Let L-410 Turbolet Gallery

Post by upnorth » Wed Nov 04, 2015 12:55 pm

Hello all,

I thought we should start a section on this turboprop as it is quite widespread in service and has been dressed up in many colours. As I live not far from Kunovice, Czech Republic, where Let is headquartered; I'll start us off right at the cradle:

This is one of the XL-410 prototypes, seen preserved in the Kunovice Air museum

An early production standard L-410A also at the Kunovice museum

This is OK-DZA of the Kunovice base Slovacky Aeroklub. OK-DZA is the oldest L-410 still flying in Europe and quite possibly the oldest still flying in the world

This L-410 is operated by CLV in Pardubice, Czech Republic. CLV is the air training arm of LOM Praha and is essentially a civilian contractor that provides flight training to pilots of the Czech air force as well as other clients:

Moscow Myachkovo, 14/8/01
KVS Air Club, FLARF-01192 (not sure that this is the correct reg), Let L-410, fast taxies to the runway with another load of victims, sorry passengers, on a sight seeing trip of Moscow. My most terrifying flight every, the smell of fuel was so strong that evening the thought of smoking was ill advised.

I've not seen that many L410s, but caught this one on a trip to Poland last year. If anyone can provide an id, it would be much appreciated.
