Take an L-39 ride!
The Switzerland-based L-39 engages regularly in NATO air combat training with the French Air Force. At the same time, this jet is available for you to take a joyride. This means that you’ll fly with top-notch military pilots that went through training programs with the Swiss Air Force (often jointly carried out together with the USAF). More powerful than any piston engine two-seater, it is made for maximum maneuverability and flight experience. As the L-39 is a trainer, both the instructor and the trainee (that is, you) have a fully-equipped cockpit and a great view. Thanks to its short and straight wings, the L-39 can perform stunning maneuvres and push up to +8 / -4 G. Even if it doesn’t go supersonic, it’s great value for money and a thrill you’ll never forget.

A little bit of L-39 history
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. With around 3000 units built, the L-39 Albatros is one of the most successful jet aircraft of all time. Its main qualities are the great maneuverability and the good view through the all-glass canopy even from the back seat. Among the operators are Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, the former GDR, Hungary, Lithuania, Russia, Thailand, Ukraine and the United States.
