There had been one in Alberta Canada several years ago. Not sure of the current status.

According to TC database, C of R cancelled May 7, 2012. Probably sold to the U.S.?

I believe the Alberta IS-32 groundlooped landing in a crop damaging an aileron in 2011. There's no factory support and no repair has been made.

I did my initial training in a IS28
I sprained my back moving that thing around on the ground that took me 2 years to heal.

Yes it’s a beast. Very specific techniques and ground support equipment required to protect oneself and avoid blocking runways. I owned a 28 and landed out several times. One of my students required a hernia repair

Initial training in Texas and winch training in Australia in an
IS-28b2.Â* I thought it flew great but what did I know way back then?Â*
Never landed one out.
