From Samjiyon to Pyongyang on IL-18, then Pyongyang to Pyongyang onboard latest aircraft of Air Koryo, An-148 For more details on this trip, please visit samchui.com/cat...
Hey, nice to see a fellow Bostonian here! I used to live in Boston but have relocated last year due to job change. Used to take the commuter rail to work from North Shores, I guess you can call that the "MBTA" as well.
Just because John read the receipt wrong to you, you're gonna act this way? Is this your way of getting out of your responsibilities? Is this the way you act?
+GRH Gąsiorek | AgropolSokołowoTV I doubt it, actually. These planes likely don't rack up that many cycles or hours, since there are so few flights in a day. How well they're maintained is the real question.
David Macchia such a piece of junk that it's still flown after 60 years since it's first flight and has a better record than your so patriotic boring 737. Love your based comment. Cheers
Gotta love the old IL-18....reminds me of flying in Electras, Britannias and Viscounts back in the 1960s and 70s. It may not be sophisticated but sure is durable.
@@h-hhh Soviets (Funds principally Russian)), under Ukrainian management Antonov is not doing very well because there is no money. An 124 and An 255 would have never been built under Ukrainian hands and by the way the engines they use are Russian. Antonov is just based in Ukraine but We all know where most of the money, most of the scientists and most of the engineers used to come from which is Russia. The largest fleet of An124 is in hands of the Russian air force The same goes for the shipyards in Mykolaiv, they built the Admiral Kuznetsov and many other under Soviet hands and now they are getting rusty.
Irish Wristwatch are you kidding me! your one of those brats who thinks united i the worst. irish wristwatch: my name is irish wristwatch and i am a little brat. that serves you right!
From Jane's World Aircraft Recognition Handbook: Over 700 IL-18 "Coot" medium range airliners were built and the type was exported to a number of countries. It first came into service in 1959 and was known in Russia as the "Moskva" Cruises at: 625Km/hr Range: 6500Km and holds up to 122 metric passengers
Some An-148/158 are Ukraine built and some ones are Russia built. There are two manufacturing facilities. Ukrainian, Cubana and North Korean An-148/158 are Ukraine built. Russia build An-148 for Russian airlines and military services.
The Soviet navy used the IL-18 as reconnaisance and submarine hunting planes if I recall correctly. But not as bombers. But that is not too far fetched, the soviets did modify bombers into civilian planes.
4:57 wow that looks like Air Koryo has a "Business Class" (wow! Business Class in North Korea) with better seats than all short haul flights I have seen so far in Europe and America ^^
Yet a good majority of Americans enjoy running the streets or visiting the gymnasium exercise. Either you're jealous, are prone to having a high hypocrocy level, or you're simply too much of a dullard to comprehend your own commentary. I take it you're a foreigner, and seek any minor, shall we say, "inaccuracy" in Americans to utilize that to further prove your reasons as to why your own country is superior. Do us all a favour, and quit trying.
I lived many years ago for few years in Pyongyang due to work, you have to understand that at that time only Air Koryo flew twice a week to Beijing only. In summer season, some Chinese airline was also allowed to flew the same route. The airplanes are outdated but they have professional North Korean cabin crew onboard, serving proper meal although flight was just below 2 hours and professional ticketing and boarding passes. The open cabins for luggage I didnt like, because in turbulence luggage used to fall down. The amazing fact is that they took always off on time, no matter the weather conditions. I experienced one flight at 09.00 am in morning and run way was completely covered in snow (outside minus 35) but still we were in the air by 09.00 am because out of nowhere thousand of workers appeared and cleared the snow and ice manually. In my time the airport in Pyongyang was the old one, which was good and efficient. I believe in Pyongyang they have now a airport which is according to international standards and which Is luxurious. Because you can only fly their national airline in North Korea (Communist system) and they fly not much in a week time, their flights are always full. Mainly UN expats, Diplomats, North Korean Top party workers and few specially selected tourist are their passengers.
Funny thing is, Air Koyro is the safest airline on earth (by fatalities onboard). Before you say they hide any crashes, China always watches theif flights, they are the only country (+ a few) to allow Air Koyro traffic, and china wouldnt hide a plane crash from anyone
Calum Champion It's easy to have the lowest amount of anything when you have such a small and unreliable sample. 6 flights (at most) a day compared to any worldwide airline with hundreds of planes in the air at any given time, 24/7. Of course an airline with hundreds of flights 24/7 will have the risk of more fatalities. Air Koryo is an outlier and while it may have the lowest fatalities, it is an unreliable and skewed statistic. If Air Koryo was a big airline and had hundreds of flights it would have similar numbers to everyone else.
Welcome to The Kingdom of the Hermit Dictator! Mg God, ran for your beat seat! I really feel for the those people of North Korea, how many years of suffering to go before the country is liberated?
The IL18 plane still looks Great after so many years. It still have smooth surfaces. Look at Boeing Planes...like those built at the back yard garage. Crude making...
I had wanted to fly a Czech similar plane from Finland to Sweden but the Czechs wanted to leave Helsinki at 05:00 which was not good so I left on an SAS flight midmorning...I hated to miss that flight :)
North korea looked like they are still on pre-cold war communist nations the plane,subway,military uniform even that music have some russian-communist vibe in it. Its amazing.
Wow 6 flights in one day in North Korea. Must be a record high.
1:26 PEOPLE ARE RUNNING TO GET ON A AIR KORYO FLIGHT WTF
they cant choose seats. its a first come first serve thing
It was a joke
I wouldn't be running knowing it would result in certain death......run the other direction.
Lol
I think that that people they don't about Emitates,Catar airways,Lufthansa or Swiss.
wow, that runway is in worse condition than the roads in Boston
HEY! I'm from Boston too! Favorite MBTA Line?
MINEMICS is_not_pleased (facepalm) Just because MINEMICS is not please doesn't mean he/she's never pleased! See what I did there?

You dared to take a photo of a military airfield in North Korea, that's badass!
Well now we know one place to strike if they oppose us!
Nathan Gamer TV Even we civilians know every single open airfield, thanks to google maps.
gg man The question is... Can we really trust the information google maps give us?
No fear from this man
Adrian Prytz I am sure the US has Satellites that can spy on North Korea with hi resolution.
I bet that the airframe is way over it's lifespan
must be, that landing sounded like they lost the landing gear

Bogdan Chetraru a lot of them weren't new... they were acquired from other Airlines like Aeroflot...
You can see it still has Russian writing on the exterior of the plane, near the pitot tube (I think) at 4:48. Incredible
Aloysius Chok No, no, most of the planes in Air Koryo's fleet are ex-Soviet, hence the Russian writing.
That IL-18 is an aircraft junkies dream ride. Thanks for sharing.
David Macchia Junkies dream what? :D
David Macchia the IL-18 is just a piece of crap Russian aircraft.
Chris John Michael that's the point, no one wants a piecce of crap aircraft
David Macchia such a piece of junk that it's still flown after 60 years since it's first flight and has a better record than your so patriotic boring 737. Love your based comment. Cheers
Antonio Cignozzi the 737 is hardly boring(the -800 is currently my favourite plane) but your right there.
Thank you for having a good flight with our Airline! Hopefully you come back soon :).
@Kaisar Hirohito yes
That plane is soo old, i bet Stalin flew it some times 2..
+Daniel Baiks how about johnsonˊs wet pants
No he didn't. The IL18 first flew in 1957. Stalin died in 1953

Running to the plane for a seat is how all flights should be!
Justin Vasko 👌👌👌👌 I would get the worst seat
Ryanair xD
QANTAS 747 I'd push every fucker out the way to get to the upper deck, only if Air Koryo weren't so fucking poor
Justin Vasko I run like a retarded frog.
probably the safest option to go
and we taught Ryanair was bad...
Aertraveller you are right it isn't bad it's garbage
Aertraveller air koryo is the worlds only 1 star airline so yes they aren't bad they are that of liquid feces

Hahaha
Its last place on skytrax
im more impressed for the toilet door then the aircraft itself lol

Mr TheMan it’s $25 a flight. What do you expect.
be grateful low fares
We can all be honest- this cabin looks alot nicer than a United one.
Irish Wristwatch are you kidding me! your one of those brats who thinks united i the worst. irish wristwatch: my name is irish wristwatch and i am a little brat. that serves you right!
Irish Wristwatch nah united's cabin is nicer than that shit, but air koryo won't drag you off-board
Ally Playz well the thing is united has too many flyers, while air koryo has no flyers
For those that liked the song, this is what I found:
Singer: Ri Kyong Suk
Song: Don't ask my name
Hahahahahaha everybody is running! QUICK SO WE CAN GET THE WINDOW SEATS!
mario velez It’s like that scene off Home Alone.
“I get the window seat.” When they were rushing to the plane to Paris.

Air Koryo should recive 2 or 3 star airline because it has zero fatal crash from the beginning of Air Koryo first flight to now
But how many air miles do they fly each year?
That we know of!
Great, now I have to hear north korean propaganda music blowing out of my PC
@3:47 smooth IL-18 landing
@8:38 very very hard AN-148 landing
This Russian made aircraft (Antonov) is very reliable and this aircraft is still being used by all over the world including some NATO Countries

2:03 Man on the left was never taught what the device in your hand is.
You break my laws Mr chui! !!!!
that one looks like a bomber plane
ummm nooo
임동곤 ils were bombers in ww2
임동곤 No it doesn't at all. Just because it is Top Wing style doesn't mean that. Americans are too used to the lower wing aircraft.
Last one is like a bae146 with two engines missing
The Soviet navy used the IL-18 as reconnaisance and submarine hunting planes if I recall correctly. But not as bombers. But that is not too far fetched, the soviets did modify bombers into civilian planes.
The song has nostalgic feeling, relaxing music.

why do i like this music ._.
Its too catchy
Because you are slowly becoming NORTH Korean...(???)
cuz its the real kpop
j.m so do I
sound like some soviet russian song
great landing
(sigh)
DuckDetective Yeah i know it sounded like when you get angry and smash up your lego sets...
yup
Someone is getting executed
Back to 80's era😲😯
Looking at the thumbnail, I thought, "Hey at least it doesn't have a propeller."
forward to 1:05 , "Well, shit..."
What's wrong it prop aircraft?
李杰 《Bapa》loud as shit.
DroidTech maybe because il-18 is old and outdated
irfan123100, what's so bad about propeller planes??
Ian Wilson i think because the il-18 is old and outdated
I want to fly on that IL- 18 also. Great historical aircraft.
Who is here in 2019?
Max Walter me
Nu,I in 2020
Such a beautiful country! Just love how the country keeps this airline going! The nature reminds me of scandinavian woods. Fantastic dude!!
my favorite part of this country is it's mighty leader, with the sophisticated, unparalleled technology at a close second.

@@MoskusMoskiferus1611 maybe, I find the landings pretty good actually

@2:53 what a smooth landing especially for that type of aircraft
The pilot probably would be shot for landing too hard
@@matthewsmith2787 accurate
Check out the one on 8:39
The runway in Pyongyang is rouher than the runway in tacloban no jokes
That's what sanctions can do
It would be a dream come true to fly on a IL-18
Wait, Wait WAIT... There is a best seat? Um, what about the safest seat for when the aircraft crashes...
There is no safe seat
the safest seat is in a train
Haha ha
+KosukiFire well considering they have had no major accidents since 1983... more safe then alot more U.S airlines.
+james hartley I live in the Philippines and Philippine airliners had lots of fatal crashes
that doesn't even look like a airport!!!
This somehow feels so majestic
for anyone wondering the first song is "My Country is the best!"
Pyongyang to Pyongyang ? I dont understand that.
Maybe it was just sightseeing flight.
Ricardo Patricio it's a joy flight :)
It's a attacking flight

Hi Sam, nice video again
whats the name of the song? :)
cool tune!
Believe me or not, but those planes are very cute and comfortable. I spent my childhood, flying IL-18 and many others ✈️
Military base at 7:06 is Sunchon Airport home to MiG-29 fighter jets
the first song at 1.5 speed is catchy.
I love the music for the second flight
A Trip to 🇰🇵 is an adventure.
1:21 the one time you will see Americans running.

Wow that antonov has row 13?! I thought british airways a318 had it
What the name of the last song? Sounds great.
the song name is "don't ask my name"
This is my favorite video of yours sam
Great aircraft. Great music. Best wishes from Scotland, UK.
Still better than united air anyways
At 4:52 was that duct tape on the engine.
+Gary Plastek it's called speed tape. Most airplanes will have that stuff on it every so often.
but maybe they really using the normal duct tape... lol
The song was remixed by Swiss001
7:24 the circular toilet door is definitely something cool
8:41 Best landing ever!!!
wut
i thought the song said : we all going to die, die, die ,die,die ,die
Probably what'll happen if you go to North Korea

I love flying and I would really like to try going on a tupolev plane! It somehow looks modern and old at the same time.
Still better then flying United...
