- People's Republic of China: The People's Liberation Army Air Force bought 4 Aero L-29 in 1968. We found some photos of an Aero L-29 kept nowadays in the Beijing's Air Museum, however, as we couldn't find pics of the L-29 serving with the PLAAF, the drawing should be considered as speculative.
- Indonesia: The Indonesian Air Force bought some L-29s in the late 1960s to equip their trainer squadrons. They were in active service until the 2000s when they were retired and sent to the Indonesian Air Force Museum where they are being shown nowadays.
- Socialist Republic of Vietnam: It seems that the Vietnam People's Air Force had some L-29s in trainer service after the end of the Vietnam War. They were replaced with the more advanced L-39, and nowadays at least one L-29 is being shown at the Bach Mai Air Force Museum.
- United States: The US Navy got some modernized Aero L-29 during the late 2000s to use them in aggressor squadron maneouvres. They were seen on board the USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD-6) back in the year 2010.
- Argentina (untagged): The Argentinean Experimental Aircraft Association has one L-29.
- Canada (untagged): The International Test Pilots School uses the Aero L-29.
- Norway (untagged): The Norwegian acrobatic team "Russian Warbirds of Norway" use the L-29 (with British civilian registrations).
- New Zealand (untagged): The acrobatic team Soviet Star, based in Christchurch, is equipped with the L-29.
- Slovakia (untagged): The Slovakian company Air Prestige has at least one Aero L-29.
We know there are many more civilian users, but we selected some of them.
