Clave Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) The Aero L-39 Albatros trainer designed in the Czech Republic, entered service in 1971 and production continued until 1999. It was replaced in the Czech Air Force by the L-59 Super Albatros. More than 30 air forces used or still use the L-39 along with many civilian owners and aerobatic teams round the world. There are around 2,800 L-39s still in use today. There are two main versions: The L-39C which is unarmed but had 2 x pylons for tanks or practice weapons, and the L-39Z with 4 x pylons and a twin-barrel 23mm cannon. This example is an L-39C of the Abkhazian Air Force circa 2009. This example is an L-39C of the Afghan Air Force circa 2007. This example is an L-39C of the Algerian Air Force circa 2002.

Col.
