X-Plane 11.50+ Russian Navy L-39ZA Albatros 1.1.0. The Aero L-39 Albatros is a high-performance jet trainer developed in Czechoslovakia by Aero Vodochody. It was designed during the 1960s as a replacement for the Aero L-29 Delfin as a principal training aircraft. It was the first trainer aircraft to be equipped with a turbofan powerplant. Thanks to Sean McLeod for giving me permission to update Jacques Brault's L39 Albatros. I have always liked this aircraft and Jacques models always fly well, even in X-Plane 11. As Sean had already updated it to fly in X-Plane 11 (aero_l-39za_albatros_xp1105.zip), I have taken it a little further and added a 3D cockpit and included pilots by Beber. I have added a quick key 1, to place you in the rear seat. This version is the Russian Navy model (fictional), complete with tail hook for carrier landings. Hope you have fun with this old freeware model. By Alan Ashforth.
