    Got to fly in one if these about 19yrs ago. Guy had one at the local airport I worked at while in high school. He had a twin turbine powered commander also. I detailed his planes for him twice a year. Last time I detailed his L39 for a ride in it. Worth every bit of 14hrs of washing & waxing.... the top gun scene got a good laugh btw lol.

    great work on the video, and I'm looking forward to the series. I'm flying an L-39 next month out of Traverse City, Michigan, and am trying to sort out how to record audio and video. Could you share some details on the cameras used, mounting methods, and how you captured the cockpit audio? I'm especially interested in the external camera. thanks!!

    Thanks... I'll be in Traverse City the weekend before Oshkosh. Lots of details on the cameras & audio.. can you contact me at my email address in the About section of my channel and I'll send you the details or get on the phone with you. The short version is for audio I use a cable that plugs into the plane and the other end is a 1/8" headphone jack that goes into an old iPhone that has a headphone jack, and I use the app Voice Record Pro. GoPro audio is just too unreliable, and if the camera overheats, you lose audio, etc. The external cam is a GoPro Max with a certain mount and a cage, all metal, no plastic.

    Хороший самолёт. Хоть он и создан в 60-х годах прошлого века, во первых его дизайн даже сейчас не выглядит архаичным, а наоборот, очень современный. И во вторых он и сейчас может быть хорошим учебным самолётом. В 80-х у нас в городе были такие в лётном училище. Мы, дети, ходили смотреть на их полёты.

    Don't you have to wear a mask on your helmet for Oxygen? Like other jet Pilots do?

  • @speedbrake

    @speedbrake

    2 жыл бұрын

    Oxygen is required when the cabin pressure is above 12,500 feet for more than 30 minutes, or more than 14,000 feet for any duration. However, the L-39 cabin is pressurized, so for example, at 22,000 feet, the cabin pressure is 12,300 feet. So in the L-39, you usually only need oxygen if you're going to 23,000 feet or higher. Oxygen requirements are covered by the FAA regulations in 14 CFR § 91.211 (for private flights), see www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/14/91.211 For military pilots, especially fighter pilots, there may be other reasons to wear oxygen even at lower altitudes, such as increased performance under high G maneuvers, etc. Maybe a military pilot can answer this part.
