We are getting a new jet fighter

Monday, May 23rd, 2011
We are very excited to announce that we are currently in the process of acquiring a new jet fighter – L39 Albatros – to be stationed in Bordeaux. This is exciting as this will allow us to do more jet fighter rides, but also to have more fun flying in formation. The purchase will take a bit of time, as it usually does when buying a plane – this is not a can of beans – and we expect the delivery of the plane towards September. Then the jet fighter will go under testing to ensure full secuRead More....

L39 Albatros: a short history

Friday, April 22nd, 2011
The Aero L-39 Albatros is a high-performance jet trainer aircraft developed in Czechoslovakia to meet requirements for a "C-39" (C for cvičný – trainer) during the 1960s to replace the L-29 Delfín. It was the first of the second-generation jet trainers, and the first turbofan-powered trainer produced, and was later updated as the L-59 Super Albatros and as the L-139 (prototype L-39 with engine Garrett TFE731). The design is still produced in an evolved state as the L-159 ALCA, while more thRead More....

No more L39 Albatros rides in Switzerland

Wednesday, January 19th, 2011
We are stopping flights on the L39 Albatros in Switzerland. This is sad news but unfortunately our partner in Sion was unable to continue for lack of a plane, which is a major point. We tried to shift our plane based in Pontoise and fly it to Switzerland for a while but in the end it did not work out and we have to stop the L39 albatros jet fighter ride from the Swiss Alps. We may resume in the future when we will find a serious and committed partner sharing our values and deliver great service Read More....

Saturday, November 13th, 2010
Live n’ deadly TV Presenter Steve Backshall is doing a bit on the Peregrine Falcon.
