Video from the channel Avalon Airport Spotter about Aero L-39 Albatros, linked on its Above Ten Thousand entry. Duration: 3:50. Language: English. Video type: Air show.

Flying display of an Aero L-39 Albatros at the Tocumwal air show. It is flown by Mark and narrated by the event's announcer.

During the display, the announcer reviews the model's history. It has been produced since 1968 and replaced the L-29 Delfín, a smaller aircraft also by Aero Vodochody, as the main trainer. It is fitted with an Ivchenko turbofan of around 3,800 pounds of thrust. Its auxiliary power unit allows it to start without external support on semi-prepared runways, and visibility from both cockpits is very good.

This example served in the Ukrainian Air Force. The announcer also mentions an armed version, with two or four underwing hardpoints and a 23 mm GSh-23 cannon under the fuselage. There are 12 variants in total, some prepared for the Reno air races.
