Description
This outstanding -ZA model came originally from the Romanian Air Force. It has had all weapons and obsolete electronics removed to lighten the airframe and improve its flying performance. The relatively rare -ZA model, designed for light attack (as opposed to pure training) roles, has a beefed-up main spar, more robust landing gear and underwing pylons which permit safe mounting of extra fuel tanks for improved range of up to about 750 NM (compared to about 450 NM for the more commonly available "C" model).
IRAN and engine hot section inspections were done by Aerostar (Romania) in 2003. The IRAN inspection logbook entry states that as of the completion of the IRAN inspection the aircraft was to be considered "zero-timed". Cumulative total Hobbs time since the IRAN inspection has been 220 hours (as of the end of April 2007). Cosmetic restoration was done by Worldwide Warbirds in 2004.
Engine is on a 4000-hour "on-condition" TBO maintenance program approved by the FAA, with no life-cycle-limited engine components listed (note: this is a big plus - most L-39's are on 1000-hour TBO engine maintenance programs). Current TTAF is 1490 hours; total engine time is 1200 hrs SNEW and 695 hrs SMOH. The APU has ~ 2000 cycles on it (and 3000 cycles TBO). Most recent 50-hour/annual inspection was completed by World Wide Warbirds in February 2007; All logs and other documentation are complete and up-to-date. There is no damage history.
In addition to being fully aerobatic, the L-39 is a quiet Stage III turbofan aircraft which can be flown into airports with the most stringent noise restrictions. It is pressurized and air-conditioned. It will draw a crowd of admirers wherever you land it. This is a fully-restored, no-excuses, squawk-free aircraft. This aircraft has always been hangared. It and its related maintenance logs and FAA-approved Maintenance Plan can be inspected by appointment at Worldwide Warbirds at Chino Airport (KCNO) in Chino CA.
Note: Full training and maintenance services for L-39 aircraft are available from Worldwide Warbirds in Chino, CA, as well as other shops around the country. Aero Vodochody L-39ZA. Full restored aircraft with all possible upgrades. PRICE FURTHER REDUCED TO $325,000.
