this is our latest delivery, N810RC. this plane came to the US in late 04 from the czech AF in a batch of 3. it was part of their AF demo team as were the other 2. one of the others is now the fastest L-39C in the world, and the other is up in NY at a museum. anyway, the guy that originally bought this one had his fun with it and has now sold it. the new owners brought it back down to us for a face lift, inside and out. new paint, cockpits refurbed, all new instrument panels, auto pilot, blah blah blah.

here you can see parts of it in the background, this was back in 04 when it was imported here

thanks Rex, tupelov project is slow. it lacks funding so its just a filler project untill its sold.

1st post 3nd picture the screen on the left. Looks like an early Ford navigation radio. The Czech's are screwed if they'er using that. Hope they can afford the updated DVD for it. Ford wants like $200 every 6 months for one.

none of those radios came with the plane, its all steam gauges originally.

thats a garmin 530, about 15k for that box when it was new. the other 2 screens MFD and PFD are a garmin 3x system. the 3rd one in the back is just a repeater.

Maybe I should upgrade my wifes car to the garmin 530. She has the Ford Navigation system. She calls me for directions all the time.
