Flying Cold War Jet Fighter

A few years ago, I made one of my childhood dreams come true – flying with a Cold War jet fighter. This particular plane, an Aero L-39 Albatros (N43722) was built in 1977 for Soviet Union and operated by GDR Air Force (NVA) as a trainer aircraft. After Cold War it was shipped to US and restored in Florida.
During the flight we did various aerobatic maneuvers and went up to 4G!
