Designed and built by Aero Vodochody in Czechoslovakia, the L-39C
is a tandem-seat, single engine jet warbird, originally designed
to be a pilot trainer. The L-39 Albatros has been flown by
numerous Eastern European air forces since 1974. Many L-39s are
now owned privately throughout the world. The L-39 is considered
to be one of the most popular jet warbirds in the world.


And to think I almost purchased one of these (relatively low time and
in good shape) plus a brand new spare engine still in the can less
than 10 years ago for about the same price I paid for the Debonair.
THAT would have been a *good* investment!
