[geeks] Glad I don't live in Texas!

[Andrew Weiss]

There are roughly 2 or 3 left in flying condition, countless others 
15-30 are non-flyable.

The CAF owns one of them.  I forget the call letters of the machine in 
question. (It is usually painted in a gull grey color scheme)  It may be 
an A6M5 but it is painted as an A6M2 Carrier fighter.
