Photo Comment

This former Ukrainian Air Force L-39C (active in Ukraine since 1984, first with the Soviet AF), like many others, was sold to a private owner in the USA in 2006. It received the awesome "black bunny" colourscheme that VX-4 and VX-9 applied to some of their Phantoms and Tomcats since 1969 (the colourscheme officially is called "Vandy One"). Instead of the BuNo, this L-39C has its c/n. Splendid!
