the identity of this Zero. It is unclear if parts of this real Zero were used in the restoration, or it was simply selected as an identity.

One of the wings (internal structure only) was discarded after the restoration, and is displayed at the Planes of Fame Museum.
