Gdzie indziej - w Alabamie - L-39 dopuszczony i dosyć popularny w USA jako
Experimental wleciał w ptaki.
CNN kręciła o nim program. "Experimental" wymaga m.in. odłączenia fotela.
Oczywiście nikt normalny tego nie robi. Niestety mimo wystrzelenia się 53
letni pilot z ponad 10 tys. godzin - zmarł.

Experimental Jet Crashes in Alabama
Tue Jul 1,12:02 AM ET U.S. National - AP
GADSDEN, Ala. - An experimental jet crashed Monday upon takeoff. The pilot,
who had just finished filming a segment about the aircraft for CNN, was
killed.
Police said the L-39 Albatross crashed when it hit a flock of birds shortly
after taking off from Gadsden Municipal Airport. The plane landed at the end
of the runway and burned completely.
The pilot, Elmo Hahn, 53, had flown an L-39 for 15 years, logging 10,000
flight hours, said R.H. Beavers of International Jets Inc. The company,
which restores and sells old military aircraft, specializes in the Czech-
made L-39.
When the crash happened, the CNN crew was interviewing Beavers about the
experimental craft.
Richard Cline, a mechanic for the company, said he heard the engine sputter
and watched as the plane banked out of control and Hahn ejected.
Hahn's parachute deployed, but he hit the ground quickly and had stopped
breathing by the time emergency personnel arrived.
A version of the two-seat jet trainer is still used by the Russian Air
Force.
