L-39 Albatros : flight from Avignon - Top Gun Voltige [Short Edit]

Video from the channel SJZ about Aero L-39 Albatros, linked on its Above Ten Thousand entry. Duration: 8:32. Language: French. Video type: Onboard.

The video, an edit set to music, follows from the cockpit a flight in an Aero L-39 Albatros departing from Avignon, in the south of France, combining navigation, aerobatic flying and return to the airfield.

Over the radio, the L-39 announces itself alongside another aircraft, both having taken off from Avignon for a circuit flight heading toward Cavaillon. Later the instructor hands over the controls to the passenger, who climbs to 4,000 feet; with a tailwind they reach a speed of 450. The maneuvers follow: a rétablissement tombé to make a half-turn, a return to normal attitude with a descending half roll, a vertical climb and an inverted pass with a near-weightless sensation. The return is made via the Gorges de la Nesque, with flaps deployed on approach and landing.

The title places the flight within the Top Gun Voltige activity, and the description presents the L-39 as a high-performance jet trainer.
