I just want to bring to attention small detail about this plane. From module description on web:

 

Its development started in the middle 60s of the last century by the Czech “Aero Vodochody”.

 

In the middle 60s of the last century there was no Czech company. There was only Czechoslovak.

 

Maybe also list of available countries should be updated. :smartass:

Although you are factually correct, all items made in Czechoslovakia have always been referred to as "Czech" in English.

 

For example, my personal weapon in the army was an LMG, which was a converted Bren gun (yes, it had "1942" stamped on it!) - which was referred to as a British/Czech produced weapon - built in Britain, designed in Czechoslovakia iirc).

 

Pilots from the country that fought for the RAF in WWII are referred to as czechs - regardless which part of Czechoslovakia they came from.

 

Czech is short for Czechoslovakia in these cases - not an indication of current nationality.
