Are you sure about the fact that this plane is a Super Albatros L39MS (L-59 ) /L159???

On the tail we can read " L39ZA ".

The L-39MS has a redesigned jet exaust for the ZMK DV-2 turbofan engine ( L_39 Ivchenko AI-25-TL ) and a one piece canopy with 2 VS-2 ejector seats ( L-39 VS-1 BRI ).

The L-159 is a single seater.

No, I am not sure it is a L-59 Super Albatros, I am merely going off of what it says on the Air USA website, assuming that they know what equipment they fly. I admitedly know next to nothing about Soviet-era (or any non-US for that matter) equipment.
