YToD - the last A6M Zero w/ genuine engine

According to a blog post:

This is the ONLY WWII Japanese aircraft that is flyable today with an original Japanese WWII engine, the Mitsubishi Sakae 14-cylinder, Model 31 "Prosperity". A very, very unique and historic sound ! And it is very likely that this is the ONLY original WWII Japanese aircraft engine that any of us will ever to be able to hear in person.

Which is a little tautological, since "sakae" means "prosperity", but no matter, enjoy: Youtube://ZuoVlQOO4xc.
