L-39 from DE down in Maryland

No argument there. But for whatever reason few (if any) L-39's that
I've seen have them.

Pretty Amazing, huh?

Right. Kinda' gives ya' a warm fuzzy feeling all over knowing that
civilian airplanes ARE designed for crashing, huh?

Oh yea...try flying an ag-plane with a roll bar! Always good.


Friends don't let friends fly metal airplanes.

Thanks for the link. Is it just me, or is this aircraft really ugly?

Thanks for the data. I appreciate the thought, but my email addy is a

I've seen them any number of times at airshows around Philadelphia. To me,
I never thought they were ugly.

It looks just fine, and is functional, rather than just pretty. The
Soviets weren't interested in getting erections.

The aircraft is Czech, not Soviet.
