Our fighter jet came in a box from Estonia with 9 days to get it ready for Oshkosh. There's a few issues left, but it finally flies! L-39 Assembly Part 3.

I built several of them myself, health problems, heart attack, lung cancer, muscle and bone condition put a stop to my entire building process. I miss it so much. The L-39 will always hold a special place in my memory, best training jet aircraft ever built! Be careful, have fun, live for today because tomorrow is not promised! If I'm lucky in my next life, I may be doing it again.

By far my favorite aviation channel and there are tons. It’s mind boggling that you purchased a fighter jet, had it shipped from Europe, assembled it in a tiny hanger, found a packer for the chutes, picked the test pilot up in Florida, and airborne in such a short period of time. You are turning dreams into reality and I commend you Matt and the others involved in this project.

The best part for me is to test pilot is left-handed. My personal experience is learning to fly right handed well as an acutely left-handed person was one of the most challenging things I've ever had to do. Thanks Matt for what you do and your willingness to share your personal journey.

I screamed like a little girl watching an experienced pilot take off my homebuilt plane on it's first flight. Wifey screamed like a little boy, too. Great video! Well edited, great filming, and slick. Really stands out above a lot of content out here. Subscribed... Also, it's a freakin jet! Can't imagine the thrill of strapping that on! Just stupid cool what you have done. Can't imagine all the work involved to get this beauty to this point.

Excellent film. The editing of the 360- camera footage in the cockpit was especially good - constantly changing focus with the test pilot!

A bit bittersweet to see how easy is to buy, assemble and fly this nice Czech(oslowakian) jet trainer as L-39 Albatros is. Especially, when you live 30 miles eastern from LKVO (Vodochody, the production factory). Here in CZ in overregulated EASA it is almost impossible. Know what i'm talking about, I own plane by myself (L-40 MetaSokol) Good luck!
