The L-39 “Albatros” is a smaller and lighter jet than the MiGs, hence a lot more maneuverable. Yet it’s a functioning military jet plane and will still pull your face back behind your ears. That is why this is the main training craft for Russian jet pilots. You will even get a chance to fly this jet with the joystick yourself, if you’re game. Just keep your finger off the trigger!
