Being Czech myself, I really appreciate the effort you made to correctly pronounce names in various Slavic languages. And I appreciate the choice of the subject too :-)

Excellent choice for this video. I do hope you'll follow up with the L-39 as well.

The audio is fine! 🤗

We all appreciate that you are a real person and not an impersonal artificial “intelligence”.  👍🏻

Training is like logistics, not sexy but makes winning so much easier. Thank you for this video.

I applied to be a military pilot in the late 1970s. In my first year of training, we flew Dolphins. It was a very easy plane to handle. It almost flew by itself. It was easy to land, it was not prone to bouncing. It was loud. Like all other military jets of the era. Its engine was extremely economical. The engineers of the Czechoslovak Motolet designed it based on the Rolls Royce Derwen, but they did a much better job. It spun very easily, it was not prone to pomp. It did not stall even when flying at high angles of attack.
In my second year, I started retraining to the MIG-15UTI. Before the first takeoff, the training commander said: whoever lands the plane without bouncing the first time will get a case of champagne. We were thirsty. Compared to the Dolphin, the UTI was a capricious, unpredictable, evil beast. After the half-year exam, it was decided that four of us would be trained on the Su-22. We were sent on a preliminary study trip to the Bydgoszcz training center in Poland for a month. During the preliminary training there, we were able to fly the TS11 Iskra with an instructor. It is indeed more difficult to handle than the Delfin. But it was also a "buggy" compared to the 15UTI.
Unfortunately, I caught a viral infection there, which caused myocarditis. This ended my pilot career.

Family member used to service both L-29 and L-39. Thanks a lot for this video. Also great pronounciation of Czech names, Rex! 😍

THANK YOU for not distorting those old 4:3 films and videos. When I see aviation channels expand those to widescreen, it tells me they don’t care about accurate depictions of the subject matter, and/or they don’t respect their audience. Good job!

The 1st useful aircraft video on the channel being Czech makes me really proud of our engineering

The audio is fine Rex, this format is just as good. Keep it up

Delfín mentioned! 🇨🇿🇸🇰

I am Czech, I have been working in the VZLU for a long time, I know the story of the development even from colleagues who are now retired. Thank you for a very nice, accurate and truthful video, which really pleasantly surprised me on a foreign language channel!

Thanks for keeping the Czech version of the name. Shows respect to our kinda overlooked industry and we much appreciat it

Audio is great.

Yes please, more Eastern Bloc aircraft.

Thanks for covering something unglamourous but essential.

The CT-114 Tutor is a T-tail jet trainer from a similar era.

CT-114 Tutors, Canada's primary military jet trainer from 1960 to 2000 and still in service with the Snowbirds Air Demonstration Team and the RCAF's Aerospace Engineering Test Establishment, has a T-Tail.

The R variant really exists. We have one in the Letecké muzeum v Kunovicích (Aviation Museum Kunovice). We also have the Akrobat variant you have pictures of. If you ever happen to visit the Czech Republic, we would be glad to have you.

Personaly, I love this plane. My grandad built some of them. So thank you for this video.
