Poland may buy up to 60 L-159 light combat aircraft from the Czech plane manufacturer Aero Vodochody, company spokesman Vitezslav Kulich told AFP Wednesday. "We are in discussions about selling between two and 60 L-159s to Poland but the discussions are at an early stage and nothing will be agreed for some time," Kulich said.
Poland is leading efforts to establish a joint training base for air force pilots from the Visegrad Four countries - the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia as well as Poland. All four joined the European Union on May 1.
The countries' defence ministers aproved the plan at a meeting last month.
According to Czech Radio, the planes would be purchased to equip the training base.
But Kulich said he could not confirm that.
"The joint training centre is a matter for the Poles that we cannot comment on," he added.

Its cool in its own sort of retro way.
Hmm, is that a fighter/attack derivative of the L-39?

Yes, but it would be also good idea for Germany.
