On December 30, 2015, the Messerschmitt Bf 109G-6 “Black 8” WkNr 440738 made its first post-restauration engine runs on the former airbase of Bremgarten, Germany. The aircraft flew with JagdGeschwader 27 when it crashed on 29 May 1944. Its restauration began in 2007 in Austria.

In 2013, it was acquired by the Air Fighter Academy in Zirchow, Germany, which continued the restoration with Meier Motors. “Black 8” will be the only airworthy Bf 109G-6.
