The Aero L-39 “Albatros” was designed by Aero Vodochody in the former Czechoslovakia (CSSR) to meet the Soviet Air Force’s needs of a lightweight, cost-effective and maneuverable training aircraft. Thanks to its spacious cockpit with great view and its easy handling, it is an ideal aircraft for a jet flight.
