The L-39 Albatros was selected as the standard jet trainer in 1972 for the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact countries, with the exception of Poland and was the successor to the L-29 Delfin jet. The L-39 is a single engine, tandem two seat, all-metal, subsonic aircraft. The L-39 made its first flight on November 4, 1968. The aircraft's primary mission was basic and advanced training, with external armament stores that would enabled it to fulfill operational training in ground attack roles. The L-39 is a unique blend of Soviet-style simplicity and Czechoslovakian-style Western technology. An amazingly easy aircraft to fly -- with excellent back-up systems. This is the current Russian Trainer.
