One of the Japanese legendary Zero fighter planes took to the skies on Wednesday for the first time since World War II.

The restored plane made a brief flight to and from a naval base in Japan. Former US Air Force pilot Skip Holm flew the aircraft.

Zero fighters were considered one of the most capable long-range fighter planes in World War II, rivaling the British Spitfire. Only a few are still in operating condition.
