Advanced aerobatics involving high g-forces
The most experienced pilots
The best price in Europe
A great location in the heart of Europe
We’ll present you with the L-29 Delfin fighter jet at the airport. The pilot will get you familiar with the cockpit and the controls. Then a memorable take-off will push you into your seat and the aerobatics are about to start with the maximum airspeed of 650 km/h! With the huge g-forces and incredible speed, you’ll feel like a real jet fighter pilot for a while. The difficulty level and the flight´s program can be discussed with the pilot and modified based on your desires and physical condition.
The colors of the aircraft copy the ones on original Slovak squadrons – a three-color camouflage consisting of irregular surfaces of sand, dark green and dark brown and the tri-color Slovak coat of arms.
The minimum age requirement for the jet fighter flight is 18. Being in good health is also another important requirement.
The date with optimal weather conditions is arranged with the pilot prior to the flight.
The L-29 is a two-seat aircraft, so this gift can be for just one person. The second person on board is the professional jet fighter pilot. A ground crew will also monitor your flight.
Spectators are allowed (max. 4 people, more is for an additional fee) within a marked area at the airport. They are also permitted to take photos and make videos.
The flight´s duration is 15 minutes.
The total duration of the experience is about 2 hours (including pre-flight briefing with an experienced fighter pilot + the actual flight + after-flight briefing).
The cockpit of the L-29 Delfin is air-conditioned and you will receive all necessary clothing for the flight on the spot.
Flights are possible all year round.
At least 2 weeks in advance.
An English/Russian speaking pilot is also available after prior arrangement.

The Aero L-29 Delfin was the first jet trainer aircraft designed and built in Czechoslovakia. The original prototype had already taken off in 1959 but had been powered by a British engine. The aircraft served in weapons training roles, thus equipped with hardpoints to carry gun pods, bombs or missiles. The total number of manufactured aircrafts was 3600, still an unbeaten record in the jet trainer category. In most countries, the L-29 Delfin was replaced by its successor, the Aero L-39 Albatros.
Presently the L-29 serves in only a few military forces. They utilize it as a fighter aircraft during ground attack missions and also to attack low-flying targets.
Many L-29s had already become the personal property of avid collectors by the early 1990s. Today several privately-owned Delfins are flying around. They often appear on air shows, always waking up great interest among the spectators.
