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.

We like air/wind and all the things one can do with it/them.

I've got a ride in an L-39 coming up this spring. Can hardly wait. There
are quite a few for sale these days, but most still have instruments with
Cyrillic numerals and letters.
