Five training aircraft for future F-16 pilots

Its great advantage is reliability and stability, which ensures safe beginnings for new pilots. The aircraft was designed as a simple all-metal construction with sufficient performance matching the standards of this category, with low maintenance costs and simple, pleasant flight handling. The machine is equipped with a proven ROTAX 912 ULs engine, providing adequate power in its category.

The campaign price includes purchase, transport, and basic instructor training.

On the ALTO NG, future pilots will strengthen and expand their basic skills. Once they master it, their instructors will decide where they go next – whether to helicopters, transport aircraft, or to the elite who take the controls of a fighter jet. In Ukraine, that could mean the Sukhoi, Mirage, or F-16. And in the future, perhaps even the Gripen.

By the way, the Czech Republic is part of the so-called Air Coalition, and training of Ukrainian pilots is already partly taking place here.

One ALTO NG aircraft costs just under €185,000. The price includes delivery of the aircraft, training of pilots, and training of support personnel.

The fundraising campaign for five ALTO NG aircraft is a campaign for war and for peace. Ukraine will need military pilots even when there is a ceasefire or a “sustainable” peace. Because Russia will never give up its dream of a “march on Kyiv in three days.”
