My first flight in the L39 fighter jet. I had the opportunity to fly in this rare GA aircraft last week. And it was a blast to say the least.
First I need to thank the pilot and owner who took me up in his L39. Raf is a great guy and he collects these airplanes for a great cause at forgottenheroesfoundation.com/
The L39 is a rare type of aircraft and these planes were once active for military used. They were primarily used as trainer aircraft for fighter jet pilots. In some parts of the world, they are still very active and used in light combat missions.
On my flight today, we took off from Hampton roads airport and went to about 11,000 ft. There I got some stick time and we practiced some amazing aileron rolls. The L39 flies like a charm and this jet is so nimble that it goes immediately wherever you put. Very neat and predictable in it’s flying characteristics. capable of tight steep turns and easily cruise at 400 mph at altitude. The model we’re flying today has been well restored and fully upgraded with Garmin glass avionics.
Here are some of the specs of the L39
engine - AL-25TL 3,790 pounds of thrust
speed - up to 466 mph
range - 300 - 400 miles
rate of climb - 4,100 fpm
service ceiling - 36,000 ft
Price - $200,000

Thanks for posting videos on the L-39! I'm not a pilot, but I've seen these sporty little jets perform in air shows, seen what they can do, and walked around one. I love their lines, so graceful at any angle!
Who was the pilot/owner and where is he located? My stepdad was a Tuskegee airman and pilot for Ray Charles back when, nice to see you and your accomplishments. Great role model, blessings for continued success!!!
My family friend had one when I was 14 and took me for an aerobatic ride. It was to this day the most fun I’ve ever had in an airplane. It’s also what drove me to get my pilots license at 16
Awesome man! I've been watching your videos for some time now and I'm happy to see you get great opportunities like this one. Congrats man, Blue Angels flight next!
Miiiiiiiiike! That was effing Awesome! I’m definitely jealous..😂. Thanks for the ride. Love your videos ..keep em coming!!!!
Super jealous. Two of these live at my local KLVN.
So jealous. Thanks for sharing this, Mike.
Two fantastic gentleman and jet fighter pilots here! Now that's some real fun!
Hey Mojo. You look like space gangster in that red helmet 😂

I subscribed to this channel for the Yamaha Stryker, but as a pilot myself I’m glad I stayed subscribed!
YEAH !! Actual flight footage !! THANKS MAN, great vid !
I haven't watched the video yet but I've already given a thumbs up because the first 30 seconds has made me smile and I know I'll love it. Now on with the show.
Dang! What a great experience and an awesome video. Thanks Mike!
Your videos are great! You get in all the excitement and just the right amount of time. Not too long or boring.
Dude, you have a huge smile! That’s awesome.
I got to fly an Extra 330 a few years ago. It is one of the most acrobatic prop planes in the world! I did rolls, Loops, and deep dives! It was a blast! I fly RC acrobatic planes, Jets, and Helicopters as a hobby. I’m not an actual pilot, just a hobbyist but what a BLAST!!!!
Wow another great video Mike and much thanks to the Pilot/ owner of this fine plane.

Mike, I'm so glad you had a chance to fly in that awesome fighter jet. I wonder though, what was it like going back to props after that experience?
Your channel just gets better and better
Say Mike, w/o a doubt this was one helluva flight w/you guys, man I was freakin grinning from ear to ear right along w/ya!😄...Thanks man for this post!!! i.e.,very exhilarating!!!
I’m doing a lot of research on this right now. This plane is supposed to land in my hometown tomorrow
You lucky Guy 👌👌👌 Happy for You Mike, well done
Awesome flying man really nice you look so happy good for you I felt like I was on the plane because of the camera set up😃
Nice video. My dad flew the MiG 21, l39 and l29. Was commander 303 flying training school. PS: play some Burna Boy in the back ground :D
That was a fun guy to fly with
well i really hope you get a NEXT time. i grew up watching f-16 play super sonkc games vs mirages back in the late 70's off Venezuela. love flying keep it up great video anyway
Awesome bro! This is so cool man.
Wow that looked fun!
So jealous! I found a f4 phantom for sale and if I had $( have the $$$) I would totally buy one. I would love to own an old fighter jet
So cool Mike! Thanks for bringing this to us 👍🇦🇺
I was at the right place at the right time and 800lb of jet fuel I didn't have a need for long story short I got a ride in one at Chino Airport in SoCal. The experience is a life changer never wanted to fly piston aircraft again. :)
CZ makes some of the best guns, motorcycles and jets! Love the red helmet!

Change that to rich white guys! Maybe even just rich guys, I prefer to leave race out of it. I watched this video cause Mojo is a cool dude and does interesting aviation related stuff and race gas nothing to do with it, so sad that is the first thing to come to your mind. Get out there and do something and show it, I’ll watch it and race won’t even enter my mind! Cheers.
Keep on keeping on brothers!
I don't know Bro, you didn't look too Happy or Excited @1:15, when the pilot was talking to you... from previous videos, this is usually your CHEESIN moment. Hahahaha
I like this. Would love to own one of these someday!
You got to take it up! Nice! No oxygen masks?

Crikey Mojo that was tres kewl mate, ya should have just gone for it and racked the stick over and done a barrel roll and then pulled it up into the a loop:-) He would have grabbed it off ya if you had cocked up. Anyway mate awesome video, great fun and cheers from Oz;-)

Great video bro. Always wanted to fly in a jet
Awesome bro!
Great video!!!!
Not enough likes for this. It's a shame I'm just getting interested in this field at 43.

Shoulda cut that music at 2:57 us Aviation enthusiast want to hear the flight *Had to come back @ 10:00 you really shouldn’t have the music in the back ground at least during the flight it was so distracting and I feel like it took something from the video experience. Hey thanks for continuing to inspire me though and congratulations on 100k subs💪🏾
Enjoyable flight
That is awesome I would like a ride in that!
Where have i been??? I love this channel....
Nice one bro!

That plane it looks very futurist
………. Thanks man, very enjoyable ….! J-3 Cub, Stinson Voyager, Citabria and T-6 Pilot
That was probably a most difficult decision to turn the plane back over to Raf but I understand even thought I'm sure you wanted to play with his toy.
Did you guys fly out of the Gwinnett County Airport? Looks like you was over 316
I envy you. You have way too much fun
Any info on running costs ?
Браво!
You blew it. Should have gotten some stick time.
How much do they charge for a trip in that?
Awesome! Looks like a ton of fun. Now the big question... is the Sling TSi aerobatic? 😁

I remember seeing a couple of these for sale - only a hundred grand or so as I recall. Amazing really. Edit - they were $290k & $650k. Wonder if they sold

One of these days you should do upset recovery and full aerobatic profile. You think 4 G's is something do 8 sustained.
For someone who couldn't hear him you seem to be answering him just fine..
