The L-39 Albatros, a high-performance second-generation jet trainer, was developed by the Aero Vodochody aircraft company in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s. It is a two-seat, all-metal monoplane powered by an Ivchenko AI-25 turbofan engine. Becoming the most widely used jet trainer, until today about 2,800 L-39s have served with more than thirty air forces around the world.
\nThe L-39C was a standard basic trainer, while the L-39ZO was developed into an interim weapons trainer.
\nMany of the ex-air force service aeroplanes are finding new homes with private warbird owners all over the world, which fact is particularly evident in the United States, where their popularity led to a purely \u201cL-39 Jet Class\u201d at the Reno Air Races. One L-39C was evaluated by the USAF’s 412th Test Wing at Edwards AFB in 2003.<\/p>\n
