forces. In hard turns the G onset is rapid
and sustained, and the airplane barely
decelerates at all. The stick pull force is
moderate at first but gets lighter as G forces
increase. At 4.5 Gs, the stick seems to want
to move back into my lap on its own.
After a series of horizontal maneuvers-aileron
rolls, point rolls, barrel
rolls-we move on to over-the-top figures.

and the airplane keeps its energy. Our
main concern is inadvertently exceeding
18,000 feet and entering Class A
airspace without an IFR clearance. It's
a vigorous workout.
Descending into Sarasota, Hayes
asks for and gets an overhead approach
and initiates it over Runway 32 at 200
KIAS. It starts at 70 percent power and
200 KIAS in level flight followed by a
hard 180-degree turn to the downwind.
Deploying the belly-mounted speed
After many years
of museum-quality
restorations on WWII-era
piston aircraft, the stage
has been set for these
mostly Eastern Bloc jets
to get new leases on life.
brakes slows the airplane to 180 KIAS,
and lowering the landing gear reduces
airspeed at 160 KIAS. Approach flaps
slow the airplane to 145 KIAS, and
Hayes starts a 180-degree descending
turn to final and adds landing flaps. He
adjusts pitch and power with a target
of 120 knots on a one-mile final. The
engine is set to about 70 percent N1
as
he follows the PAPI lights and then
pulls the power lever to idle over the
runway threshold.
We touch down on the fixeddistance
marker at about 90 knots and
the trailing-link landing gear makes it a
soft return. Once the nosewheel touches
down, a weight-on-wheels sensor makes
the hand brake effective again, and light
braking allows us to exit at a mid-field
turnoff on the 9,500-foot runway.
A modern warbird
After years of museum-quality
restorations on World War II-era piston
aircraft, the stage has been set for these
mostly Eastern Bloc jets to get new leases
on life. They've always had impressive
performance. Now, modern engines,
digital avionics, and detail-oriented
Western craftsmanship are making them
highly reliable and maintainable.
N395MK was one of the first L-39s to
get such a painstaking reinvention. It won't
be the last. dave.hirschman@aopa.org
