Read in latest Aviation news that 2 more L29's were added to the nz register, bringing total to 4. Are any of these flying?

At least one from New Plymouth is flying, it was pictured by someone on the forum at Tauranga a few weeks ago having travelled up for their rained out air pageant.

You get a new paint job for that it looks 'well weathered'?.

L-29's are not the prettiest of aircraft at the best of times.

A cool paint job doesn't always make a cool aircraft, but I will admit that some of those schemes above do seem to improve the look of the Delphin.

I think most eastern bloc aircraft are cool. How about the AN2? What a neat machine!

The L-29 @ Tauranga is now $79,000 - if the price keeps going down at this rate I could be able to afford it - not sure about running it though

Dead serious FJ. A Russian Beaver with attitude. Ask Mr Google to tell you about them. Although I think the turbine version is not so cool.
