You lucky bastard. :) I'm a humble private pilot (night-rated though) and gear handle and RPM lever define the ultimate high-performance complex plane for me so can only dream of flying a fighter/trainer, let alone for a living. The L-39 has always been one of the most beautiful planes in my eyes, if a plane gets any more beautiful then it has a delta wing. For some reason it's also very popular as RC model, mine have so far been electric (ducted fans) but I've got a 60 N class micro-turbine in a box waiting for a suitable plane and it's probably going to be another L-39...
Wow! Just great! Love that plane, flying Lotus Sim model in FSX. A bit underpowered and very basic, but that's what makes it interesting! You've got a great opportunity and managed beautifully! Shame that landing's not shown (did you get to do it?).
I got to fly with Larry many years ago. I was expecting some high intensity instruction and the man is so chill it allows you to absorb everything he is teaching! Was definitely one of the highlights of my career!
Man that was great! I had a chuckle when I heard Citabria, I have the same plane so I felt like I was there wit the guy:-) Would love to have a got at the L39, would be an easy plane I'd say once you had the numbers:-)
What a great aircraft. We want to purchase a L-39. But it is impossible to fly in Germany with EASA license 🙈. Or has anybody an idea how that could work for us in Europe???
Yup, they even had to transport them from the factory to USSR on trains, since Czechoslovakian airspace provided insufficient lift to just fly them over.
Well I’d trade the sim UPRT training on the GLEX or the DA90 anytime to do it with this instructor on the L39 really nice to see thanks for sharing...glad to someone benefiting from this experience...😊👍🏼
What are you grinning about? Do your same stall routine while you're in a turn instead of going straight and go into a tight turn stall. That should be my airplane.
Great instructor. Love his confidence and professionalism.
Larry is a legend in the business!
Every instructor should use this guy as a shining example, He is the best.
Instructor is smooth and very good at his craft
I tightened my leg and ABS muscles at 11:14 you all totally did too!
Lovely plane! 10 years works instraktor of this plane in the old USSR!

I want a go!
Great instructor. Would like to see the landing too...
How much and how many hours does it cost roughly for a private licensed pilot to learn flying L-39 well enough? Thanks.
Best instructor ever, want to come over there and learn to fly with you man.
Where is the landing?????
The man knows that airplane so deeply that he reads the instruments without even looking at them...
love watching your face in this video. I've seen those expressions many times. I'm quite jealous. ;)
how can you do wrong with instructor Spock ?:)) thx for sharing !
I'd say that with a cool CFI like that, flying is everything but difficult,👍
I got a check ride in one of these at Chino KCNO.
LIFE Changing experience I'll never go back to prop aircraft
come on! wtf! where's the landing?
C’mon, you know you didn’t want the flight to end, right?

get dcs man much better
Awesome i love it! I had to watch in 2 parts because i was drinking coors light the first time and honestly i couldnt take it! Happy new year guys!
what did you do this training for? pleasure or work?
L-39 is incredible!
Nice Vid, buddy :) thumbs up!
What?!!! No cool helmet? Come on bro ;)
where can i do this?
BRILLIANT instructor.👍
That hair style is gravity proof.

where is the rest of it?
Cant believe no one in the comments noticed the 420 joke @ 08:43
sounds exacly like in DCS
Agreed, though taxiing looks easier in real life, and seems to move+turn with less thrust.
CFI: I know it's your first lesson and the L-39 may seem intimidating. But why don't you take her up for couple of laps by yourself.
Loved the video very cool I realistically will have to stick with dcs l-39 to experience this.
TheCraigHudson me to, just printed a checklist to get some more realism
That was a lot of fun, two cool costumers in the cockpit.
L 39’s are like F-4’s they look “Nekkid” without wing and centerline drop tanks.
Where is this and is it open to the public?
Man that was great! I had a chuckle when I heard Citabria, I have the same plane so I felt like I was there wit the guy:-) Would love to have a got at the L39, would be an easy plane I'd say once you had the numbers:-)
Excellent instructional technique, clear precise and lots of praise.
Wow, lemme at it!
Best instructor ever.. That looks like so much fun.
That IP is a real gem!! Awesome.
Love this instructor.
where is the rest of the flight... awesome video.. instructor was epic..
Looks soo much fun! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Where do I sign up for this?
good student, good instructor.👍
i was to buy a lamborgini aventador now i want a l-39 albatros
Great timing, these days you can buy brand new model! www.l-39ng.cz/
Instructor is cool as a cucumber!
CFI deserves an award.
Technician looks like native american

Incredibly interesting video.
Great footage and instruction!
So cool!
Great CFI and video.
I am so jealous!!! That looks awesome!!!
Great video. Loved every minute of it.
Very cool video
how his face changes at 9:02 :D
Nice!!! 😍
So this jet is 300,000$... its a pretty affordable FAST JET like damn. Gonna buy this thing one day
it is the fuel burn that will get you... lol
What a great aircraft. We want to purchase a L-39. But it is impossible to fly in Germany with EASA license 🙈.
Or has anybody an idea how that could work for us in Europe???
There IS a way - stay away from EASA and go to Mother Russia.
can one of these fly from new york to boston and back?
Yup, they even had to transport them from the factory to USSR on trains, since Czechoslovakian airspace provided insufficient lift to just fly them over.

Tyler, where did you do this training at and who is the instructor? Thanks.
