L-39C N139MD $950,000.00
Somehow, the common superlatives don't seem to do this jet justice. It is, quite simply, one of the best L-39s in the world. We started with a very low time aircraft, still less than 400 hours since new for airframe and engine, and went to work making every piece better than new. Full-glass avionics suites front and rear in perfectly restored cockpits, silky smooth flight controls with new bearings throughout, thoroughly restored landing gear, the list goes on (see below). This jet is truly special, the only thing it needs is a new home. Call Code 1 today to schedule a time to see it for yourself.
