The Czechoslovak L-39 Albatros jet aircraft was a standard training machine of the Warsaw Pact and was also exported to many developing countries of the third world. When the Soviet Union and the Eastern Block had collapsed, the plane went on being used and it continues doing so until these days, interestingly also in new NATO member countries. The avionics of the machines used in the Czech Republic and Slovakia was modernised and those machines are known as the L-39CN.
