NARRATIVE 

The L-29 Delphin was Chosen as the standard trainer for all Iron Curtain air forces during the 1960s. Once qualified in the L-29, pilots would progress into the MiG-15 and MiG-21. Manufactured by the Aero Vodochody National Corporation in Czechoslovakia between 1961 and 1964, about 3,600 were built, most going to the Soviet Union. The Collection's airworthy Delphin is one of several brought to the United States from Indonesia in 1988.
