Awesome! Thanks for the detailed brief!
“Let me know what else you want to see...” All of it dude, I want to see all of it. Thanks for posting these.
2nd this
I'm flying this in DCS world with VR and its an awesome plane. So far it looks like its gonna be very similar. I look for videos like this to practice flying DCS aircraft. Now I wanna fly the real thing.
Loved this video!!! I personally would love to watch all 100% of your training unedited as well as this voiceover / edited / music version. I’m dying to see part II and part III. Please continue to share this awesome content and training with us wannabes!.
Thanks Timothy! I will get the other parts out, I just can't say when. And the unedited versions might be a good idea too - those are usually less editing work. I might put those on my other channel: th-cam.com/users/chrislamprecht
A bucket list item here! Amazing video! Congratulations. Can’t wait to fly the L39, let alone get a rating!
Wow only 248 subs? I have a feeling that is about to shoot up! EXCELLENT filming and editing. I can't wait to watch all of these, I'm in love with the albatross!
Awesome videos! Keep em coming! Living vicariously through you.
I just happened to come across you channel from another aviation channel and immediately was blown away when you mentioned Rockford! I live here in Rockford about 15 minutes away from KRFD and drive by there regularly to get to my inlaws. Always wondered who is flying the jets and now I know! My kids and I love to see it when we happen to catch you up!
Brilliant and elegant storytelling. Thanks for posting!
I just subscribed and loving your L39 training. I just finished part 1 and look forward to part 2 and beyond. Thank you for posting your L39 training. Very inspiring👍👍
Excellent training video. Briefing and checklists were great.
This content is awesome! The camera angles... crazy!
Very well made video, and some fun flying from what I can tell! 👍

For us L-39 pilots wannabe this is a super excellent video!!! I would like to see everything there is to see about training in one of this jets!!!!
This is exactly what I want to do. Keep up the good and informational videos.
Thank you for making this! Top notch video.
Great video, enjoy the adventure. Your instructor seems superb. Look forward to the next instalment.
Remember, Jets fly on 2 gauges. Airspeed and fuel! 😎😂
Got to fly in one if these about 19yrs ago. Guy had one at the local airport I worked at while in high school. He had a twin turbine powered commander also. I detailed his planes for him twice a year. Last time I detailed his L39 for a ride in it. Worth every bit of 14hrs of washing & waxing.... the top gun scene got a good laugh btw lol.
Great video - I've spoken with these guys at Code ! and definitely plan on getting out for the type rating and maybe buying one for fun. Instruction quality was solid, good affirmative transfer of control, good explanation of what to look and feel for. Solid hop.
I love it. Amazing video!!!... as Mike Myers would say...”Good work my friend”.
Excellent video Chris!
That’s incredible! Excellent video!
very well done, love the L39c...I subscribed :)
Beautiful , I am am getting into training this year!
Awesome video! Flying and L-39 is on my bucket list after my buddy John Naugle flew / rode in one.

EXELENTE VIDEO MUY INTERESANTE ..EXELENTE AVION
This is great....now I want to do that sort of training.... gotta get that flight time and Instrument rating!
EXCELLENT!!!
GREAT video
Where is the rest of the series? Im excited to see them as I want to follow in your footsteps
very cool
awesome! Is there a part 2?
Love from Bangladesh🇧🇩🇧🇩
Hoping for more videos soon
Great video. Any updated videos coming out? Looks like a sweet bird to fly.
Thanks. I have the rest of my training recorded, and some other flights too (including formation flights). As soon as I find the time to edit them together, I will put more out. Sorry it's taking so long...
That was the coolest damn thing. First of your vids I’ve seen. What does a regular pleasure flight look like?
Thanks Matt. I can't promise when, but I will get a pleasure flight up at some point!
great work on the video, and I'm looking forward to the series. I'm flying an L-39 next month out of Traverse City, Michigan, and am trying to sort out how to record audio and video. Could you share some details on the cameras used, mounting methods, and how you captured the cockpit audio? I'm especially interested in the external camera. thanks!!
Thanks... I'll be in Traverse City the weekend before Oshkosh. Lots of details on the cameras & audio.. can you contact me at my email address in the About section of my channel and I'll send you the details or get on the phone with you. The short version is for audio I use a cable that plugs into the plane and the other end is a 1/8" headphone jack that goes into an old iPhone that has a headphone jack, and I use the app Voice Record Pro. GoPro audio is just too unreliable, and if the camera overheats, you lose audio, etc. The external cam is a GoPro Max with a certain mount and a cage, all metal, no plastic.
Dope.
Are most flight instructors like this on the ground? Seems like an amazing instructor.
He's a former Air Force instructor pilot, and in my experience, those guys are all very good at flight training.
Hi I did the jet in Brno Czech Republic.
"Thats how you fight an airplane"
homie im just tryna learn how to fly a jet...holup...
Very good film. You do and i dream about it!!!!! It's very nice for a lot of people who cannot affort this! On this way we dreampilots can enjoy the training for the L39 type rating. Thank you! Please stop the music, i like the real sound only!!!
nice
I was code1 last month, I am a next challenger,hahaha…
Хороший самолёт. Хоть он и создан в 60-х годах прошлого века, во первых его дизайн даже сейчас не выглядит архаичным, а наоборот, очень современный. И во вторых он и сейчас может быть хорошим учебным самолётом. В 80-х у нас в городе были такие в лётном училище. Мы, дети, ходили смотреть на их полёты.
East German emblem. badass!
Paint is maybe original because It's a plane from former eastern block.
What a fantastic experience!
What's the hourly cost?
At cruise speeds it burns about 150 gallons per hour of jet fuel, so at current prices about $800-1000 per hour for fuel.
Hello there! Love your videos. Looks like you're living my dream. Were you a civilian before? Or, are you an airforce pilot? Can a civilian get the fighter jet license? Please inform me. Thanks.
Hi Mehbubul, I am a civilian and I have never been in the Air Force or other military. In the US, a civilian can fly jet warbird aircraft like the L-39 with a pilot's license and 1000 hours of total flight time.
How long we can stay at the same place?
I want to get lesson 2. How do i do that?
When are you gonna make part 2?
I don't know.. sorry, I've just been busy, but it will come out! Thanks for the interest.
When can we expect an update video? =)
It's still on my list, but yeah it's taken longer than I expected! In the meantime, I can give you two videos of some of my flying, made by others who are better at making videos than me! th-cam.com/video/usYI1IgqWi8/w-d-xo.html by SoCalFlyingMonkey is great, and th-cam.com/video/RpSTCJiLMN4/w-d-xo.html by Just Plane Silly is about a recent formation flight we did.
What happened to the rest of the video series?
So civilians can fly this jet, How much does training cost? What licenses do you need?
Santa Claus I still waiting . ..
Are more videos coming beyond Part 1?
Yes, I have several terabytes of video of the rest of my training! I will get more videos out, I just don't know when yet!
@@speedbrake Please!
@@speedbrake Please !
Is there a part 2. I can’t seem to find it.
I have the footage recorded but I haven't made part 2 yet.. I know it's been years!
@@speedbrake thinking of going to get my LOA as well. Would be cool to see the remaining training.
hey bro may i know how much u paid for it & how long until we get license?
Current prices look like $325k to $635k, there are some current listings at www.code1aviation.com/aircraft-listings-for-sale
To get your rating in the L-39 (in the US) you need 1000 hours total flight time first, then it can take a few days to a week or two for the training
What was the most terrifying part?
The fuel bill
@@speedbrake Good one. LOL
@@speedbrake Chuckling, you should see my F4 fuel bill. Fortunately the AF paid it. Great video, nice job on your first ride.
Was this series abandoned?
Hi William, I haven't given up yet on finishing the series, I just need a chunk of time to edit the next video. I'm not a pro editor, so it takes me at least a month to put one together.
what happened to the videos?
I just haven't had time to edit all my footage into something watchable (yet)... sorry!
@@speedbrake no worries.. just found your channel and was going through the videos. the l39 is one of my favorite air craft next to the f16, viggen, gripen, eurofighter and p47. i even have a turine rc l39 that i love to fly and fly as uch as possible on the weekends. so these videos of your l39 is very awesome
Don't you have to wear a mask on your helmet for Oxygen?
Like other jet Pilots do?
Oxygen is required when the cabin pressure is above 12,500 feet for more than 30 minutes, or more than 14,000 feet for any duration. However, the L-39 cabin is pressurized, so for example, at 22,000 feet, the cabin pressure is 12,300 feet. So in the L-39, you usually only need oxygen if you're going to 23,000 feet or higher. Oxygen requirements are covered by the FAA regulations in 14 CFR § 91.211 (for private flights), see www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/14/91.211
For military pilots, especially fighter pilots, there may be other reasons to wear oxygen even at lower altitudes, such as increased performance under high G maneuvers, etc. Maybe a military pilot can answer this part.
@@speedbrake Thank you so much!
I would love to invite the instructor to a challenge of how to play a song on the drumset. He would be dumb in two seconds. How I would enjoy him spending shit loads of money Trying to be a musician. 🎉 We are all hotshits in our individual realms of reality.
Rock on dude!
Stop the music!!!
