The Aero L-39 "Albatro" might be one of the most popular advanced trainer/light ground attack aircraft in the world. More than 2800 L-39s have served with over 30 air forces around the world for more than 40 years. The Albatro took its first flight on November 4, 1969.
The L-39ZA/ZO/M are all based on the L-39C. The type M is the upgraded version of the L-39C, which was put out by Ukrainian. The aircraft changed the engine to the Al-25TLSh. The L-39ZO is the developed version of the L-39C for weapon training missions; they have one pair more pylons under the wing. The L-39ZA is the trainer/light ground attack aircraft of the Albator, employing sturdier landing gear, a higher payload (total of 1,290 kg) and notably provision for a GSh-23L 23mm twin-barreled cannon attached in a conformal pod under the pilots' compartment, having a 150 round within the airframe.
