He Bought a Fighter Jet Instead of a Sports Car - L39 Albatros

We climb inside an L-39 Albatros fighter jet at Wings Over Shellharbour Air Show with Mark Hall from JetFlight. This incredible Czech-built jet trainer is one of the most popular private jet warbirds in the world, with hundreds still flying today — and even Tom Cruise owns one. In this BeSnappy aviation interview, Mark Hall gives us a cockpit tour of the L-39 Albatros, explaining how to climb into the jet, how it starts, what it costs to run, how much fuel it burns, and what it feels like to take passengers on high-G adventure flights. Mark also talks about his airline and warbird flying experience, including the P-51 Mustang, and explains why flying an L-39 is like owning a modern sports car — except a lot more exciting.
