Fly the MB-326 in Italy - the homeland of this jet
While the L-39 is located in Italy generally in winter, the MB-326 and the Jet Provost are located here permanently and hence are available all year. With the MB-326, we offer an Italian-made aircraft that has been beautifully restored. It is the predecessor of the MB-339, flown by the famous Italian military display team Frecce Tricolori. With its perfect "+" shape, the MB-326 is also a frequent guest at airshows in Europe. It is therefore often the first choice for Italian aviation enthusiasts.
The L-39 Albatros has the advantage of a higher back seat, so the visibility for the passenger, situated behind the pilot, is significantly increased compared to the MB-326. Even better is the British jet trainer Jet Provost - or BAC Jet Provost T.5A. It has a side-by-side seating arrangement. Passengers have not only a perfect view outside, but they can also perfectly observe the pilot at work. This arrangement was typical for British aircraft, and we can offer the same with the Swiss Hawker Hunter and the Vampire in the UK. Not sure which of the 3 attractive Italian options to pick? Don't hesitate to contact us, we gladly support you in finding the best option for you.
The MB-326, Fly the Italian Classic Military Aircraft
It is an honor to offer this Italian-made jet legend in Italy. The Aermacchi MB-326 was - like the L-39 and other aircraft offered by MiGFlug - mainly a military jet trainer. But single and two-seat light attack versions of this model have been produced also. South African pilots flew the MB-326M at around 650 km/h at a very low altitude of only 15 m to avoid Angolan and Cuban air defenses. During the South African Border War, an MB-326 returned with an unexploded missile in its exhaust. With around 800 units produced and exported to over 10 countries, mainly developing countries, the MB-326 was fairly successful. It was also operated by the Royal Australian Air Force and the US Air Force Test Pilot School, as well as by NASA.
Limits and requirements
To meet safety requirements, there is a height limit of 1.90m (6’2). If you are close to these numbers, please get in touch with us.
Custom-tailored Flight Program
As in all locations, it is about you, the customer. The pilot tried to find out what you are looking for and how many G's you are able and willing to sustain. The flight program then is custom-tailored to your needs and adapted in-flight. You will not only see a fantastic Italian landscape with a lot of variety but also experience some fast jet aerobatics. Among the possible figures are:
- Looping
- Immelman
- Rolls
- Split-S
- Vertical diving and climbing
- Tail-Chase
- High-speed low-level flying
- Control of the jet by the customer
Including preparations, briefing/discussion of your personal flight program, safety, and in-cockpit-training - plan with around 3 hours total time on site. Usually followed by a relaxed drink with the pilot.

A bit of extra weight is usually fine - the limit is the leg strap, and we've flown guests up to around 300 lbs (136 kg). For height, from about 6 ft 5 (1.98 m) or with a long torso, let us know your seated height so we can confirm the fit.

What about safety on the MB-326 flight?
Top of the list, always. Experienced professional pilots, meticulously maintained aircraft – and across MiGFlug’s 20+ years and over 10,000 flights, not one incident, however small.
Is this offer genuine, and can I check reviews first?

Your Flight Day

What does the day of an MB-326 jet flight look like?
You'll meet your pilot and get to know the MB-326, suit up, and talk through the intensity you'd like. After a safety and cockpit briefing you head out for aerobatics, hands-on flying and mountain sightseeing, then come back to your flight certificate.
Should I arrive before my booked MB-326 flight time?
Your booking time is when you arrive and meet the pilot, not when the jet leaves the ground, so there's no need to arrive earlier. Just leave a margin for traffic so you arrive unhurried.
