EDIT: Correction on post #808 my bad I thought they were L-59s but they're actually L-39s. Few more pics.
Anyone know if they actually ended up in Egypt and used as trainers, or did they end up cancelling the deal for all 30-something aircraft? Because IIRC, there was a major problem with the aircraft and the EAF wanted either repairs or parts replaced or overhauls something serious but I'm not familiar with the whole story. All I know is it was a major problem that created a lot of bad blood and that one busted up airplane was just one of several accidents that had a lot to do with that problem. Anyone knows the story pls do share.
