L-39ZA ART ALBATROS

The Aero L-39 Albatros is a Czechoslovakian single-engine low-wing jet-powered training aircraft. The flight of the prototype took place on November 4, 1968, and entry into the line took place in 1971. The L-39 replaced the Aero L-29 Delfin. It very quickly became the basic training aircraft of the entire Warsaw Pact, with the exception of Poland, which used PZL TS-11 Iskra aircraft. The L-39 turned out to be an export hit by Aero plants, as it was used by the air forces of over 30 countries, and its design is still being developed (L-59 Super Albatros and L-159 aircraft). The main functions of the machine are advanced training, but it is also used as a light stormtrooper.
