    My first flight in the L39 fighter jet. I had the opportunity to fly in this rare GA aircraft last week. And it was a blast to say the least.
    First I need to thank the pilot and owner who took me up in his L39. Raf is a great guy and he collects these airplanes for a great cause at forgottenheroes...
    The L39 is a rare type of aircraft and these planes were once active for military used. They were primarily used as trainer aircraft for fighter jet pilots. In some parts of the world, they are still very active and used in light combat missions.
    On my flight today, we took off from Hampton roads airport and went to about 11,000 ft. There I got some stick time and we practiced some amazing aileron rolls. The L39 flies like a charm and this jet is so nimble that it goes immediately wherever you put. Very neat and predictable in it’s flying characteristics. capable of tight steep turns and easily cruise at 400 mph at altitude. The model we’re flying today has been well restored and fully upgraded with Garmin glass avionics.
    Here are some of the specs of the L39
    engine - AL-25TL 3,790 pounds of thrust
    speed - up to 466 mph
    range - 300 - 400 miles
    rate of climb - 4,100 fpm
    service ceiling - 36,000 ft
    Price - $200,000

    Thanks for posting videos on the L-39! I'm not a pilot, but I've seen these sporty little jets perform in air shows, seen what they can do, and walked around one. I love their lines, so graceful at any angle!

    My family friend had one when I was 14 and took me for an aerobatic ride. It was to this day the most fun I’ve ever had in an airplane. It’s also what drove me to get my pilots license at 16

    I got to fly an Extra 330 a few years ago. It is one of the most acrobatic prop planes in the world! I did rolls, Loops, and deep dives! It was a blast! I fly RC acrobatic planes, Jets, and Helicopters as a hobby. I’m not an actual pilot, just a hobbyist but what a BLAST!!!!

      Change that to rich white guys! Maybe even just rich guys, I prefer to leave race out of it. I watched this video cause Mojo is a cool dude and does interesting aviation related stuff and race gas nothing to do with it, so sad that is the first thing to come to your mind. Get out there and do something and show it, I’ll watch it and race won’t even enter my mind! Cheers.
