Fly the L39 Albatros fighter jet
The L39 Albatros is a high performance fighter jet. Conceived as a jet trainer, many fighter pilots have used it to log hours and perfect their skills.

It is a very nice fighter jet to fly, smooth and agile, and is currently being used for light duty attacks and training. There are many private L39 Albatros around the world.
