I know there are well over 130+ of these jets flying in the US, so the frequency of accidents that include them will be higher than with rarer types. That said, is there a particular charactersitic of the L-39 that makes it particularly dangerous in certain areas of the flight envelope? We've lost more than a couple well know warbird pilots/owners in these otherwise seemingly "tame" trainer jets.
