@@thatguyalex2835 Climb rate is NOT high. Neither us the cruise speed, it's pathetic, a Honda Jet cruises faster and climbs faster while carrying 6/8 people at half the fuel burn (if you're willing to do 360 knots). The MIG 15 burns 300 gph but at least you look cool and can cruise faster than an airliner. The PC 21 is a modern equivalent of this trainer but it's propeller driven, so I'm not impressed. Also, I found a starfighter (Mach 2+) for 800k, so don't bullshit me about low purchase price

I've always dreamt of owning/operating a MiG-21 or Starfighter, as I've seen them go for sale in the 100k-ish range over the years. Would be neat to see a video on one of those. Probably the MiG, as every inquiry into Starfighters has been led with something along the lines of, "First of all, it's a death trap."

MiG-21 is a bit of a handful too. It doesn't quite have the "reach this AoA and you WILL die" factor of the 104, but the MiG is still a bit of an adventure to land. Both came from the era of peak difficulty to fly. Now if anyone had an F-106 for sale, I'd gladly commit to being homeless and using the Delta wing for shelter. That thing was supposed to be a real sweetheart.

@@JETZcorp From what I've read, virtually every flyable F-106 got converted into target drones and blown up. The surviving ones are unflyable static displays, spared from becoming drones simply because they had some sort of issue that prevented them from being used. Disappointing to say the least

Having restored and certified 9 of these and and owned one myself for a few years, I found the cost to be not quite so high. I paid around $4 per year for insurance. Liability only ($1M). No hull insurance. It's cheap enough to buy and restore another airframe. I paid $75K for mine. I shared a large hangar with other jets for $800/month. I also saved some $$ on condition inspections ("annuals") because I am also an A&P mechanic. However, the airframe and engine are very durable, so I never spent a lot on replacement parts. In addition, since the aircraft is in the Experimental category, you can manufacture replacement parts, as long as the A&P says that it's airworthy. Yes, fuel is the biggest operating cost, but you can fly it with a lower power setting on cross-country flights to save fuel. The biggest burn is when you're out doing aerobatics. I flew fighters in the USAF, but the l-39 is, indeed, a fun and easy jet to fly and will always rate a 10 at whatever airport it lands. BTW, not to be picky, but the moniker should be "jet fighter", not fighter jet. Would you say a P-51 is a fighter prop? Somehow, over the years, the terms got turned around.

@svenstock2963

You obviously seem to know a few things about this. But I'm surprised by the fighter jet/jet fighter part. People call jet aircraft "Jets". They don't call prop planes Props. So we have "passenger jets", "Cargo Jets", "private jets".. would fighter jet just be the same as those?

Some people regard "jet"as a type of engine, and others see "jet" as a type of airplane. Also, some people think of "fighter" as a thing, and others think of "fighter" as a description. I can see how the order of terms would easily get switched around, and yet everybody would still be correct depending on which definitions they're using. And on top of that, the moment someone doesn't speak English, the rule of putting your description before the object you're describing goes out the window. In French, for example you say the thing first and then the description. I figure, since these jet fighters and fighter jets are completely international, there will always be uncertainty about the order of those two words.

Got to fly an L39 in Santa Fe, was the coolest thing I’ve ever done. Can definitely agree it’s actually wicked easy to fly if you have any sort of jet time. Gotta say trailing link gear lives up to the hype.

Could be a fuzzy memory but I recall Bob Lutz was the hero and zero in one week. A student pilot was having engine trouble and Lutz talked him down to a landing at the Chrysler Proving Grounds. Later in the week, he forgot to lower the landing hear on his L-39 for a landing at Willow Run Airport. From what I recall, the rugged Albatross was lifted, had it landing gear lowered, and put through an inspection. The damage was mostly cosmetic and the L-39 soldiered on.
