t_hedlund Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 That is a great article, I can't remember how many times I have read it. Plus the author is a awesome pilot/writer! If you click on link below and select the September 2013 issue, there is an article that I wrote about a L-39's journey to return to the wild blue. That opportunity gave me a greater appreciation of that jet, plus it is a blast to ride in. http://magazine.airshowstuff.com/issues.html 1 www.tomhedlund.com Modules: A-10C, A-10CII.

JG14_Smil Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Another great story, thanks so much for it. My ADHD hyper focus has latched onto the '39 and it is all I fly now. I imagine my cyber-self in Manfred's position (from the story here). I am very lucky to have such a fun simulator and fly whenever I like. Interesting locations in the story. I bought my dog in Winnebago, right near there and I've been to Byron. Edited January 16, 2017 by JG14_Smil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t_hedlund Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Glad that you liked my article, I had a blast watch this jet come back to life. Buck was my primary source technical information for the article, but I also visited https://classicjets.org/ for some information. If you are interested in purchasing real L-39 check out http://www.code1aviation.com/, they always some sweet jets for sale. Small world, when we did the A2A photos for the article we were operating to the west of Rockford in the Byron area, we actually did some pylon turns close to the nuke plant. www.tomhedlund.com Modules: A-10C, A-10CII.
