If I'm not mistaken I believe the Zero is going here:

http://alaskaairmuseum.org/

If it is true there are a few flyable aircraft in the collection but I don't believe they fly any of their aircraft.

It was announced at the Planes of Fame airshow that the Zero was headed to a museum in Alaska.

Correct. A new, flying museum, who have leased the aircraft from its owner.

Well my thoughts on this are: Since 3 examples have already been restored in Russia. (The last two being almost complete new-builds, as well as the Bayld example, why couldn't we see another new-build example(s) from one of these two workshops? Or is it just a matter of someone writing the check

Like the Sakae-engined one being done at Paine Field?



The Sakae powered A6M3-32 being finished at Legend Flyers at Paine Field is a flyer, not sure if Evergreen will fly her much, but she is definitely being built to fly!

Did they ever even run the engine on their 'airworthy' Bf109G?

That part was either left out or I simply did not hear it.

Not sure about the 109, but at this time, the Zero will fly.
