The Aero L-39 Albatros is a subsonic jet trainer aircraft developed by the main designer Ing. Jan Vlček of Aero Vodochody in Czechoslovakia in the 1960s.
The L-39 was used by all Warsaw Pact armies (with the exception of Poland) as their principal training aircraft.
In the 1970s and 1980s, about 2,800 L-39s served with thirty air forces around the globe. It is still the most used jet trainer in the world.
It is a versatile aircraft designed for basic, advanced, and combat flight training. Its great flight characteristics and easy handling make it also suitable for aerobatics
