Elon Musk L-39 Albatros N97NL

Elon Musk Walter Isaacson


Quoting:

Joining the Mafia 

112 

his McLaren Fl wasn’t fast enough, and he didn’t want to 

buy a group of islands, so he decided to buy a black Aero 

L-39 Albatros. The Albatros was an aircraft that was used 

to train fighter pilots in eastern Europe during the Cold 

War. With an airframe from former Czechoslovakia, a jet 

engine from Ukraine, and avionics from Russia, it was a 

true product of the Soviet Union. 113 


Elon used the Albatros for fun to chase other planes in 

the Nevada desert. “Literally, it was just like in Top Gun,” he 

said. “You’re no more than a couple of hundred feet above 

the ground, following the contour of the mountains. We 

came up to a mountain, did a vertical climb up the side of it, 

inverted. Turned upside down. Yeah, that was fun. It’s like 

a roller coaster. Only you go much farther up and down. 

But your butt hurts if you fly in it for more than an hour. 

The seats are really hard.” 114

Russians 


Elon and his former housemate Adeo Ressi went on a trip 

to Long Island, just outside of New York ...

@AERO_Vodochody
 pracuje téměř 40 let. Jak vznikalo “NGčko”? Proč obdivuje práci Elona Muska a týmu ve SpaceX? Kdy na bojišti nahradí drony letadla? A proč v civilním letectví sledujeme pouze evoluci?
