A Warbird’s Battle with Time
The Aero L-29 Delfín is a Cold War icon a jet trainer that still commands attention wherever it flies. But even legends aren’t immune to time.
After decades of UV exposure, dust, and misguided polishing attempts, this L-29’s canopy had lost its luster. The pilot described it as “flying through fog.” Replacement wasn’t practical and certainly not authentic.
That’s when he reached out to JetGlow Aviation at Wittman Regional Airport (KOSH) — the Midwest’s leader in aircraft detailing and transparency restoration.
The JetGlow Clarity System™ Difference
At JetGlow, canopy restoration isn’t just detailing it’s optical restoration science. Using our proprietary JetGlow Clarity System™, we restore acrylic and polycarbonate surfaces by removing oxidation, UV haze, and micro-scratches while maintaining true optical integrity.
The process begins with a precision inspection under multi-spectrum lighting to map every imperfection. From there, JetGlow technicians use aerospace-approved materials and a multi-stage correction process ending with a flawless, mirror-smooth finish. This L-29 Restoration is going to glow!

A Transformation in Flight and Feel
When the final polish was complete, the results spoke for themselves. The once-cloudy canopy now reflected hangar lights like glass. From the cockpit, the horizon was sharp and undistorted exactly as it should be.
“I didn’t realize how bad it had gotten until I saw the JetGlow finish,” the L-29 pilot said.“It’s like flying a new jet again only better, because it’s mine.”
