It may have Aeroflot titles, but supported a pair of Su-27s and was also reported at Legnica, the Soviet transport base in Poland.

Used for ejection seat trials from 1982 to 1992 when it reverted to its original registration 0816.

Ex Czechoslovakia Air Force 0816. Now used for ejection seat trials.The mannikin in the rear seat would be ejected in a demo flight later that day.

First flying prototype (X-01 was a static aircraft) of the L-39MS

On the breakup of Czechoslovakia in January 1993 this aircraft was transferred to the Slovak air force together with all other MiG-29s.

From the transport unit at Legnica, Poland

Even though there is no ID visible, it is thought that this is the third prototype of the L-410. There were four prototypes, two of which are in Kunovice, one was used for structural testing possibly to breaking point and the fourth is in Kbely.

Undoubtedly one of the highlights of my enthusiast career was a flight on this fabulous beast out of Krakow, including a beat-up and overshoot of runway 25 which I videoed from the glass nose cone. Originally '51' with the Polish AF in 1966 (although SP-LZB also carried), partial LOT colours through the 70s, seen at LHR 12.77 full c/s and reg to Air Sofia as LZ-SFS 2.95. Leased to Sri Lankan and damaged in cross-fire at CMB 7.01. To Dynami 1.07, ATMA UN-11014 5.07 and United Int'l YU-UID 9.07; stored at Fujirah as EX-155 from 2010
