I've enjoyed watching a lot of aircraft and now I can add a MiG-21R to the list. In 1986, the folks of Aviation Classics started importing and restoring MiG-15s, -17s, and -21s.
This aircraft was originally built in 1971, was imported from Czechoslovakia, and is now privately owned.
For video of this aircraft including some aerobatics, see:

I don't have too much video of the plane actually flying as the owner departed the area to enjoy flying aerobatics. It was impressive to see the teamwork between the pilot and ground crew; many thanks to both for sharing the experience with us!
See this gentlemen fly his MiG-17 years earlier in:
