If you have an interest in jet warbirds, you should consider joining CJAA. If you are considering owning and flying them, it's a huge resource you really need. $80 a year. https://classicjets.org/?q=join

They seem quite popular as far as jet warbirds go.

I'm now an L-39 instructor, and recently received my Statement of Aerobatic Competency in the L-39.
I am happy to answer any questions that I can on the aircraft. Feel free to post here or drop me a p.m.

Does that include taking an existing AI-25 TL as a core?

I have not seen it in person, but it does look very nice in the pictures. I'm looking forward to actually flying one at some point. I'm sure the performance will be better, but I'm very interested to see how much the low RPM spool time has changed. Although the TFE371-3 conversions get rid of the RAT, I really don't understand why most owners keep the RAT with the Ivchenko engine, since all the jets I've flown have modern American batteries.

Isn't that for engine start? With the standard l39 motor?
