Guy flew F8's - doesn't surprise me a bit. Fleet seems naked without the 8, 14 and 6.

Guy flys a MiG Master then goes out & buys a Yak is a bit of a surprise.  He obviously has a sense of humor, so I'd have guessed he owned a MiG-21 (seeing how you can buy them on e-bay these days, for about what you would pay for a piston Jak, of course the cost of owning & operating the MiG jet is much higher)

The actual owner of the Yak was flying an L-39 that day. One would presume he owned that too but it doesn't specify.

Care and feeding of an L-39 is much more reasonable than a MiG-21 and, within the current boundaries of US civil aviation, probably just as much fun.

By then, however, the owner of the plane and fellow pilot, Art Nalls Jr., 51, was able to come alongside, flying an L-39 Albatross, a vintage Czechoslovakian fighter jet.

not to mention you can fly the L-39 for longer than 5 minutes without turning into an expensive glider.
