Brief History
The Aero L-39 Albatros is a high-performance jet trainer developed in Czechoslovakia by Aero Vodochody. It was designed during the 1960s as a replacement for the Aero L-29 Delfín as a principal training aircraft. It was the first trainer aircraft to be equipped with a turbofan powerplant.

@Hedero

I only do it because BogdanX does it occasionally. I didn't know real aircraft had it lol.@FeatherWing
@Hedero
So like, I want to ask you because I can't find an answer on my own.
The red lines around the canopy, what are they for? I've seen them on many aircraft, but I can't find n answer, so I wanted to see if you knew
I know I feel pretty honored.@KnightOfRen
Pretty cool that this got into the beta post
Yes it is@FinnAurora

It's ight.@KnightOfRen
I think I am going AFK for 2-3 days. Rexcelsior will be postponed. Sorry. :(
Cool@KnightOfRen
I might make one of these.....
Thanks@Rechal
Pretty good
Yeah the cockpit color was a huge mistake. And the paintjob is a bit fictional. However, I personally enjoy the Russian, desert color. But thankyou for your support and feedback!@FairFireFlight
Ah@Tang0five
very nice and a Joy to fly , though :
1 - same problem as the Canberra , flat cockpit kinda ruins it
2 - acceleration is too high , lower drag and engine power should fix it
3 - also pretty boring paint scheme
