The Aero L-39 Albatros is a Czechoslovak single-engine jet trainer with tandem seating. The L-39C training model and later ZO and ZA configurations form the original family; the substantially updated L-39NG is noted as a later development rather than a duplicate sheet.
Historical origin remains Czechoslovakia rather than being reassigned to a successor country. Performance and loadouts are omitted to avoid mixing C, ZA and NG standards.
