Take control of the L-39 Albatros yourself!
Aerobatic flying looks beautiful and interesting at air shows, but in real aerial combat, it has a lifesaving purpose: military pilots of all world air forces train in maneuvers such as loops, rolls, Immelmann, Split-S, inverted flight, and more, so that they are familiar with the aircraft's capabilities in real aerial combat. Xsport customers can experience this stunning military aerobatic ride themselves in the cockpit - extreme G-forces set the load limits, which are determined for your and the pilot's safety, not the aircraft's.
The Aero L-39 is very forgiving for beginners, and the instructor with a higher rear cockpit, which we use as a passenger seat, has a very good view of the flight and surroundings. Like all training aircraft, it also has complete dual controls, so you can control the aircraft during part of the flight.
If you want to take matters into your own hands, Xsport is the right way to make your dreams come true. After proper training and flight introduction, you will be able to take control of the L 39 stick yourself and even perform some aerobatics. And all this with a real military aircraft - at breathtaking speed!
Custom Flight Program
During all flights, the customer is the focus, so the pilot will always try to find out what you are looking for and how much G you can handle and are willing to withstand. The flight program is then tailored to your needs and adjusted during the flight. You will not only see the fantastic landscape with great diversity but also experience many aerobatic maneuvers.
Including preparations, briefing/discussing your personal flight program, safety, and cockpit training - plan about 3-4 hours total time on site. It usually ends with a relaxed drink with the pilot.
Your L-39 Flight Day
Upon arrival at the airfield, you will meet your pilot. After the introduction, you will go to the briefing room, where you will have time to talk to the pilot about the details of the aircraft and the flight program. Together, you can determine what the program should look like - whether it is a calm "panoramic flight" or an action-packed air combat program: the pilot will accommodate your wishes as much as possible. This is followed by a comprehensive explanation of the safety systems in the cockpit, after which you will receive a flight suit and helmet. We then head to the runway, where the technicians are already preparing the aircraft for takeoff. Once you are seated in the cockpit, the ground crew will further check and tighten your straps. The pilot will once again explain the operation of the safety systems and the most important instruments in the cockpit. After testing the "Intracom" system, we wait for takeoff clearance and take off. In the air, you will have the opportunity to control the aircraft yourself and perform maneuvers such as loops and rolls.
The program also includes the following maneuvers:
- Rolls
- Immelmann
- Loops
- Split-S
- Climbing

After landing, you will have the opportunity for souvenir photos with your pilot in and in front of the aircraft.
