St. Maarten received an unscheduled visit from an Aero L-39 Albatros on Tuesday night. The pilot had to make a technical stop en route to Brazil. The fighter jet was piloted by a former US Air Force pilot and trainer. The aircraft will be delivered to its new owner in Brazil today, Thursday. This L-39 Albatros is the training version of the fighter jet; the difference is the gun attachment on the fuselage. St. Maarten is a very popular airport to ferry aircraft to and from South America. The crew are usually fascinated with the approach and the availability and options of restaurants and other amenities. Arrindell Aviation by Signature has provided many of these aircraft with first-class service over numerous years thanks to the welcoming employees.
