This is a cover of your favorite classics like the stall, the steep turn, slow flight but in the style of a Russian fighter trainer.

Chris called me and asked if I wanted to fly in his L39. If you have an ere***on lasting more than 4 hours, you should consult a medical professional.
There wasn't time for that. I left a me shaped hole in the wall as I got to Sulphur springs Texas as fast as possible.

I suggested we do all the entry level maneuvers we've grown to know and love but higher, faster, and louder.
Here is the result:

 
LMAO. Yeah, an opportunity like that could get ya a sportin’ wood. Interesting thing about the Russian atitude indicators reading backwards. There used to be one made like that in the US a long time ago. Supposedly the one in the plane that was ‘the day the music died’ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_the_Music_Died
had one of those and the pilot wasn’t aware of the difference

So you're changing the name of the channel from Just Plane Silly to Just Plane Cool? Awesome flight.
 
Been busy, just now got around to watching. That shot from the camera on the wing was awesome. Good job editing too.
 
Sounds like fun! Though I would have said I imagine it is flown largely like a Cessna if you'd asked. I'm sure it can pull a lot of G (unlike a Cessna) however
 
That was great.
