Ejection seat is not a zero zero, but seems like something went terribly wrong, engine failure or such. Eject would probably not work (not survivable) at low altitude.
Is there video?

The airplane is a little under powered, I have watched a guy with an L-39 take off at our airport (3200ft) and it is a long roll.
I was also told, that when you are on short final, you got to land no matter what, the throttle is not very responsive.
DRAKEN in Lakeland Florida is going to modify the L-39 and install the Williams Engine in it, for improved performance.

Hey, a bottle of windex, some WD-40 and a lazy afternoon and that baby will be in the air.

That’s kind of what the owner said, “Aw, we just clean yer up and fill it diesel about once a year.”
