The Czech manufacturer announced on 10 February that the final delivery to the Central Asian republic had taken place three days previously.
„The Uzbek Air Force took over the last of the six L-39 Albatros aircraft, which underwent general overhaul in Aero Vodochody. Part of the overhaul of Uzbek aircraft is also a partial modernisation of their onboard equipment,” the Prague-based company said.
