The L-39 Albatros is a single-engine two-seat jet training aircraft, primarily designed for basic and advanced training, including weapon delivery practicing, with secondary light combat capability. The first flight of the L-39 was carried out in 1968 and since then Aero has delivered more than 2,900 units of several versions of this successful type. The L-39 aircraft still serves in many air forces, including the Czech Republic, and is also popular among private pilots, especially in the United States.
The L-39 Albatros first flew on 4 November 1969. Serial production began in 1971. The design is Czechoslovak (Czech) – the construction of Aero's chief designer Jan Vl?ek.
