Nice action shots!

In all the pictures I've seen of these dogfights the damn zero is always losing. (set up?)

Sure...The corsair is a tad bit higher on the food chain than the zero is but that zero should be able to give it a run for it's money. Sadly, those "dogfights" seem to be just big circles and figure eights. (the zero would have destroyed the corsair if it did these maneuvers in WW2) No hardcore maneuvering but I guess it's because they don't want anything bad to happen to the planes.

Also, one other problem! The zero would have been on fire and not smoking. Zeros light up like nothing when they meet .50 cals. hehehe.

Here's one time where the Zero was really out classed, lol.

Marauder61 , those are some good shots. I took a look at your galleries, very good. After going to the show at Gillespie, my first, I want to attend more vintage air shows.
