[@andyf279]

wow, mind blown! I've been watching your recent videos and really like your channel Sam. I've started watching your oldest content to see how your style has developed and never imagined video number 9 would be into North Korea! Amazing stuff

[@arixkk7443]

When I hear the AMAZING voice of that girl, I realize that how many golden talents are there in N. Korea with a lot of limits, hard times and toughness of life! It's just impressing me that why shouldn't an innocent talented girl like her see the rest of the world and become one of the best soprano singers! Where ever those talents are, I wish the best for them, and to see one day that the world has discovered these talents. Thanks for this beautiful video Sam Chui

[@tillamook7446]

Imagine someone set the sound of an Il-62M take off sound as your alarm XD

[@the_navid_alam11091]

+David Herbant actually I would like it. XD

[@Boschwash24]

north Korea high tech planes, shithole country

[@DanaPatriciaMary1]

Haha, that would really wake me up. No change of leaving me asleep. No snooze function would be needed, as I would wake up instantly and would not fall back asleep.

[@AliBaba-vw7mo]

Cal Garian lolollllll, "innovative", eh. lokks like not even a single digital instrument screeen in the cockpit. i wonder wheather htere is autopilot. but it is also kind of good to remind us of how far humanity has improved in aviation. we had prgressed from that cockpit to a cockpit where the pilots just sit back and the autopilot takes over... and also havin colourful displays in the cokpit

[@Guy.B]

Arthur Stafford the russian version of the MD 80

[@wewillrockyou1986]

The engine has a fixed set of "blades" that are placed infront of the fan, these are presumably for stabilising the airflow which is often turbulent after it has passed along the length of the fuselage. It also can help reduce damage from bird strikes and such.

[@henson2k]

Enjoyed your video a lot! Flew on IL-62 15+ times and often all the way in the back. Love sound of those engines!

[@ankurkamboj8362]

U made it look like a paradise!! U are a very positive person I must say..

[@bagelboi66]

The IL-62 has an excellent safety record, better than Boeing's 707. The 62M was build into the 1990's making the last aircraft off the line relatively young, as aircraft go. Delta still flies some 35 year old DC-9 50's on a couple of short haul routes. The 62M's engines are two spool low bypass turbofans. What you see at the front is not the stage 1 compressor but inlet guide vanes which are fixed. If you ever see them spinning you are having a very bad day :)

[@northkoreakp834]

thank you for your comment, just wonderful

[@grl2675]

Absolutely splendid video. Enjoyed every minute of it, including those screaming jet engines. Thanks for sharing.

[@DoctaDuckroll]

No all the turbines on an Il-62M automatically lock off when the engine is stalled. The only way to turn them when stopped is by setting it to engineering/simulation or cleaning mode which requires exterior access. I don't see anyone hanging off the wing.

[@BritanniaPacific]

You really don't see the il-62m anymore, I know Russia's national airline Aeroflot retired them a number of years ago. Despite the fact it's an old soviet made airplane, operated by North Korea, you're experiencing aviation history, and this airplane is a reminder of those old days.

[@FadedXenox]

TheNw1218 Illyushin Il-62 planes are like those Boeing B-717 type of planes (I might be missing more, including the McDonnell Douglas MD-80)

[@andrzejpl9897]

TheNw1218 I made twice around the world in it . Very nice plane . Just those engines ? I was lucky .

[@Megavolts]

British Vickers VC10 is closer type as it has 4 rear engines too

[@F.A.A.F.0]

Great vid. You are more brave than I. I wouldn't fly on that thing.

[@thatnorwegianguy1986]

+CMallory The plane is fine it's him landing in North Korea that makes him brave

[@boldontarian]

+CMallory IL's are incredibly well built. They're like the Volvo of the aircraft world. With proper maintenance, these things last centuries.

[@F.A.A.F.0]

Cloud 19 Gaming They may be well built. I have zero confidence that communist North Korea does any maintenance on their aircraft.

[@QuadroPlay]

+CMallory I dont think that they have worse maintenance than in capitalist countries

[@boldontarian]

Hopefully the regime will topple. I feel bad for all those people, living on scraps while kim jong un waddles around feeding his fat face.

[@CraftezUnited]

I remember seeing an Air Koryo TU-204 at Beijing as I was deplaning off my previous flight from Shanghai Hongqiao. It was quite a treat.

[@JM-hc7pn]

I like the sound of the engines. These engines seem to work like a swiss clock. I like your videos.

[@GustavoMaciel]

GREAT engine sounds during approach and landing!!

[@marcoGismondi93]

awesome video! your video are really amazing.. really special and with some rare airplanes like this, well done!

[@gittys1982]

Rarest Plane now. May be last using on the planet. The gold video, you must be happy that try to fly on this beautifoul plane.

[@MakMoustachu]

Tough luck! You got absolutely the worst seats. It’s a lot more comfortable near the midsection - a lot less noise. The plane used to be renowned back in the Soviet times for its stable rides and smooth landings. It’s a flying museum piece indeed - most of IL-62s were retired in the late 90s. Thanks for the video - what memories revived! My first ever flight was on one of these, back in 1977…

[@kksd2]

Excellent Video Sam!

[@DoctaDuckroll]

No they are not, the engine stalls at 7:04 I've never seen this on any commercial flight before.

[@Cybernod]

Very nice video..i like north korea...and the plenes are awesome..

[@boavidafilipedias]

The sound, that engine sound!!

[@northkoreakp834]

thank you for your comment, rare, no, but good and last a longtime

[@mulymule12]

Cable operated flight surfaces. Love it.

[@eckehardstier]

Super video - thanks ;-) I flew ones in UDSSR-times with this lady...Great!

[@northkoreakp834]

thank you for your videos, one can say wonderful photos work

[@slashslash9777]

Great video ☺ thankx for posting ☺

[@northkoreakp834]

thank you for your video, nice show and flight

[@SuperEdge67]

If you criticise the food you are arrested on landing and shot!

[@nowherefast840]

I am extremely jealous of you. That is aviation history you're flying on, amazing!

[@TEHGROUND]

The Il-62M was introduced in 1972, don't know how old this particular model is though.

[@northkoreakp834]

thank you for your comment, just as good,but you have to look aftre them,thry need a lot of cheking

[@陳亭蓁-u7s]

Could you please record engine shutdown next time?🙏🥺

[@NathanielBlack12]

Reverse thrust sounds so good!

[@rizkyfajarfarhansyah3847]

0:16 Better Than K-Pop I admit it

[@Petra44YT]

You're lucky, they let you stay at the Koryo Hotel! I requested it, but was taken to the Yanggakdo instead.

[@MrLeonzio2]

I love it...North Korean aviation...precious video from the other side of the mirror:-)

[@therandomytchannel4318]

Nice video of the classic IL62. I can't tell on the landing if they did the "reverse thrust before touchdown" method or not, lol Some other vids you can clearly hear the reverse deploy a few secs before touchdown, which looks pretty cool. :)

[@HappyHauptwerk]

Would love to visit North Korea

[@thaile1194]

Yeah But I don't want to get shot...:/

[@daytonaaviation4449]

+Mr.BloxingTon we you won't if you do this your just google it its in May 2016

[@23021955]

Long, long ago, I flew on an Aeroflot IL-62. Four memories stick with me: 1) It accelerated very smartly & required a fairly short takeoff run. 2) The food & service were appalling. 3) Half my seat belt pulled loose in my hand, like a dead snake. 4) The cabin pressure oscillated in a 3-minute cycle - my eardrums kept popping. Perhaps the North Koreans maintain their aircraft better than did the Soviets - but I think I'll pass, thanks just the same...

[@EpicThe112]

Great video at 04:05 to 04:41 the Soloviev D-30KU engine sounds like Jt8D used on the D-9-81 family variants.

[@ericchen]

Interesting that the outer most layer of the engine is a stator, compared to the typical rotor.

[@northkoreakp834]

thank you for your video, you will like this

[@Chad-Hannah]

The reverse thrust sounded like someone was dropping bombs all over the place

[@mumwifechaoticlife]

Jesus those engines have had better days! That noise! Argh!

[@titan9259]

Lol, the il 62 isn't even that loud, the 727 is a fucking tornado

[@titan9259]

Of course planes sounded like that in the 60s

[@natstudios9362]

exactly! I love the noise. It makes me sure that theyre working lol :D

[@mergat2970]

Was it butter? I think not.

[@Kalimsalman]

Excellent work !

[@yros]

Nice Vid Mate ! I wonder did they make some modifications in those engines... In Polish Airlines LOT 2 IL-62M s where crashed during the engine problems. Engine blowed when Pilot gived full power... They found problem with turbine shaft - the metal was too weak...

[@mireq3461]

Amazing sound!

[@hossein_sarshar]

Ur IranAir shirt was very interesting at 10:55 . hahaha

[@DrHalberx]

He likes Iran. :D.

[@jjproductionz187]

me too💪🇮🇷🇮🇷

[@OraStafari610]

Wow. The food looks nice. And look at that cabine room. Thats something you wont be getting on a Delta flight.

[@monibstar]

Wow

[@Ted-Striker]

This is more like a time travel into the 70's :D

[@deweycheatemandhowe2446]

The Flight Engineers'seat,right?

[@ravisub304]

Nice video.................

[@david245611]

Honestly I like the looks of the IL-62M. Hell, I like the design of a lot of Russian/ Soviet aircrafts.

[@Bill463]

Ah lovely lovely North Korea. Do you mind asking what do you do for a living? It's amazing the amount of air travel you do!

[@grantmonheiser3054]

He is an accountant, go see his video on "How I afford to Travel in Wealth!"

[@grantmonheiser3054]

luxury*

[@DoctaDuckroll]

& In just in case you want to take this further, look up the history of incidents involving this aircraft and engine failures.

[@ppvpz]

Awesome travel!!

[@iranair777]

Because not as many are made as oppose to Boeing and Airbus, thus the stats are skewed

[@ProNerdChannel]

Wow, nice plane! Past....

[@daveZ4143]

good vid enjoyed thx. i don't knoww hat it is about tail-mounted engines, they just look better! especially when it's 4 engines like the '62 or the British VC-10. it seems more solid, and robust too.

[@ruchiarora7595]

"entertainment is listening to the beautiful engine noise" yeah, I would rather jump off that plane than listen to it if I am travelling in a 12 hours flight

[@VaultTec30000]

wow, now i really want to visit NK :D seems like a fun place!

[@axelespinal]

You maybe think, but NK is a tragedy inside, a opressor government and you cant do nothing. believe me, thats practically a hell.

[@mach533x]

haha yeah fun until they think you took a photo of something wrong and then. youre in a concrete cell until the rats eat your face

[@DM-hw4cr]

Noticed the inside motors not rotating when cruising, off?

[@louismarnat9788]

Go to 1:43 and look at that genuine smile, she looks sooooo happy lol

[@babayega_]

Wait WAIT!!! How come engine number 2 is off? Im guessing they're running engine 1 and 4 and have 2 and 3 off since that plane can fly in only 2 engines. So they probably try to conserve fuel. But the purpose of 2 and 3 is because of redundancy so if 1 and 4 fail there's a backup. Plus I think they didn't think that if you use 4 engines with 1/4 power you probably use less fuel then if you use only 2 and full power. But hey what do I know. Some work say it's frame rate of the camera but if that was the case then when the engine change speeds the fans would start flooring forward and backwards in the frames of the camera. But that engine is definitely off.

[@Zickcermacity]

What - no takeoff roll? And what's with all that flim-flam in the first minute or so?

[@yamahonkawazuki]

Inboard engine? its running those blades don't move. the ones behind them are the ones that move :)

[@Littlebigbot]

It sounds no different from a DC-9 or 727 when you sit right next to the engines in the rear.

[@Lichtstrahl92]

If they're maintained well they have at least the same quality (or even better) than the western planes of the same age!

[@eat_ze_bugs]

That girl on the violin should upload to KZbin.

[@PeterFabian]

Wait, was that the Russian Standart BBJ VP-BRT departing to TYO on the board?

[@daviedmond4639]

Damn its old, lucky u got to ride one though

[@crash406]

10:20 … that's not the room I was in when I did the tour... Did they mention 'Operation Paul Bunyan' ?

[@Fixxxer1999]

€129.54 exchange rate? not bad.wonder how much won though?

[@artuu94]

awesome!

[@EMSThinWhiteLine12866]

Which tour operator you go with? Was this Koryo Tours?

[@Reprodestruxion]

Bass player glamming it up

[@Alex-hg6wb]

How about visiting South Korea with Asiana Airlines or Korean Air then going to the DMZ (the South Side)?

[@Alex-hg6wb]

+Ayy LMAO Still it will feel different than visiting North Korean DMZ

[@valnium3996]

i like it !

[@DoctaDuckroll]

Engineering/simulation is also known as inspection.

[@therandomgamero2626]

WAIT, I saw another plane. What is that airline?

[@085051]

Cannot believe the engine sound and your hotel four stars rating. They just, ridiculous? Anyway good background music! DPRK orchestra eh.

[@Endimion1]

Korean girls are so beautiful!

[@rullyantowibisono]

my god that cockpit.... all analog, and looks like something from WW II.

[@hoedemakerbart]

beautiful 60s tech

[@barthoedemaker]

Do they allow to smoke on the airplane ? Thanks.

[@flame3601]

No, just because they are a North Korean airline if you want to transport passengers you have to follow FAA regulation which permits smoking anywhere on any aircraft during any part of the flight before and after

[@boldontarian]

On final, the plane was only running the outer engine pair? Is this to save fuel, or for noise reduction?

[@Elrond_Hubbard1]

+Cloud 19 Gaming Thought so too, but they're actually stationary vanes that angle the airflow to the actual fan that's behind the vanes.

[@boldontarian]

+Hugh Janus Oh thanks. That makes more sense.

[@jaygami8811]

please make a video on JET AIRWAYS BOING 777 FIRST CLASS

[@jaydencheema7868]

How can u buy North Korea tickets

[@thitran1362]

Damn that was some sexy engine sound

[@sofruity3]

7:04 why arnt the engines on?, are they cutting down on fuel or something

[@crazedpilot1]

Actually, that's just like a grate in front of the engines. If you look carefully, you can see a blur behind it.

[@bigtaxrefund]

@ 6:48 the aircraft is still in the clouds and way too high. pilot has flaps extended? what pilot does that???

[@bigtaxrefund]

I am also a pilot with a background in avionics and aircraft Mechanics. I built aircraft for years so I know much more than pilots. No one can question me unless they have flight time below their belt

[@boomsville]

+bigtaxrefund how high was the airport? Did you build Russain planes? Is this some kind of ironic rant to include Kim Jong-Um like "you can't question me" line. If it is, very, otherwise, I'm questioning you, in a nice way obviously, clearly not a man to be messed with other the internet....

[@bigtaxrefund]

+boomsville no man is greater than JESUS. he is the author and finisher of all life.

[@daniellord3335]

+bigtaxrefund you didn't answer the question, you've just spouted something about some bloke in a book

[@DanTheCaptain]

How can I do this too? I heard you can do it with a British Citizenship?

[@zhiracs]

Daniel K You can do it just like every other flight.

[@UnitedStatesOfCoffee]

Even if they were off, they would still spin from the wind.

[@faresamr2299]

What was that type of airplane

[@user-lb9tg3ui4f]

Who did you book a tour with ?

[@alexkellagher6774]

Wow im suprised ypu were allowed to take photos of immigration

[@boxenfun]

Does pyongyang airport has ILS?
