Awesome! There's a few of those in private ownership in the US, and in flying condition.
They're actually not THAT difficult to get and restore. If you have somewhere between $300,000-500,000 lying around, you could buy one and restore it to flying condition too. I mean of course it's a lot, but compared to some luxury cars etc. out there, it's not too insane. As with a lot of ex-Soviet military tech, most of these would come from Eastern Europe where they've been written off.
