Hope to hear all is well. I immediately came to think that most civilian L-39 have cold ejection seats due to added complexity/cost of maintenance, no idea about this one though.
Aircraft involved must be NX139RT. L-39 in the US requires an AEA (similar to type rating) requiring minimum 1000h pic. Pilot has 10 years display experience, holds an atpl, and also pilots his company business jet, as well as a number of other aircraft.
Edit: The plane went down in a heavily wooded area that was difficult for emergency crews to access, authorities told CBS News
