It was a Wonderful flight man! just awesome. it would be even greater if you some information about how many G's you were pulling throughout different maneuvers. This L-39 fella ... is a fantastic piece of machinery.
What an awesome bird the L-39 is.. Excellent flying. Just curious, what was the warning light on the master cation panel? And the airspeed indicator was in knots right? If you have any more videos of the L-39 it would be absolutely amazing to see them. Cheers.
Airspeed indicator in km/h. Left pull-tab on back of stick is trimmer. Right button probably for arming. Originally, altimeter and vertical speed indicator in meters, meters/second. There are lot of techical information about this plane, but it all in Russian.
Velmi by ma zaujimalo, kde sa da ziskat licencia na L39. Je v Cechach niekde letecka skola kam sa da ist, zaplatit za skolenie a licencie aby som mohol lietat na L39? Dik!
*...WAY too restricted in the US* Say WHAT? There are well over 200 L-39s in private hands in the USA... dozens more in Canada, UK, AUS, etc. Probably real popular with Russians, Ukrainians, Czechs, and other East Bloc pilot-enthusiasts too. SR-71, now *that* is a tough nut to acquire. ;')
Yes, generally L39s are equiped with VS-1 BRI escape systems, but aero has manufactured and certified a new seat, capable of zero speed zero altitude escape: the VS-2 escape system.
no but if i had this plane..i'd have every thing like a fighter pilot anyway. these are still used as fighter trainers in countrys so might as well pretend you are one to! :P
So help me. I will grind my fingers down to the bone out in west texas or where ever hells highway takes me to own, pilot,maintain a fighter jet for my lifes goal.
I'll admit she's a good-looking, well-behaved, and relatively affordable little straight-wing trainer, but... WHY so many fatal accidents, most involving failure of the (side-hinged) canopy to stay CLOSED? In fact I note that Vodochody's latest incarnation, the L-159 Alca, has American style fore-and-aft hinging of the canopies... that's a hint and a half fo' yo' azz... ;')
Great, hats off to you ! ...thanks for sharing: it brings back memories. 😎👍
I've always loved the albatros L-39. Thanks for posting.
Well done, smooth and precise

The accelerometer is the upper most left gauge. You can see it for much of the flight. Sometimes the shadows dim it out though.
... and best trainer ever built worldwide. Must be a real joy to fly.
Great video, great plane and great pilot.

What a great video. Thanks for sharing.
This is my new favourite video.

Excellent video! What a beauty! Thank you for sharing.
(which airfield is this?)
Airspeed indicator in km/h.

no, in czech
altitude seems to be in feet. in the first minute he was at an altitude of 4500 - looked more like feet instead of 15000 feet.
NICE it seem there is many cockpit version of l39 with different instruments position like speed and alt
Awesome video. Wish I had an aircraft like this!
hey ! Could you tell me what is that little pull-tab on the back of your stick?excellent video :)
Which license do you need to operate this plane ? I guess not the microlight one :)
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing and keep it up!
Simply amazing!
excellent flying

I've just flown one of these, brilliant aircraft, excellent video, buddy :-)
Beautiful video. Thank you for posting--fly safe.
This is the only video I've seen where an L39 makes maneuvers that resemble an actual fighter jet. This must be a very experienced pilot!
Albatros is the beest 😍😍
Lefthanded pilot?
perfect fly!
Airfield Ocova, LZOC, Slovakia
Good stick!
Im glad you didn't put musical it

Hell, Pride Aircraft even had SU-27's for sale. I'd like an F-5 but they're pricey.
Aaaaah I wanna take a ride :D
Who was flying this
Speed on final is around 250 km/h, on flare 170.
Are these equipped with ejection seats?
Yes, generally L39s are equiped with VS-1 BRI escape systems, but aero has manufactured and certified a new seat, capable of zero speed zero altitude escape: the VS-2 escape system.
Nice!
Got my ride in one. Wish I could do it daily.
beautiful
This is neat! *launches FSX*
I'll have mine soon...
Would an O2 mask and g-suit be required to fly this plane? I am new to the jet world and don't mean to sound like an idiot
No not necessarily
no but if i had this plane..i'd have every thing like a fighter pilot anyway. these are still used as fighter trainers in countrys so might as well pretend you are one to! :P
ked biele albatrosy este fungovali mali sme stale show zadarmo nad hlavami :)

This is not acrobatics it's aerobatic

... love that RUSSIAN ADI...
+John J. Sanchez its czech
+Lukáš L Yes the plane is. But the ADI looks identical to russian ADI, probably due to historical reasons.
