Hi Sam Thanks for sharing these new videos from NK. This is surprising that old Soviet era birds can still fly! I was also very impressed by the respect shown towards your group while getting into the train by the man holding the hand of his daughter. It was very courteous. Hope to see more of your videos
Kept this way for western aviation tourists, since only western tourists fly these planes. No North Korean worker can pay for a ticket. Workers in the DPRK are paid with North Korean currency which is worth nothing, this is why they try to get euro's and dollars!
Revolutionary Socialist Media Nope, they are paid with coupons which is redeemed for goods at state-owned supermarkets. Also, Kim don't want his people to board Air Koryo and left the country.......
I flew in Vietnamese Tu-134 (probably -B; I don't recall glazed nose) several times around 1990, and never noticed landing gear pods on wings. I guess I was sitting in one of front rows... Noisy, but otherwise decent, with service as expected on short haul flights. Those have been retired for ages, of course.
I'm a big fan of turboprop airliners! Many say that driving a vehicle with a manual transmission is "real driving". I say that flying in a propeller driven airliner is "real flying"! I love the sound that the props make over the whine of the jet engines. In full idle speed, and taxiing, they make your basic "box fan" sound. In takeoff and inflight, ;they make what I call the "Bumblebee" sound. I wish that most mainline aircraft, used for most domestic flights, like the Boeing 737, and the Airbus A-320, were turboprop instead of pure jet.
Dexter Morgan Unfortunately, they are forced to smile sometimes and they still have harsh camps for no reason. The soviet aircraft can be uncomfortable.
Does not have the D-30 Symphony , a symphony in engines NK-8-2U on the Tu-154B-2. Need not sit near the wing of the Tu-134 and behind him, near the engines, at the end of the passenger compartment. Recomend ))
Hi Sam! I really enjoy watching your videos, they show interesting aircraft and even some of the culture! Please keep sharing your experience! Best wishes from Germany
Hello Sam, it was another amazing series from you. Thanks for your sharing. Is it a special tour for spotters or else? because of nobodies stops you while taking picture! I tought, taking picture is strictly prohibited.
hi sam another great video! do they use mostlo older planes and what are their newest models they fly? these props are rugged and long lasting! best rob.
+kosiak10851 Soviet planes are rugged and reliable for the simple reason that they are simple. They just work. Id rather fly in an old IL-18 than in a DC-8 of that era...
I take way two things from these videos. One, no one from DPRK flies AIr Kroyo, the airline depends on foreigners and secondly, they never have more than a 30-40% load factor
+gaguy1967 These videos are of chartered flights on old aircraft that is no longer in regulare service with Air Koryo. These aircraft has been made especially available and chartered for these aviation enthusiasts in the video.
Si je comprend bien, AIR KORYO, censée être la Cie Nationale aéronautique Nord Coréenne, sert exclusivement à trimbaler les quelques touristes en villégiature dans le Paradis du rejeton de feu Kim Jung Il. Quant à la population Nord Coréenne, elle n'a qu'a se déplacer en vélo.
+Maxwell M. They have Tupolev Tu-204-200 and Tupolev Tu-204-300 from 2007 / 2010 and Illusjin 76 from mid 90's. Also Antonov An-148 from 2009. The older aircraft like the Il-62 and the Tu 154 and Tu 134 are no longer in regulare service with Air Koryo but are offered for chartered services like this aviation enthusiast group.
Fun fact about 14:38. It's all a set up. All those people are actually just pretending to go places and have no actual place to go. Thats basically their job. To set up a false impression of NK. Those people come out and do the same routine everyday. The saddest one was 14:45 they are dressed to go to school but they actually are just there to take a train and come back and do it all over gain. Lastly 15:10 was pretty sad, that little girl is not really going anywhere and neither is the guy. All a goddamn act to feed propaganda to tourists.
That doesn't actually sound like too bad a gig tbh... Get paid to ride around on classic old trains and planes, then start heading somewhere and come back later? I'd do it.
Forget who runs the air service, those aircraft that are still flying are a testament to the maintenance crews that keep them in flying shape.
Pyongyang airport is the best museum of Russian aviation.
Soviet and post-Soviet *
Ha Ha ^^
As a Russian these our planes that they were built in ussr are good

Old or not, the AN 24 is a damn reliable plane
all of this aircraft are in perfect shape !

Well, they are definitely kept in very good condition but you can't say the same about the runway.
@@RevolutionarySM Its Kinda Sad
AN 24 is great plane. I was one of the late flight attendant who served on AN 24 MIAT MONGOLIAN AIRLINES till 1999 .
Kim Jamsran an 24 soviet plane
Fantastic
How was IT working for MIAT?
Kim Jamsran but many an 24s operating for the airline crashed
Nice video, very interesting to see vintage planes in good condition and flying. Oh and the music was lovely.
Какие чистые и ухоженные самолёты! Какое бережное и уважительное отношение к технике!
Unbelievable how well maintained this vintage beauty looks!
BEST REVIEW EVER SAM!!!

I agree (with the flight attendant comment).

14:06 OMG that plane is smiling

Which makes it about the only thing smiling in pyongyang.

Even in headphones over youtube i feel how loud the planes are

Unfortunately it's just visually
Tu 134 is out of this world, soviet engineering is amazing

The condition of the airplane is way better than the ones operated in former SU.
This is Kuznetov Nk-8, not Soloviev D-30
Great promotional video, really enjoyed this!
6:40 c'est normale que l hôtesse tourne sa tête a droite et que la seconde après il film dans la même direction ?⚠️
Love the vids Sam keep up the great work
Хорошие и надёжные самолёты. И корейцы молодцы.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Learnt some more things about North Korea.
AIR KORYO FLIGHT ATTENDANTS HAVE NICE LEGS!
της aegean είναι καλύτερες 😂
I wonder what kind of maintenance these guys have for these old birds? Must be fairly competent considering these planes are still in service.
SMaze17 They Have Bar Maintenance For Their OLD PLANES OF BARS AIR KORYO IS OLD LIKE PING JAHN UMENG!!!!
How he shared the video if TH-cam isn't allowed in North Korea.... just asking?
Pat Duenas Maybe he was a TOURIST?
Mr. Chuck an expert in soviet planes he told sam that Tu134 was nicknamed rocket because it was used to train jet pilots of soviet army
a completely different salon. light, with lamps and luggage racks
Hello Sam, it was another amazing series from you. Thanks for your sharing. Is it a special tour for spotters or else? because of nobodies stops you while taking picture! I tought, taking picture is strictly prohibited.
Yes, it was a special Aviation Tour.
If you want to ask more drink or more food give grime to flight attendant (100$).
Sam Chui Can you only fly with Air Koryo when you go to North Korea? Great video I enjoyed it .
Fly the friendly skies of North Korea!! Air Koryo, "The only way to fly!!!"🤣
Seat belt sign can't turn off?
Completely fascinating!!!
Sam, just imagine 'AvGeek' Airline! It would have every kind of passenger plane available from the Douglas Dakota to the A380!
hey sam, did you get to fly the tu-154 ? if they still use them of course..
hi sam another great video! do they use mostlo older planes and what are their newest models they fly? these props are rugged and long lasting! best rob.
It's scary to fly such old planes, but korean pilots are damn professionals!
