Ki-43 “Oscar” airborne again

On March 2 at the Tillamook Air Museum (TAM) in Oregon, Nakajima Ki-43 “Oscar” NX43JE made a successful 30min flight. Over the next three days, pilot Brent Conners put a further 15hr of test flying on to the aircraft, which is now ready for air display duties alongside three American fighters already operated by the TAM.

This is just a taster — see May's Aeroplane magazine for the full story.
