I think it will go to 8. I wanted to pull 6 but he wouldn't do it since we didn't have G suits on. It was my first time ever doing aerobatics so I figured it was best not to push it.

They have another pilot that does their actual air show routines so the next time he is around I may see about going up again for the full monty. He has a routine he calls the "Tomcat demo" that apparently puts the L-39 through its paces.

 

Awesome flight! It kills me that our government destroys the flight worthiness of our aircraft before selling them, and that the only way to purchase a modern U.S. fighter/helicopter is from a foreign country.

 

that's awesome! I'd love to fly something like this one day.

 

Just amazing! What a great cause.

 

good stuff right there...

 

Amazing Vid, thanks for sharing. Love those L-39s amazing birds, thirsty birds but amazing birds none the less.

I was having a crapy day until I was this video. Thanks for boosting my spirits.

 

Gobbles, looks like it was one hell of a day.

Thanks for sharing!

 

Cool video, looks like tons of fun.

Why do they always stop the plane before accelerating for takeoff, cant they just make the turn onto the runway, then blast it?

 

^^^Probably because of timing. They've got to wait to take off until they get the go ahead from the airport traffic controller. Sometimes they do a rolling take off though. I love those! Especially in a 757!
