The Zero - Photos/zero02.jpg Back | Home | Next

Jessica Drives - now here's a driver for you...  and yes she can drive the little cars around in GTA2.

The American flag is on the doro as is customary for fighter pilots, to mark their kills of enemy aircraft with little
enemy flags beneath the cockpit.

In this case, my single flag represents either one of two things...  either the only wreck the car ever had
(front end collision) when my grandfather owned and was driving it (which is how I got the car from the insurance
company).   Seems appropriate doesn't it, a Kamikazi style kill...  or....

and I like this better...

My grandfather getting shotdown over the Pacific by a real Japanese Aircraft (I haven't asked him, but more
than likely it was a Zero).  My grandfather flew a P38 Lighting on the American side during World War II, and
told me a story of how he was shot up by an enemy and flew just above sea level back to Australia on one
engine (the P38 has two).  He crash landed somewhere in the Australian desert and had to 'hoof it' many,
many miles back to his base.

American pilots I believe require five "kills" to become an "ace".  It differs from country to country.
