In storage at Skyline Aviation

Became later 2835 with Germany - Air force.

Trucked to Seppe on 12 December 2023.

This L-39ZO was registered as OK-DDR in 2019. The registration and paint scheme are in respect to the fact that the aircraft spent most of its military career in the East German air force.

Just arrived by truck at its new home with Skyline Aviation. A big difference from the glass cockpits that the N(X)139LE and N(X)139LZ have. Trucked to Seppe on 12 December 2023.

Still in Hungarian Air Force colors, but acquired by civil operator Skyline Aviation and arrived by truck the day before. Built in 1978 and also ex. East-German Air Force. Sold to Hungary in the 1990's and operated by the latter until 2009. It had been stored since. Although it is meant as a parts-bird for N(X)139LE and N(X)139LZ, a restoration to flying condition hasn't been ruled out either. From what I understand, it will be checked if this wing can replace the current wing of the N139LE, due to its ability to carry fuel pods under the wings. This would increase endurance and efficiency. Trucked to Seppe on 12 December 2023.
