While they are being used in this military-contract role, they are not common in the hands of private individuals in North America. That big engine is thirsty, and it is "a lot of jet" for the average warbird aficionado.
For G.A., the most popular jet warbirds are likely the L-39, S.211, T-33, and Jet Provosts/Strikemasters. It seems that L-29's have gotten somewhat scarce as compared to 8 years ago.

The contractors is what I was thinking of, not the warbird aficionados.

Heard the back story of the events leading to his ejection. Hopefully they take the lessons learned and apply them. Glad he made it out okay.
