L-39 Albatros Jet Flight

Unique Offer at a Historic Location in Germany

Flown from the former NVA-airbase in Peenemuende that aquired legendary status as a historic aerodrome on the Baltics' shores. The location is not only known as a missile test area, but also is considered the birthplace of modern spaceflight. In Peenemuende the remote controlled bomb Fi103 («V1») and other guided missiles as well as fighter aircraft were tested. It was here that Adolf Hitler had the later NASA engineer Wernher von Braun push forward with the development of ballistic missiles. On 03.10.1942 the A4 («Vergeltungswaffe V2») missile was launched from test site VII to a test flight, subsequently being the first man made craft to reach the stratosphere. This day would go down in the history books as the day human spaceflight was born.

The test site VII is right next to the airfield from where you will take off. After World War II, Peenemuende was used as a Soviet marine and airforce base. In 1961 the base was handed over to the NVA. Even today, many historical relics are still visible. The missile test site or the nearby naval shipyard with the worlds largest diesel-electric submarine, the Soviet Juliett U-461 are open for visitors, for instance. On the former NVA-airbase, i.e. where our flights take place, the Soviet MiG-23 Flogger mach 2 variable swept wing fighter used to take off. L-39 Albatros aircraft were also stationed here. The NVA-airforce had a total of 52 L-39 jets, of which some were used for target flights while towing the KT04 towable target. These flights were carried out by two L-39V (NVA number 170 and 171) as well as two L-39ZO (NVA number 200 and 222). Our L-39 was restored to brand new condition true to the original and licensed in the summer of 2010. This MiGFlug jet flies in the original camouflage paint job of the NVA-airforce and is a real looker.

In December of 2010 the L-39 jet flight in Peenemuende was chosen as the number one adventure gift. We received this honor from the Pro7 reporter Harro Füllgrube. Harro flew a L-39 himself together with our pilot Pavel for an episode of his show for Galileo. was extremely thrilled.

Furthermore, we're happy to announce that the Mitteldeutsche Rundfunk MDR enables one of their spectators a flight in a L-39.
