There are several Yak’s the mainland of europe(france, germany)

Well, speaking from this side of the pond… there a re quite a few examples in the US that I can think of immediately…

Yak-9U (and others)
and of course the Fighter Factory’s I-15, I-16, I-153 etc. If I remember correctly, these particular a/c were restored and originally operated by the Alpine Fighter Collection at Wanaka NZ.

I know I’ve seen random photos of several.

To address the Mig 3 specifically, this Allison-powered example was just flown and belongs to the Fighter Factory in Virgina.
