Brief History
The Aero L-39 Albatros is a high-performance jet trainer developed in Czechoslovakia by Aero Vodochody. It was designed during the 1960s as a replacement for the Aero L-29 Delfín as a principal training aircraft. It was the first trainer aircraft to be equipped with a turbofan powerplant.

REEEEEEEEEEEE i remember seeing one of these at an airshow 2 years ago
@Hedero
Hm, ok
I only do it because BogdanX does it occasionally. I didn't know real aircraft had it lol.@FeatherWing
@Hedero
So like, I want to ask you because I can't find an answer on my own.
The red lines around the canopy, what are they for? I've seen them on many aircraft, but I can't find n answer, so I wanted to see if you knew
I know I feel pretty honored.@KnightOfRen
Yes it is@FinnAurora
is this the first plane with glasses？
No actually I'm very happy that you did. And thanks!@WNP78
Nice plane by the way, hope you didn't mind me using it on the blog post.
It's ight.@KnightOfRen
Cool@KnightOfRen
Thanks@Rechal
Pretty good
Yeah the cockpit color was a huge mistake. And the paintjob is a bit fictional. However, I personally enjoy the Russian, desert color. But thankyou for your support and feedback!@FairFireFlight
Ah@Tang0five
very nice and a Joy to fly , though :
1 - same problem as the Canberra , flat cockpit kinda ruins it
2 - acceleration is too high , lower drag and engine power should fix it
3 - also pretty boring paint scheme
James Bond. @Hedero
XD Is that a movie?@Tang0five
Awww that's awesome man. I'm sure I will quite enjoy it!@Alta2809
Excellent, I can recreate the opening scene from tomorrow never dies!
@Alta2809 your build is fine if you like it yourself. besides, builds with necessary details and good performance will always get recognition, no matter where you take screenshot. but your screenshot must show the best looking side of your build.
