My flight in a L-39 Albatros from Air Force Base Ysterplaat 

At my Graduation from The Young Falcons Aviation Academy (www.youngfalcon...) , I got treated to a Aerobatic flip in a L-39 (ZS-KIM)
Was the most awesome flight EVER !!! The L-39 is an awesome aircraft to fly ! Its responsive and it is DAMN fast !!!! Cruise at 600 kph !!! (kph because it is a Russian built aircraft) Max Speed 980kph.(It isn't a super sonic aircraft)
We flew out to Robben Island and the pilot let me do some turns to get a feel for the aircraft and then some rolls and loops ... 5000' gained in a loop with an entry speed of around 750 kph
