Hey, Yonkers is a suburb of New Yourk isn't it?

Yes, located in the Borough (county) called the Bronx on the main land just north of Manhattan Island (New York, New York proper) on the west side of the county.

One flying with an American engine in it Chino Calfornia.

Sooo, they got that thing flying, huh!

Chino Air Museum. Back when I was still fooling with the stuff, talking about it, sent a message to them, telling my story. Pretty much called me a liar! Like hell, and I'm sticking to it.
Back in my trucking days, 70s-80s, in the area, had some free time. So, decided to drop in for a look. Paid the girl up front, for a walk through, while she said her dad was there, to answer any ?s I had. No, didn't have any. In the museum, looking around, many 'amazing airplanes!!', many one onlys, noticed an older gent. He was standing near an original Zero, looking through a manual, and talking with an older Jap gent.
Story I got, from one of the museum workers, was the gent ran the museum, the Jap gent was helping him translate the manual, since it was in Japanese! Cool.
Walking back out, through the front desk, the girl was standing there...crying. Wanting to be sure nothing was wrong, I asked her if she was okay. She told me, the gent was her dad, an ex-P-38 driver during the war. The Jap gent, was an ex-Zero fighter pilot.
Said she got to thinking, the Jap 'could' have shot down her dad during the war, and it bothered her. Understand.
Then I went on down the road. Never forgot that...

By chance, was Harrison Ford the pilot?

Wonder how they got there !!!

The Planes of Fame in Chino has the only Zero flying with it's original engine. The Confederate Air Force has one flying with a Pratt & Whitney, and there may be one or two more airworthy.

Hence the reason they were called Junkers.

Yep, those Jumo spoolers only had a projected service life of ten hours. All the early turbines had short service lives until titanium started being used for critical internal parts.
