Hey, LP--

Have you ever had the opportunity to take a ride in, or fly, an L-39
Albatross? Just curious. I'd love to own one if they weren't so
impractical.


Hi Max,
No, I haven't ever had the opportunity to fly in one yet. A millionaire had
one at Tulsa International where I had an office for years. There's
supposed to be another one at Sundance Airpark in NW OKC. I think a doctor
owns that one.
In 1998 there were only 5 in the U.S. (private buyers).

Many sailors at the Wednesday night races this summer had their own aircraft
or a big interest in them. Funny how sailing and flying kind of go
together.

Good Lord the Albatross is just that...an Albatross

Today I took a buddies Panzl S-330 up for a couple hours over LIS.
I pulled some +&- 9 G's.
