I went to the Soviet Union for two weeks (Moscow, Kyiv, & Leningrad, now St. Petersburg) as a college student in June/July 1976 (spent the Bicentennial in Moscow, lol.) I've flown a lot in my life, but the most terrifying flight I was ever on was the flight from Moscow to Kyiv on Aeroflot. The pilot must've had a flashback to when he was in the Red Army flying against the Luftwaffe because I've never had such a steep, fast landing. A guy sitting next to me remarked, in very broken English, "I hope there's an airport down there..." Luckily, there was. Utterly terrifying. It's the only time I ever considered kissing the ground after landing. Good times.
We use these aircrafts for our glorious Air Koryo. We believe not keeping up with the trend is the way. That’s why we don’t use newer aircraft. We’re the best airline
Hi Sam Regarding the magnificent Tu-134. I live in Eastern Australia and had the enormous privilidge of visiting Moscow and Leningrad/St Petersburg in the winter, in 1992 in the months after the fall of the Soviet Union. Temperatures were -35C and the airports I landed in were populated by large numbers of Aeroflot passenger aircraft in rows painted in white and blue and which I vieiwed contrasted against white winter snow. I had just flown from Singapore to Moscow via Dehli and the UAE in one wide bodied Aeroflot Il-86 when I first saw these sights. I boarded a very cool looking white and blue Aeroflot Tu-134 lfor a flight from Moscow to London late one morning on a tarmc contrasting with the surrounding snow and my seat window was the rearmost beside the right engine. The pilot kept the breaks on until the engine was running at full thrust before he releasted them for what was a very short run and really steep climb at high speed. This take-off is the most exciting I believe I will ever experience, and I take every effort I can to fly in anything big or small! When we reached England, we followed the River Thames to London at medium/low altitude and the view was as magnificent as that fighter like jet flight. From that experience I know the Tu-134 is a gun... really! I appreciate very much the way you presented the Tu-134 aircraft here in your excellent video and I also have warm and vibrant memories of some of the other aircraft. Cheers. David. Canberra.
Wow that is a cool story mate, specially cause I am from Moscow myself and in 92 i lived there, though I was only seven years old. And now i live in Melbourne, small world it is!
@@sumchatoe Spaceeba, it is a small world! If I had any ability to learn to speak, read and write in Russian I think I would be very pleased to live in the Moscow region, and aircraft and flying would play a big part in my life.
Antonov was Russian constructor Russia send him in Ukraine for industrialized and making work place Russia was send engineers and build in Soviet republics institutes and schools an225 was created by Russian constructor tolmachov from kursk _ ussr come from Russian tsardom .
I flew on the AN124 from Florida to England. It was an amazing experience. I stayed with the crew upstairs. A lot of people don’t know there is a complete second floor on the 124. We landed at an RAF base. The wing span was so big we couldn’t us the taxi ways, had to stay on the runway and this was a C130 base! Great video thanks.
@@lol1number Yes, the chain is not as effective, but in a different way than some people think. There is a sudden problem appeared with cracks within hot part of the engine which they did not expect to happen. Because of this problem this part has to be replaced after 2000 hours instead of planned 8000 hours. They (Safran) simply has no possibility to build this part in sufficient numbers - 4 times more than expected. Every time it takes 2 month and 5000000 USD to replace this part. As soon as they redesighn this engine or build enough spare parts the plane will demonstrate its best. Even now she is still profitable.
My first flight to Russia (San Francisco to Sverdlovsk via Khabarovsk) was in 1992, up in the back of the AN-124. In the 5 years I lived there I flew on just about every Russian airliner from the Yak-40 to the IL-86 and most everything in between. Every flight was "interesting" to say the least. Flying a Yak-40 from Vladivostok to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk they loaded the passengers, and then loaded the center isle with car tires......and on that same route later, in a TU -154, I was invited to ride "up front" in the cockpit jump seat and served vodka from an open bottle stored behind the co-pilots seat. Oh yes, I have many more such stories!!
THANK YOU!!!! As a kid growing up under the flight path of JFK airport in NY I was obsessed with watching planes fly overhead. But there were two planes I was really obsessed with: The Concord and the strange Soviet jet with the cool looking 4 engines in the back. Now, 35 years later I finally know what it is!!! Ilyushin 62!
Used to be no problem at all. Did that all the time around 20 years ago and pilots used to enjoy showing kids around. Now everything is high security, which is sad in a way
There used to be a time when all it took was telling the stewardess it was your birthday. My dad used to work for Horizon and as a small child I used to visit the cockpit but after 9/11, nope.
The IL-62M is one that I’d love to fly in. Such a classic looking airliner. I’ve seen the IL-76, IL-96 and AN-12 and AN-124 into Brisbane Australia. The IL-76 - What a noise! The size of the AN-124, incredible!
I was very fortunate to see An-225 parked at Santiago de Chile as I flew in from the Easter Island in November 2016. Our LATAM 787 (first 787 for South America) was taxied to the apron and parked in perfect location for photoshooting. Several of passengers, including me and ground crew, were so livid and ignored the ground staff's command to board the bus right away. We stood on the ground (no pun intended) in awe of the majestic plane as the sun rose behind us. Eventually, the ground staff started to herd us to the bus.
Wow Sam The IL-62 has an engine scream reminiscent of the USAirForce C-5 Galaxy! Thanks for publishing this video and I must say you are so fortunate to have logged so many hours airborne in Soviet State Property!
Sure, Soviets didn't have technologies, they just flew 10000km on Il62 and also flew first supersonic passenger Tu144. You just dont need technologies to do all that, once your piloted spaceship flew around the earth in 1961. Man, are you judging based on just that vintage toilet?
last August I visited the International Aviation and Space Salon MAKS-2019 in Moscow. You should have been visited it too. Amazing Soviet and Russia planes demonstration
I actually flown twice on the Tupolev TU154 20 years ago on Balkan Air (Air Bulgaria) They used it for their flights from Sofia to Casablanca. I still remember those flights because they were my first flights (9 years old kid). Been amazed by airplanes ever since.
My first experience flying on a Soviet made passenger plane was in the early 90s from Beijing to Xi'an. From the passenger seat, I could see the panel instruments were all analog. Quite an experience that I will never forget. Good plane requires good pilot
I am in an Aerospace engineering faculty in Romania. In one of our classes we have a scheme with all the hydraulics in the TU-154, along with buttons and indicators. It's a shame nobody actually uses that for teaching.
Great video Sam and loved the music...almost had me marching up and down the street !!! I amazed at how basic the cockpit instruments are at at 8.57 look like the whole thing is about to fall apart !! A most interesting look at Soviet aviation over the years...and many still flying. Thanks Sam and well done as always !!
When I was visiting family in Poland, one of the Antonov 124's took off from the Warsaw airport and my grandparents house was directly below the departure path for the plane, and the sound of it was loud and woke me up from my sleep.
I will never forget the sound of the IL-62 while watching them at Berlin-Schönefeld back in GDR times. I was a kid and often visit this airport together with my grandparents. Very nice video!
Those Russian pilots flying those old aircraft are real pilots Actually flying a plane manually! In the west you got pilots just Operating computers and Little female pilots
Do you know that usually the one of the last words of russian pilots before the crash is "Pizdets"? Which is derived from word "cvnt" and means - fvck up. Nearly 75% of voice records prove that. Unfortunately when you see decryption of cockpit voice recorder it's usually looks like ...
Hi Sam, why did you leave out the IL-86, and except for a fast clip at the end of the video the IL-96 as well? However, you did get my favorite vodka burner the TU-154. I feel lucky looking back now that I got fly the TU-134 and TU-154 on Aeroflot back in 2004 between St. Petersburg and Moscow SVO. The TU-154 was still in a Soviet era liver too. I just wish I had pictures to remember the flights.
Because Russia instead of make a new TU 134 with new engines, fly by wire, glass screens, composite..etc... have made the Sukhoi Superjets and the MC 21....that planes have western avionics which can be hitted by Sanctions or lack of replacement parts...
@@rhodium1096 Yeah, Soviet qualities back in the day were great. Why wouldn't they just at least just re-engine and get some modern, digital avionics (that uses displays in place of gauges) while retaining the rough-field performance?
Great video. I have never flown on a Soviet plane but I did see one of the Antonov cargo jets landing at a small commercial airport in Sanford, Florida a few weeks ago, registration number UR-82006. Wasn't quick enough to get picture but beautiful sight and sound as it flew directly over my head at a point about 5 miles from touchdown.
The awkward moment when you've been listening to Spotify on the way home from work, turn this video on, and hear the same song in it that was playing on Spotify when you get home haha. (The Red Alert 3 song)
Great video! I flew on an Aeroflot IL-62 from New Delhi to Moscow in early 1993. Cool plane, but the interior was coming apart. However, I truly enjoyed the ride. Somehow, I got the impression that the pilots were actually flying. It moved through the air with a certain grace, something I had only experienced in DC9s and MD-80s before. Rear-mounted engines ...!

I have to agree, there were a number of Russian planes that were operating for much longer than one would have considered, but doing so very well. When it comes to landing there is a saying in Russia if you are flying anywhere, its " Have a soft landing" and i cannot forget the fact that in fact people clap on landing ! The aircraft were well built and rugged, they could take a beating on a rather badly kept runway. One thing that still amazes me is there is an aircraft that is still flying despite its age and can be found on or around most airfields., Its used for sky diving from in many places and is a byplane single engine that is still cloth covered wings, i cannot forvthevlifevof me remember the name of this plane, but i have seen them all over the place still flying. Rough runways are not uncommon and even fight bases are likely to have weeds growing up on them, the fighters are in fact equiped with grattings that are employed on take of and landing so that nothing g oes in the intakes, which beats hhaving to walk the runway before flying starts in case thetes a little stone or something, it also means that most Russian aircraft could use a road if it had to. I found the aircrew were very pleasant and cheerful people on every plane i have flown on and nothing seems too much trouble to them. I look at todays atitude towards Russia and wonder just where thevwestern world gets off with its bad mouthing this country who have never done anything to a western country to be treated so badly, i put a lot down to American propaganda in the cold war period, and it seems that they just cannot accept that there is a country just as big and powerful as they are which in their eyes should not be, but having been both places I can say that out of the two Russia is a lot more friendly and outgoing, and i think everyone should go there at least once in their lives to see just how big it really is, and to see for themselves just what the average Russian is like, besides, there is so much to see and so much history in the place and most westerners could not tell you what the first capital of Russia is called. Today it changes every time my wife and i go there everything is being made very modern but still retains its history, it makes for a great holiday.
I have seen the 124 in person. And you can not understand its size until.you do. Seeing a jeep Cherokee next to the tire and seeing how much larger the tire is in comparison helps.also seeing the tail sticking up feet above the air tower is awww inspiring. I live in an automotive industrial city and Ford had hire it to ship.in or.out parts.
Russia always had a very good aviation background. In the past engineers like antonov, illyushin, tupolev made good aircraft, a bit unlucky with the 144 (so was Concorde in it's final 25 year career)
I love to fly on rare aircraft types. Have you flown on any Russian/Soviet built planes? Love to hear your experience!

Great video. I have never flown on a Soviet plane but I did see one of the Antonov cargo jets landing at a small commercial airport in Sanford, Florida a few weeks ago, registration number UR-82006. Wasn't quick enough to get picture but beautiful sight and sound as it flew directly over my head at a point about 5 miles from touchdown.
Aaaah thank you man. This is real flying. Respect for the Russians - from South Africa
my bucket list to go on an adventure with you on these great machines
Make one video for sukhoi superjet 100 and MC-21
Very cool. I never knew half these airplanes existed until now. Thanks Sam
The Ilyushin IL-96 is my favourite Russian/Soviet airliner.
My country’s airforce operated An-12s up until 1970, they were equipped with two 23 mm cannons in the tail!
Amazing video Sam chui ❤
You’re so lucky mate! These are awesome planes! :)
Best video on this channel yet.
sam u r the luckiest pers in the world of flying... good job... thanks for sharing your experience to all
The awkward moment when you've been listening to Spotify on the way home from work, turn this video on, and hear the same song in it that was playing on Spotify when you get home haha. (The Red Alert 3 song)
I flew TU-154 and IL-96 It was great.Thank you for your amazing video.
12:23 His headset is wrapped in a piece of A4 paper😂😂😂
No it's not...
I have been flying from Irkutsk to Novosibirsk, the take off was great, like on a military jet, won't ever forget. _-_-1984
Любимые тушки! Обожаю их)
Great video! I flew on an Aeroflot IL-62 from New Delhi to Moscow in early 1993. Cool plane, but the interior was coming apart. However, I truly enjoyed the ride. Somehow, I got the impression that the pilots were actually flying. It moved through the air with a certain grace, something I had only experienced in DC9s and MD-80s before. Rear-mounted engines ...!
Love all the Russian types I have flown on, always exciting!!! ;o)
Sam You Rock! I love your videos! How do you manage to fet a flight on one of these amazing planes? Once Again, Great Work!
Omg ! A plane with 6 engines!!
Yeah?

I have to agree, there were a number of Russian planes that were operating for much longer than one would have considered, but doing so very well.
When it comes to landing there is a saying in Russia if you are flying anywhere, its " Have a soft landing" and i cannot forget the fact that in fact people clap on landing !
The aircraft were well built and rugged, they could take a beating on a rather badly kept runway.
One thing that still amazes me is there is an aircraft that is still flying despite its age and can be found on or around most airfields.,
Its used for sky diving from in many places and is a byplane single engine that is still cloth covered wings, i cannot forvthevlifevof me remember the name of this plane, but i have seen them all over the place still flying.
Rough runways are not uncommon and even fight bases are likely to have weeds growing up on them, the fighters are in fact equiped with grattings that are employed on take of and landing so that nothing g oes in the intakes, which beats hhaving to walk the runway before flying starts in case thetes a little stone or something, it also means that most Russian aircraft could use a road if it had to.
I found the aircrew were very pleasant and cheerful people on every plane i have flown on and nothing seems too much trouble to them.
I look at todays atitude towards Russia and wonder just where thevwestern world gets off with its bad mouthing this country who have never done anything to a western country to be treated so badly, i put a lot down to American propaganda in the cold war period, and it seems that they just cannot accept that there is a country just as big and powerful as they are which in their eyes should not be, but having been both places I can say that out of the two Russia is a lot more friendly and outgoing, and i think everyone should go there at least once in their lives to see just how big it really is, and to see for themselves just what the average Russian is like, besides, there is so much to see and so much history in the place and most westerners could not tell you what the first capital of Russia is called.
Today it changes every time my wife and i go there everything is being made very modern but still retains its history, it makes for a great holiday.
Я думаю,что самолëт,за который Вы говорили,это АН-2
Can’t believe you took SOVIET MARCH from RED ALERT 3 soudtrack !!!!!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
nice info, Sam....tq for sharing the information Russian and Soviet planes..from Malaysia
An-225’s MTOW = 660t told me my instructor
Former Antonov test pilot btw
I’m thankful for sharing Soviet Aviation.
I am your big fan sam😍
I have seen the 124 in person. And you can not understand its size until.you do. Seeing a jeep Cherokee next to the tire and seeing how much larger the tire is in comparison helps.also seeing the tail sticking up feet above the air tower is awww inspiring. I live in an automotive industrial city and Ford had hire it to ship.in or.out parts.

Looks like the 737 isn't slav enough to land

Thanks for flying the An-225
When I hear music like this, I want to jump in my Ilyushin Il-2 and fly to defend Stalingrad.
Great video thank you for sharing 👍
00:54 everything in the cockpit is falling off
Awesome plane and great video !! Tank you Sam for this !
Russia always had a very good aviation background. In the past engineers like antonov, illyushin, tupolev made good aircraft, a bit unlucky with the 144 (so was Concorde in it's final 25 year career)
Great Video! Thanks Guys! The IL86 should have been covered too...
1:04 do he have a tuplev on his shirt??
I saw planes landing every time and everyday. but opening reverse thrust upon touchdown? that's rare and awesome!
