"The 310 will be too costly, let's look at a damaged jet warbird instead!" Yeah, that makes perfect sense to me.
@@davehoward22 but a hell of a good time.
I'd like to see the mig upgraded and donated to the Ukrainian Air Force it is a war machine made to keep order and American way of life the ukrainians do not succeed this country has no hope what do you think the Russians would think if one of their own war machines come back to haunt them my thought I'd like to see them all go over there
@@jameshawk4646 I have a hunch you have no idea what fighter types the Ukrainian Air Force operates these days. Rest assured, a 1950s vintage warbird is not what they need.
Love how you son follows you along your adventures. So important to show kids that there’s more to life than tv and PlayStation/x box. My daughter has followed my gliding adventures for 16 years since birth. Still loves to go flying.
That's fantastic! Glad you have that experience!
@I'm tired of getting the covid vaccine😷😎 by not giving a shit about it ? Lol hes a Trump supporter not a Biden/Fauci supporter lol
Weldone Dad
Lmao
That's great. My son dislikes anything about what I do. Aviation is my career. Whenever I was away all his mother ever did was complain about me working on all these stupid-ass airplanes while he was little so she took care of his wanting anything to do with his dad's interests or profession.
Hello Jimmy! Until 1971, my father was a mechanic on a MiG-15, here in Hungary. I love these machines.
Clean prop, and turbine! :)
Very cool!
Shame about your election..
Congratulations for your election!
@@Kenriko shame about the demented 🥔
@@Kenriko Shame about YOUR election... :D
When you say the question of "how insane is that?" I always wonder "Jimmy... are you aware of who you are?" Insane is the name of the game! You are, from what I can tell, the only real life aviation channe. Everyone else is showing off usually and not showing us their struggles In real time like you are, they just tell us.... Which is why I watch you more than any other aviation channel.... cheers.
Thanks so much, I really appreciate that.
While I also love watching Jimmies world I also love that we got to watch Mike Patey build a plane starting with scrap airframes and hopefully soon we will get to watch him build a new and improved Draco. I was kind of disappointed that we didnt actually see a running Mig but there is still hope that its going to be moving to Florida.
@@edfrawley4356 gotta love the Draco 👍
Yes, it's like we are with him doing these things and we can really feel what it is to have project like this, not just stories, we are part of that story :) which make that channel, one of the best of all time ... And the personnality of Jimmy is ... like the friend we all want to have :D he's hella funny BUT he's very very intelligent in his ''madness'' :D the fact hes doing all this with his son is also very nice! ... WELL DONE JIMMY you deserve all that popularity +1000 :D
Grandchildren read every comment to me on Jimmys channel but I seldom comment because of a lack of my education. I just want to tell Jimmy that I want to used Mr. Aaron Pattersons comment as my words too. Your an amazing young man Jimmy and I love your channel.
Hi Jimmy! First of all thanks for the awesome content you put up week by week. My flight instructor was an actual pilot and FI on the Mig 15 17 21 series in the Hungarian Airforce. They did their whole training back in time in the USSR, he still has a ton of documentation and training material tucked away in his garage (of course in russian) for the Mig 15 as it was his all time favorite next to the Mig 21 BIS. After he retired he could still keep his pressure suit and helmet which he used on the 21, it was more like a spacesuit then just a regular pressure suit :). He also taken a G-meter as a memorabilia from the 15 and it is still installed in on of our flight schools motor glider :) (SF-21 Falke, look it up for some LOLs :))
very cool!
Yes, but will it fly? Safely.
I wouldn’t be scared of the quality of maintenance done to this airframe, these guys obviously put alot of love and time into it.
but its literally 60ish years old at this point and who knows what kind of hell its been put thru
@Destroy all Soy was thinking same thing.
You Sir, have outdone yourself, yet Again!!! I love the part where the folks talked about this gentleman who bought out the whole darn Bulgarian Airforce... and of course when after reviewing the damage on the wing, you just shrugged it off as NOT Too Bad really !!! And I just knew you were going to say that....
Hats Off To You Jimmy..
Looks like someone painted over the "holy shit, I'm in a spin...ram stick HERE and HOLD it" line on the front instrument panel that was a feature of most Mig-15's I've seen.🤣
Hi Jimmy Nice to see, that one of Czechoslovakian made CS-102 is still "alive". This one was made in Vodochody ( a place nearby my base) . It's a funny, abandoned oldtimer, but younger that my current plane ( L-40 OK-MME ) i fly today :)
Beautiful airplane, Ivan!
It’s a Czech made MiG-15 clone right?
@@bully056 Yep :) Planes were built under license and they were more popular than Soviet originals because of better workshop processing and technical improvements due to higher education and longer experience of workers with high-tech aviation technology. There should be also Czech engine inside : Motorlet/Walter M-05
I have an Aero Vodochody aircraft! An L-29!
You know what, Silas? Your dad is about to loose his mind. And you are going to grow up to be a great video editer 🙂 What a mix. I just love following you guys around. Best regards from a car detailer in Norway.
😂😂 god I pray for Silas
You are living the dream! I love it!! Thank you for sharing part of your life with us.
Great video. Learned a lot about this great fighter. The MIG- 15 & 17 look just menacing. Coming in at that speed is crazy. No goofing off in this aircraft. That cockpit looks to be made for short pilots. Would be a blast to go up in one and better to actually fly it. Very expensive dreams here. Ground crews & equipment for support aren't cheap. 400 gallons per Hr. WOW!
Hey jimmy! I love your content all the way in Britain. I’m currently working towards my ppl, and every time a new video comes out I want to get up and fly! Keep up the great work.
Go for it!
Do you use CB’s in the UK?
I started watching Jimmy about 3 months ago! I've always been obsessed with Aviation but always was just too busy to even think about getting a pilot license. Now I have made the decision to go for it!! I've set plans to start training in Tallahassee next month! Jimmy made me really want to go for it and I wanna just say thank you for being such an inspiration. One more question lol in the beginning of the video Jimmy tells us why he isn't flying himself there and explains why he isn't by showing that map thing with the different color lights on it indicating what the weather is like in that area. What is that "thing" called lol! I want one now just because it's cool as hell lol! Thanks again and thanks for the awesome content!!
As we used to say...not "clear prop", but "kick the tires and light the fires"! I spent some time at the 4477th/6510th Test Evaluation Squadron at Nellis. We had an off base "base" in Tonopah, Nevada (area 52) that had a handful of those things there back in the 70's. They were tanks compared to the 19's and later the Mig 21's & 23's Those were heady times. I never flew the 17 as it was really old technology even back then. The 19 was a lot hotter bird with a top speed of over 900mph. If you buy this thing, buy a fuel truck!! Good luck Jimmy!
Run, Jimmy RUN.. That is a money pit from get go.
There’s an abandoned Grumman Albatross at the San Carlos Apache airport in Globe, AZ. That’d be one heck of a will it run video
ooooohhhhh.... nice!
A potential "flying Winnebago"!! So roomy inside.
You're really taking that bankrupt thing seriously aren't you!
You're absolutely nuts, it's brilliant. Can't wait to see where this goes!
Crossroads, guitar, and a 'teacher' to make you the best... for 'almost' free.. Robert Johnson👍🎯
Just another video about airplanes. Ok. Just kidding. Again another great video from Jimmy’s world with Silas. I can’t wait now to hear another, “Can I get a Clear Prop,” and hear this bad boy fire up. Thanks Jimmy. You are so much fun to watch and I even learn a thing or two.
Don't buy it jimmy, it's probably $2,500 per hour maintenance cost to keep those things flying. Remember they have a whole ground crew to service that jet after 1 hour of flight. Unless you got deep pockets stay away.
Hi Jimmy, I love your shows. Ty for all your work!
Glad you like them!
I love these types of videos, thanks Jimmy!
Outstanding! Can’t wait for part 2….and so on!
It must be fun living in Jimmy's World!! Can't wait to see the next video. Love the sound of a turbine starting up. You should see if Sunoco will sponsor your fuel. You could put a sticker on it like NASCAR. Can I get a clear jet!!
I had several buddies buy MIG 15s from Romania and Moldova they were dirt cheap and in good condition. The price included the diss-assembly and crating of the aircraft, along with all training flights need to learn the airframe. Plus it covered the re-assembly of the aircraft once it arrived in the US. I am waiting to hear what your price is for this airframe. It cost more for import taxes on my buddies aircraft than anything else.
Nice jet and great teaser in the last few seconds! I just love Silas. He's such a lovely lad and a great cameraman!
Glad to hear sun and fun is still around. My dad brothers and I use to go alot and sold aircraft parts etc.
Jimmy seamlessly changing his voice to match the accent of the locals. By golly, dang that's cool. Yeah, ha!
Jimmys "Pusher" has been in touch again! Great news for us viewers!
for real!
Yesssss! This would be so awesome!
Silas’ video skills are amazing. What a fantastic kid.
Love your content!!!! Keep it up. FYI. There is a few planes that have been sitting here at the cape cod gateway airport for years!!
Very cool!
Love it! Going from money burn to money vaporization! The next level.
No kidding 4,000 per hour in fuel alone!!!
Forget save the 310... Now it's gonna be "fly the 15"
Sir, with all respect...You are Bonkers!! I do really enjoy your videos, and your awesome attitude, and obvious love of the airplanes you find. cheers
I seriously want to see this relic in the air again! What a cool piece of history.😁👍
You're going to have to change your catch phrase to "can I have a *clear exhaust* ?" ! or maybe .. "Clear Propsky" ? But you kept us hanging there ;) Good job, can't wait to see where this is going !
I think the 37mm may be covered under a Class III C&R license from the BATF the issue is having it operational. In an aircraft.
@@steve-ph9yg What if it's just a prop (not the prop like in "clear prop !") - makes noise for no particular reason (like running an engine with everything tied down).. You guys make it so complicated !
LOVE IT !!! im following closely. in an F86
Thank you for the video Jimmy.
Good gravey, I wanted to see and can't wait to see/hear it run!!! You left us hanging Jimmy!!! Alright dang it, I'M WAITING ON THE NEXT POST!!!
Won’t be long and Jimmy will be shouting save the A380 , great content 👍😀
Yes it will
We have absolutely zero doubts about that!
Baby steps. Start with an A320.
@@robertborchert932
Why baby steps if he already can run?
We had a pilot/owner bring one to our school airport when I was in UAS school. Without a doubt, it is one of the loudest jets I've ever heard. And it does take a lot of runway to takeoff. I have C-17s fly over my house about 1200 ft because we are in the landing pattern of the airbase. The huge C-17 with its massive four engines is not as loud as that Mig-15 was. I've seen F-15s, F-16s, F-18s, and they were not as loud, now they were in the air at 1500 or so and I know that's not the same as on the ground. The Mig is so small compared to the fighters of today. When I first walked up to it I couldn't believe how small it was.
Surprisingly the U2 spy plane. I worked at NASA Ames and when the U2 would take off for their weather missions the windows on the buildings would rattle.
Apparently, you never had an EA-6B land there. Those are by far the loudest jet aircraft. I worked on them for years at Whidbey Island. An amazing aircraft but OMG so darn loud.
@Destroy all Soy I believe you. I would have loved to have seen an F-14 takeoff in person. The F-14 is one of my favorite planes of all time. I still think our Navy would benefit from an updated F-14 platform like the Super Tomcat that was planned but canceled. Our military likes to throw the baby out with the bath water in my opinion. The same as the A-10 they wanted to get rid of. We spent so much money developing these platforms and with modern updates, the platforms themselves would be able to continue service with less cost per hour. We don't need all of our planes to be stealth planes.
Do it. We had someone up in Minnesota try to get the Crystal airport to extend the runway (at their cost) so it would be long enough for smaller jets. Allegedly he had purchased about 20 Mig 15's in various states of flyability and wanted to cobble them and make 5 flyable "fighter" jets but the powers that be didn't allow it. What a shame.
Your son is an excellent cameraman.
Jimmy's 'Real' World where there's no free planes, free boats and free automobiles... and no script 👍
You know that's right
As soon as I saw the damage I said forget this idea. Move onto a jet that actually flies.
Awesome as always Jimmy can't wait for part 2
Buy a Corvette it will hold its value an not cost as much in the long run, I've maintained MIG15UTI a MiG17F and a MIG 21MF and others, all take more then one person to get it ready to fly and they should know what to expect when starting and flying , 3x to 5x the amount of a Lear jet in fuel cost
Adding a Mig 15 to your collection would be crazy! Also, the big cannon was a 37mm for taking out B-29s.
37 mm. Now where can we get one of those.. bet it's gonna need some work before it's airworthy
@@stevev5510 The gun pack fir the MiG 15 had the 37mm and 2 23mm cannons.
I've spent the last 3 days watching all of your videos. You have made me want to get my pilots license. Thank you
Go for it!
I enjoyed it very much! I would love to become a pilot but I would like to go rotary wing.
+Hoosier pilot
Watch out for Rotor Bumping, and semirigid tail breaks with the training Robinsons.
Same here been shopping for a plane to get started lol
@@hoosierpatriot2280 Helicopters do not fly.......they beat the air into submission 🙂
In the late 80's after A&P certification I did some contract work for Combat Jets (Jim Robinson) , he had an 2, F-86's, Chinese mig 15, a F-104 2 seater & a T-33. It was a blast doing ramp duty during airshow. Note: the FAA frowns on flying a ejection seat plane in civilian airspace. Be easy when you land he had a gear collapse & drug a drop tank but caught it in time & did a goaround cycled gear and landed no problem but screens in the lines were stopped up. Have fun with your new toy!
My kids used to trail along on many of my flying trips, was a great bonding time, so its great to see you taking the young fella on yours. Scrap the C310 and buy this puppy, but you'll need deep deep pockets to keep it flying!
I love this but a vintage mig costs an insane amount of money to keep in the air especially in the US
*Where's he going to get parts for this thing?* These haven't been made in quite awhile now and whatever parts that still exist are probably in some weird places. I'm not saying it's impossible to get this aircraft working again (North Korea still has a few of them in working condition.), just very hard.
@@twistedyogert So many of them were made and used all over the world for a long time (some doing missions up to the 80's) (well past being competitive in todays modern jet fighters) you look on old Russian fighter airports you'll see pics of them all over the place in batches of 10 to 30 at a time both Mig 15 17 19's, it shouldn't be to much of an issue at all to find replacement parts other than costs
Greetings from Germany :) thanks for your content. i shout „clear prop“ everytime i Start my car. :D
That is awesome!
Clear exhaust pipe...lol
There is a guy up a Arlington, WA. that has a Mig like tat. According to friends of mine it is VERY expensive to maintain and fly. BUT it is a barrel of fun also. How cool is that. Good luck. Once again remember, all mechanical contrivances live in one of three states, they are either Breaking, Broken or being repaired.
i wanna see this more than the 310 haha only i love the 310 content still because its funny, but i think this is one of the right moves especially for the channel and every part of the history who knows it might get you in the door for some awesome jets etc. awesome content keep it up
I have a friend who flies a mig 15/17 he owns, interesting how you need a good parts network to keep them flying.
That is so cool , you should so buy it !!! Im sure your wife would be happy if you tell her it’s a present for her 😜 . Lol
hey jimmy when i was 14 my sister lived in west Germany near to the boarder with east Germany and i would go to the fence and watch the lightning jets patrol the boarder the noise was awesome, im 61 now remember it like yesterday. Great your son comes along ..enjoying your world .. cool as ..
A guy I knew kept his MiG-17 at the airport in Danbury CT where I fly out of. Flying magazine did a story on him in the early aughts iirc, and he talked about the cost to run the jet. In a word, horrific.
Good luck with this, dude. That VK-1A turbojet sucks fuel like there's no tomorrow and the cost of maintaining an old jet will make your eyes bleed. Essentially, it'll sit a lot more than it flies even if you do get a type rating to fly it.
Old jets are like that, many older Lears selling for the cost of a fill up
When it comes to investing, nothing pays off more than educating yourself with the right information from the right source. That's how you get rich.
You're right, that's why I invested into assets like cryptocurrency and some stocks
Stocks are good to invest on, but crypto is more profitable
Crypto is the new Gold
I wanted to trade crypto but got discouraged by the fluctuations in price
@@ambitiousadventure1791 You have to get more experience first, work with a professional like Mr Dave Jevans on crypto to guide you step-by-step.
If you thought parts for the 310 were hard to come by, Just wait till you look for parts for this bad boy.
for real!
Just give it some time and I'm sure Putin will be digging around to sell parts for the Mig 15 before he totally bankrupts Russia.
There might be a airplane bone yard in China with hundreds just sitting like the bone yards in the U.S.
OMG what a TEASE!!! Wow so much history here Jimmy, I sure hope you can give this ol' girl a good home, if not just to preserve it.. It'll take QUiTE a bit of work to fly her yourself, there's a LOT to it, and I'm pretty sure the maintenance schedule will be a FULL time job... but wowswers.. what a beauty
Cliff hanger!! Can't wait for the next one!
Enjoy your energy, brother !
Oh god!!!
oh yeah!
Hey Jimmy can u start putting 3 videos out a week .... 2 is not enough .. thanks for all the laughs 😃
Glad you enjoy the videos!
I back up that comment we need more of Jimmy's world :D i cant stop watching like a netflix series you cant stop watching hahaha
@@shanegagnon3423 same .... I am always watching ... I have to do the reruns haha
I love your videos. The planes keep getting sweeter and sweeter. I hope you get this
Hey Jimmy! I've been looking forward to this episode! Yay!!!
Nice! I hope you enjoy it!
Man, I don't know how you got your money, but at least you're doing cool things with it. There's a Mig 17 that might be for sale in Casper, WY at the war bird museum. It's painted all black with a red star. I was told the previous owned had dumped a ton of time and money into it before passing away. It's been sitting for awhile now. I talked to an AP there. He thought that it could be fully airworthy with about 1 mil to finish. I also believe that the engine had been rebuilt, and never installed. It's only money, right?
Up
You can thank Rolls Royce and the UK Government for the engine🙂
YEAH,THE NENE
Thank you Jimmy this was really one fun adventure to watch
GO Jimmy, GO!!! can"t wait for the next video!!
Fun fact - the engine is basically a Rolls-Royce Nene handed to the soviets by our labour government (as long as they didn’t put them in military aircraft) and we now know that they would keep their word. They now owe the uk billions in royalties.
I believe the Russians taught the CCP how to steal.
And invented by the genius Frank Whittle
When we captured a couple of 15's the pilots that were dog fighting them could not wait to fly one so they could find it's weakness, they found that it took a gorilla in a steep dive to the right to hold the stick. That's were it was vulnerable so they would try to get them in a steep dive to the right.
Fabulous Jimmy. Even though I'm not an an aviator I've always wanted to own a Mig.
This is much better video than the Hummer one.

Yeah love you taking your son with you.. I use to take my kids flying... I took my oldest son to Oshkosh in a 206 and stayed all week it brought us closer and got him interested in aviation... Wish I could buy some of the planes that you buy... maybe I could get to come fly with you sometime
You got to have that! Wow what a experience to just ride in.
Well, Jimmy, can not wait until the next installment of this video and the Mig visit. Will be watching.
I would be fooling you if I understood all this. Wow, lot to take in with this airplane. My initial reaction is lot to understand and expensive to operate and initial outlook is the aircraft appears to be in relative good condition.
Time will tell. Step by step on this one. So so so very interesting. Thanks for taking us along. Looking forward to the next video.
Appreciate you looking at this aircraft.
Till next time.
Retired Air Force veteran.
Cant wait for the next episode Jimmy sooo cool!
OMG!, i have been searching for the video where you buy it then i realize how new the video is. I have thought about getting a pilots license, but after watching your videos I will definitely be working towards in in the near future. I love your personality man!
These fellas are encyclopedias of knowledge on this aircraft.
So many technical specs, probably from 30 years ago, just on the tip of the tongue like it happened yesterday.
Nice one James! you got me all excited then the video ended, we wait in anticipation 😁😁😁
So cool! I have never seen a plane like that before. Jimmy
your success is simple. you are doing what we would all love to do , just with added madness
Jimmy, now that's what I call a fire extinguisher! Perfect.
Congrats Jimmy on finding that Fighter Jet. I wouldn't try to buy it. U would go insane looking at the books. lv ur crazy videos.
Great story! I’m like forward to more.
Absolutely love it! It'll be hard to top this
Hey Jimmy! Got out let out early from work and an extra bonus is a dose of Jimmy’s World! Hi from Scotland 🏴
Bonus!!
That looked like Greenwood Leflore Airport. Had some avionics work done once there on my PA30B. They used to strip big iron for scrap. Many big planes made their final landing there.
Very cool Jimmy! I hope you can get it…I’m looking forward to watching the adventure! Oh, did I tell you that this is very cool? Early 50’s MIG-15…doesn’t get much cooler! Yes sir!
Getting it is one thing. Funding the maintenance is another animal all together.
I loved when you showed us the manual rack. Did all those books include the service and parts manuals, or just the operating docs lol
Also, the kid's doing a great job with that camera!
I take back my previous comment, it was not Rick Svetkoff. I’m pretty sure the guy was Mira Slovak. His story is incredible. He escaped Czechoslovakia by high jacking the plane he was flying. Was William Boeing’s personal pilot as well as a hydroplane pilot that Mr. Boeing generously funded. There is a book on his life called “A Race to Freedom” by David D. Williams.
This video is a wonderful example of why I've wanted to move to the US for years instead of living in the UK :D
Can't wait to see it fired up!
What 310...... Should definitely Buy this
Good ole Greenwood ive been there a time or two . Nothing like a MIG 15 to light up your day
