Wow, just looked this up and the Nanchang CJ-6A is still in production??

[Dan Jones]

From what we've been able to piece together there's a couple of warehouses full of unassembled airplanes in China and whenever they need some they just assemble a few from their holdings. Whether or not they are still building new ones from raw materials in a factory or not is kinda unknown.

Wow, looks like he was pretty accomplished, too...

He was a highly skilled pilot. The terrain looks very steep and he surely picked the best possible choice available. Sad to lose such a talented pilot.
