that 2nd L39 is absolutely gourgeous
To be clear: In 1967, the Warsaw Pact announced a tender for a subsonic training aircraft. (Warsaw Pact - the opposite pole of NATO whose members were: USSR, Poland, Hungary, GDR, Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, Czechoslovakia). The tender was attended by: USSR, Poland, Czechoslovakia and I think also GDR. The competition was won by Czechoslovakia with the L39 Albatros, which was designed, designed and constructed by engineer Vlček and his team from the Research and Test Aviation Institute in Prague - Letňany, str..Beranových 64. The L39 Albatros was the successor to the L29 Delfín, also entirely designed in Prague under led by Ing. Wolf. The aircraft was produced in the following factories: Aero in the town of Vodochody, approx. 30 km from Prague, Motorlet Praha-Jinonice and the Rudý Letov factory in Letňany, 35 Beranových Street, Prague. Part of the project was also the production of flight TL 39 and catapult NKTL 29-39 trainers. For example, 372 NKTL 29-39 trainers were produced. L39 aircraft of various versions were produced approx. 100 pieces per year and exported to all countries of the Warsaw Pact, including the USSR! (except for Poland, which did not lose the tender.) but also to other socialist countries and also to so-called friendly countries such as: Iraq, Libya ... and of course to China. The L39 was produced modernized until 2004, I think. After 1989, US companies also took part in the modernization. The production of aircraft continues in AERO Vodochody until today - L39 NG, L159... Customers are also US companies providing service to the US army during the training of military pilots . The whole project is Czech and has nothing to do with Russia, the USSR or the RF. The Czechs are understandably very proud of the production of these aircraft, considering that only 9-10 countries in the world produce jet fighters of their own design. Czechoslovak industry also participated in the development and production of Russian space technology. For this share, Czechoslovakia was rewarded by sending Vladimír Remek into space, and thanks to this, Czechoslovakia was the third country in the world to send a man into space. That's all. Greetings from a former employee of Rudý Letov n.p. later Letov a.s. I worked on the production of the NKTL 29-39 wing and trainer.
Aero is still running, and now makes the NG upgrade, with Williams engine. Though a new one is £15m, compared to 2% of that for an old one.
Aero was build in Czechoslovakia. My country 🙋
For me is very disapointing how British ignore a producer of L39. Aero still exists and produce L39NG. Why they have tried to find a manual in russian language? Aero has everything about this jet!
Aero as well also performs maintenance and overhauls for L39s still in service across the globe.
I'm a US licensed pilot and I was trained as a mechanic by the US Coast Guard.
I also have studied Russian for a long time.
If you need help translating documents, I'm sure I could do better than "hydraulic sheep".
Aero L-29, L-39, L-159, L-39NG are Czechoslovakia (Czech rep.) aircraft! Not Russian! The Russians have nothing to do with them. We are also not saying that British is incestuous.
except, of course, in Norfolk.
the Vampire, Provost and Strikemaster are all faster and cheaper, but I'd still want the (more modern) L39. It looks like a proper warbird. £250k gets you in one, though you need £300 an hour or more for fuel (and the fuel's the cheap bit).
L-39 was flown in a James Bond film 🎥
Russia, russia, russia. Russian jet, russian manual, russian way of doing things..
This plane was designed and built in Czechoslovakia, that's the country Brits sold off to the funny moustache man in 1938 👍
but he promised us he wouldn't invade Poland, so it shows how trusting and nice we are, really.
