It doesnt matter if Czechoslovakia or Czech rep.. This is Czech plane and I am Czech.. L-29 is good old one, L-39 is newer and latest Czech jet is L-159 Alca (advanced light combat fighter). You can find this fighter here on YT too.
Dave races an L-39 at Reno. Go to davemorss(dot)com and on the home page is a link for racing jets at reno. His wife Karen wrote the article. Search for morss here on YT and you will find in cockpit video of jet racing.
Thanks, I saw the web, interesting. I heard about reno racing before, also watched some videos.. See the latest type of Aero jet here: youtube(dot)com/watch?v=akZMsKvmTLw and youtube(dot)com/watch?v=RoVPvTiYeD0
Wow! that is amazing that it came with all of that stuff. What a great aircraft! I wish I could fly one of those bad boys. That p51 is pretty awesome also.
Yes it is. This one was used in Chekeslovakia. It came with drop tanks and gun pods, bombs could also be hung from the wing. It has a very short range, about 45 min at cruise and some systems are operated by nitrogen pressure, like breaks, emergency gear blowdown. If you run out of nitrogen you have no breaks! We think it was to stop defectors.
Mark,
This is great! I miss Puff... it was great to hear her again.

I sounds almost exactly like Steve Unzes R/C jet! Same configuration.
