Aeo L-39 Albatross
The L-39 Albatross is often referred to as a “warbird” when the term is mentioned. Czechoslovakia-based Aero Vedochody designed and built it for use in flight schools. As the first Second Generation jet trainer to see action, this aircraft made history. It’s easy to see why this is a popular choice for aviation enthusiasts, both civilian and military alike. Investing in it is only worthwhile if you have a large amount of money to spend on it. It has a 40-foot length, 31-foot width, and a 31-foot wingspan Ivchenko Progress AI-25TL high-bypass turbofan engine. In addition to its 3800-pound thrust rating, this fighter jet can travel more than 650 miles on one tank of fuel. This plane can fly for more than two and a half hours on its own fuel, which is a remarkable achievement for this type of aircraft. It is possible to buy one of these high-end vehicles for $150,000 in cash.

Grumman OV-1 Mohawk
This aircraft was designed to replace the Cessna L-19 Bird Dog, which was developed in the 1950s. As an all-weather surveillance and attack plane, the US Army used it in place of the Bird Dog because it was faster and more powerful than its predecessor. The OV-1 Mohawk design by Grumman Aircraft Corporation won a prize! As a result, it stood out from the rest of the world. Northrop Grumman’s Mohawk was the US Army’s first combat-ready turboprop jet. For a variety of military applications, it proved to be a resounding success. Large finned tails and mounted engines made maneuvering in tight spaces possible, even though small ground weapons couldn’t get through the bulletproof glass and aluminum alloy floor. At least one of the models has an upgraded side-facing radar and an interior camera. As a result of this, the ability to scan the ground and provide real-time tracking was made possible. In 1996, the United States Army took it out of service and dismantled it. Aviation enthusiasts are particularly fond of it.
