Aero L-39 Albatros
The Aero L-39 Albatros is used as an agile jet trainer, tactical reconnaissance aircraft and light ground support fighter. The jet is mostly used to train future pilots of larger aircraft such as the MiG-29 Fulcrum. The Albatros is however still used in many Air Force as an attack aircraft for air to ground support missions or as a tactical reconnaissance aircraft. Since its commissioning in 1971, over 2’800 aircraft have been built in various versions. The L-39 Albatros is a modern jet trainer of the same generation as the F-14 Tomcat or the MiG-23 Flogger and was launched only a short time before the American F-15 Eagle or the Russian MiG-29 Fulcrum.

Apart from the popular L-39 Albatros, Aero Vodochody has also built its predecessor, the L-29 Delfin and its successor, the ground attack aircraft L-159 Alca. Furthermore, Aero Vodochody has been building MiG Models under license, such as the MiG-15 offered by MiGFlug in the Czech Republic.
