 Gobbles goes vertical in the L-39 There are simply not enough words to describe the fun I had with this flight. This is a charity I'm getting involved with called Warrior Aviation. They provide vocational training and job placement for wounded veterans. If you are interested in supporting them you can donate at Warrior Aviation, Warrior Flight Team This is a compilation I put together using 2 GoPros. The handycam you see in the vid has "drop protection" so it kept turning itself off.  I'm at the controls from 2:47 - 3:47 in the vid.

| Sweet! That looks like a whole lot of fun. Seems like a great charity too. Every time I see videos like this I want to run out and start getting into aviation. Flying just looks like an absolute blast.

| I was sharing your aggravation at all the times the flight was postponed. Glad you finally made it up. Looks like a great day, and it really looks like you had a blast! Thanks for getting the video together for us. Post up some of the pics too.

| That's awesome, Tim! How many G's will the L39 pull? I pulled 6 G's in a Marchetti SF-260 and nearly blacked out. I would love to get in performance jet someday... Thanks for posting the vid!
