In 1991, the Museum of Flying, in Santa Monica, California, asked Yakovlev to produce a new series of Yak-3s to be built at Orenburg, Russia. The new Yak-3s were built using the plans, tools, dies and fixtures of the original. They were powered by American Allison engines, and given the designation Yak-3UA. These aircraft are now available on the civilian market.

An live ejection from a aircraft is not a thing you see every day.

During the 1991 airshow at Czech airbase Prague-Kbely, this MiG-21U showed how to eject from an aircraft.

Despite the poor quality ( wished I had the same gear back then as I have nowadays) it shows clearly how the shute is employed and that the explosive under the seat is still working.
