How many aircraft are certified this way?

Roughly how many ex military swept wing jet aircraft with ejector seats is the CAA granting Permits to Fly to?

I wonder what the decision by MB to stop supplying technical support and replacement parts to aircraft that no longer operate in a military role will have to those ex military jets flying in the USA?

In a way XH558's retirement due to other regulatory issues could also have been brought about by the MB decision, although it would have been an interesting argument, with only half the crew having ejection seats.

Sad day for jet displays I think.
