Flying on Unbelievable Russian and Soviet Planes

- This video shows you what is it like flying on Russian and Soviet built airliners such as Tupolev, Ilyushin and Antonov. The video also features two of the largest built transporter, the Antonov 124 and Antonov 225. These jets once were flying in the competing universe of aviation to the West but now disappearing fast in the sky.
In the video, you will see rare footage from the cockpit flying Russian and Soviet built jetliners such as Tu-154, Tu-134, IL-62, IL-76, An-12 and An-74. You will also see the difference of cabin interiors of these Soviet planes. They are very different to the modern planes we travel on.
I have a vast commercial airplane interest not limited to Boeing and Airbus. I love to fly on rare aircraft types. Do you know I've flown more than 60 times in Soviet built airplanes? This video will bring you to a different level of aviation experience! Enjoy!

Yeet
Customer: How many tonnes can you lift?
Antonov: Yes!
Phone customer: how many tones can this phone do?
Phone: *Yes*
@@theenzoferrari458 the piano which weighed a tonne needed calibration to play the correct tones. My apologies.
Know the name of the song before the Red Alert theme in the beginning of the video?
This comment made my day )))
Eat up,plane
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.
Lol, He probably did have flashbacks.
Alot of these old aircraft land alot differently but that pilot prolly was flashing back
Antonov was Russian constructor Russia send him for making industry upgrade in Ukraine tolmachov created an225 he was from Russia sity kursk .
Ok boomer
In certain weather conditions, the aircraft refuses to land and the only option is to crash it downwards..been through a couple of flights like these
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 классно

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.
In Soviet Russia, plane is mounted on engine
🤣🤣🤣👍😆😂♥️
😂😂😂
Alex In soviet russia, plane flies pilot
Alex
In Soviet Russia, Earth lifts off the plane.
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 .
Soviet jets are so classic and rough. it was a treat to watch them. They have the glory of their own.
Thanks Sam
Haider Arshad the one with the engines above the wings is ugly why would you do that
@@Monkey-on8lj that was Soviet logic 😅
@@Monkey-on8lj The layout takes advantage of the Coanda effect to improve the short takeoff capabilities of the plane
зато надёжные:)
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!!
That's insane! 😂
efficiency and leisure simultaneously yah
Who needs a glass cockpit when you can have a glass nose?
:D :D :D
Why only have glass nose when you can have glasnost?
Like ilyushin IL-76
... if you have a glass.
yes much better
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.
Yeah, the AN-225 never ceases to impress me.
And there is only one ever built. And another in progress for so many years.
Laertes L yes. A truly amazing plane.
@@laertesl4324 Haven't China bought it?
@@laertesl4324 wrong 3 built ,1 crash,2 operational and 3 never finished,
@@theneptune2011 well, all the sources I can check say that only one was built, I guess they are all wrong, not me.
Dont understand why soviet planes are so discriminated when they are the most durable and built for the harshest weather conditions like -35 in winter
-35? -55
@@toriyshaov2245 true
Supply chains are not as efficient as Airbus’ or Boeing’s that’s why SSJ100 is a very good aircraft but not a commercial success for instance
@@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.
Because their maintainance is a big issue for other countries
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!
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
LOL 😂
You're the man. Those reliable aircrafts are great for cognac runs.
yes ,you are the best airline....inside korea
Ah! Chairman Kim 😃
Nice of you to weigh in on the chat 😎👍
How's your IL62 going these days?
안녕하세요 고려항공 언젠가 꼭 타보고 싶어요! :)
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!
I knew someone who flew on some Soviet airliners in the 1970's. He described the aircraft as "20,000 parts flying in very, very tight formation." :-)
It’s amazing how Sam obtains backstage access to cockpits, airplanes, etc. congratulations!!
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.
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.
CZcamsr: Soviets don't have good technologies
An-225: Am I a joke to you?
Topolev 154 tu
Katyusha: “Am I a joke for you?!”
Lada that bounce a Bullet tank : aM i JOke tO yOU
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?
@@user-xe6yq2qi4i Sir, I literally have no idea what you are trying to tell me...
THANK YOU, COMRADE SAM, FOR MAKING A FEATURE ON OUR UNBELIEVABLE PLANES. :)
Invites an expert... barely lets him say a few words.
Paul C i thought the same thing. Let him speak.
Paul let the expert say a couple of words please. He seems very interesting to listen too.
Even cut him off towards the end like some douche LOL
Meanwhile, a faint voice can be heard echoing from the skies...
*"Welcome to my laboratory... where safety is number one priority..."*

@crazy russian hacker 🤣 Taras kul.
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!
Nice background music.

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 !!
Red Alert Theme :D I Love it
I was about say. He got it from the game I played 😁.
Yeah even I was about to say that red alert 3😁👍👌
@@theadventureofjordan no, "we" played
Conscript reporting! Soviets=beet faction on that game.
For Russians, this song sounds very funny))) About bears, balalaika and vodka.

Great to see something totally different on an aviation channel. Thanks for your time and effort to educate us on these planes!
This is why I love your channel Sam. Very diverse with aviation.
5:01 First class toilet xD
They could do with a paint job but maybe they were clean ?
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.
awesome video! super cool for covering different aircraft, thank you sam
Wow, what a fantastic video! Great Job! I always enjoy watching your videos!
I would really appreciate if you did a series with modern Russian airplanes such as tupolev tu204 / 214, ilyushin il96 etc
Sam this is amazing, those planes are massive!
Amazing video Sam!!! You never fail to impress us. keep it up!!!
Good report Comrade Sam, thanks for enlightening us, warm wishes and safe travels;-))
THE RED ALERT MUSIC I CANT EVEN XD
Thx 4 mentioning the background music,i had no idea of its name 😂😂😂😂😂
@@raisa_cherry33 I had heard it previously... somehow made by Americans but sounds so damn Russian it just FITS XD Grateful I could help!!
@@gmbrusselsprout It's based on a song originally sung by the soviet army choir, if I recall correctly
@@oscarsoderholm6715 lol no it is not....it is just some song Westwood clobbered together...
WoW! Never seen such planes like these - l can see why one can get addicted to plane spotting and flying on amazing planes.
Awesome plane and great video !! Tank you Sam for this !
Your video quality is getting so much better! Great video
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. I love your Videos, but this is the best. Thanks for it.
Really really marvellous.. thanks bro 😬💪💕
Lets take a moment and a appreciate on how good the video is especially the animation. His videos has improved soo much compared to before.
*Sam, you are amazing!*
Amazing video! I love seeing old Soviet planes like these. It’s sad to see them disappearing from the sky.
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?
@@fahmirblx I think it is a politic reason..maybe to avoid that qualified Human resources work in build civil aircrafts instead of Military aircrafts.
@@fahmirblx Civil avionics are lacking in fund rn. While military ones are increasing years by years
I feel this year the channel became less of strictly flight reviews, and more general aviation content. Keep it up!!
Love the practicality of old Russian planes and helicopters.Who else would have a cooling fan in the flight deck?😊
In case people are wondering what the music is at 1:54, it's Red Alert 3 Soviet March
The Ilyushin IL-96 is my favourite Russian/Soviet airliner.
What kind of music is playing on the background ? Its not Russian but sounds funny ! You did a great job Sam. Very interesting content !
It's from the Red Alert 3 soundrack: "Red Alert 3 Theme - Soviet March"
Red alert 3 - soviet march
It’s a song about a soviet power and there is sings about they will punish hole world :(
Red Alert 3 Soundtrack "Soviet March"
NK-Pop for sure
You’re so lucky mate! These are awesome planes! :)

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!
I love the theme music from one of my favorite games as a child. Command & Conquer: Red Alert (series).
Make one video for sukhoi superjet 100 and MC-21

When I hear music like this, I want to jump in my Ilyushin Il-2 and fly to defend Stalingrad.
When I hear that kind of music, I want to get a Kalashnikov, balalaika out of my vault. Then sit on the bear and destroy the damned capitalists!
