I love historic aircraft at air shows, its awesome to see them brought out of retirement and flown around.
William Seroyer although some of these aircraft is still used by North Korea
Funny guy.
No shit sherlock you don't say. Ever heard of sarcasm?
William Seroyer lol that's their best equipment. to them it's new.
William Seroyer Are they not meant to fly?
a 'modern' air-show in a time-warp -- still you can't beat the screams of these old birds
nice flying museum. Collection of rare antiques.
@@Player_Spino They are capable with upgrades, I have to wonder if these North Korean ones even have modernization packages with them, or if they are old hand-me-downs.
Its from kil ilsung😂

Don't insult them bro. These are futuristic north Korean technology 😱😱😱😱😱😱 which will face the US army !!!!!!
the best parts are Russian airliners lowpasts. It was realy rare moments to seen flyable Tu134 anymore. Tu154 was amazing and "reverse in the air" of IL62 was very impressive. Enginer roars of IL76 likes a symphony of russian engineering. Those planes counts decreasing day by day and we shouldn't be get chance to see them soon.
Thanks Mr.Chui.

hakan737 do these planes contain asbestos.?
b787 reverser is based on the same principle, stop writing bs
@@samuelrs5138 Wrong. The engines don't "spin backwards". The turbine operates the same way as it does in flight. Reverse thrust is when the thrust is redirected (usually more sideways than towards the front of the engine). Hence you'll see the clamshell-like scoops on the rear of engines in older jets unfold. In most airliners, you'll see the cowling slide back, and a whole bunch of square-lookin' holes. Same concept.
I to was suprised to see a Tu134 didn't know they still exist
I do have to say that the IL-62M is a beautiful aircraft.
It sounds beautiful as well.
reminds me of the DH 106 Comet
It reflects the Cold War
Jordan Jackson ? How so?
It’s nice to see a different style of plane compared to our cookie cutter options.
One of the coolest videos on the web, this is beautiful!
Thank you for putting this together, Sam!
6:22 I like the wheel at the back of the plane
That’s the parking gear.
That's to prevent tail strikes on takeoff and landing.
Cmdr_Johnpooky84 Tail gears aren’t that long. That’s the parking gear.
same here.
Those soviet airliners were great! The MiG-21 landing was very entertaining. :)
It is common landing procedure for MIG-21, you can check other videos. But it have too high landing horizontal speed even in this way.
Ok, thanks for the info.
9:39, that was a terrible landing
Complete with tail strike.
Male driver. look at the number on her aircraft. She flew #53, the tail striker was #42.
Yeah, ouch! He'll be pulling KP and peeling onions for a looong time.
I think it is normal landing for MIG-21, while it almost have no wings - huge vertical speed
Calvin Denali
The cameraman was told it was a female pilot before they took off. They couldn't know ahead of time of a rough landing unless she was a newbie pilot. Worldwide, women tend to be good airplane drivers.
Dear Sam, thank you so much for sharing this footage with us. I am already excited seeing those beauties on video and can hardly imagine how amazing the live experience must be.
Sam Chui, you are a great Ambassador for the people who enjoy flight videos. The love of flying crosses all borders.
wow mig 21 was in my country in 1960s :D
vietnam?
saul martinez Czechoslovakia :P
MIG 21 variants were in production until 2013.
We have ours shown as an antique wreck in Air Force Museum of Indonesia
r0k4k The aircraft had a extremely long production run. Modernized variants are comparable to the F16. Say what you want about it's age but with modern avionics its a effective Mach 2.0 missile bus.
Absolutely beautiful pieces of aviation history. Nothing beats vintage Russian birds!
Maxwell yes, but certainely nkt worth north korea... i could die there for making a complaint or not saying their pledge.
A Super-Connie does
Except vintage American birds!
@@soughtbug Russia birds still better made of Stalinium
@@paulboswell5719 Yet just one is flying, and it isn't in the US.
Probably some of the only footage of NK fighters on youtube.
7:00 That IL-76 sounded so amazing!
7:27 this is the best sound for airplane engines
That mig 21 landing hurt to watch
жопой об планету ударила
I believed his family and him already been executed
It's called a ryanair landing in my country. I don't know what it called in north korea.
@@jessielesbian6791 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
It was flown by a women maybe less experienced
TU 134 and TU 154 are elegant aircraft! Great video - Sam - thank you so much!
He almost fucked that MiG 21
Yup - to the point where you can actually see the sparks from the tail drag.
+Warren Lauzon not he but she
It's actually a different plane. Check the numbers on the body.
Yeah but can also see how rugged the landing gear is on the soviet jets, they put an enourmous amount of emphazis on the durability of landing gears in soviet aircraft during that time.
Yeah, they have to because most of their airports are chuck holes and dog tracks.
2:05 going to school
2:29 going home
air koryo seem to have painted their aircraft in a new livery
they had money for paint????
covothedalek it's a 3D plane and they just expand it
They do because the military sucks 40% of the GNP from the N. Korean economy. Just look at Google Earth Inside N. Korea and that place is like a fortress, albeit a lot of vintage defenses, but if their ground to air defenses are up to speed, then they would be tough.
yes since 2010 in fact
of course,the dprk are exporting their commodities to the world
Looks like they picked up most of those aircraft from CrAzY Chekov's Antique Soviet Air Emporium!
Hater!!
But still beautiful birds.
rwdplz1 😂😂😂😂 Sounds like a legit soviet plane shop
Due to sanctions from west they can not buy modern Aircrafts from west.
I am not sure that they even have the money to do that either....
And moderns russian civil aircrafts does not really exist, not with technical high standard anyway.....
@@voderick actually it does exist
Russia makes great jets and commercial aircrafts
The new Sukhoi Superjet 100 is a new aircraft design with carbon fiber fuselage I think
The MiG-21 landing at about 9:40 in the video looked really bad. Almost a tail strike.
Almost?
That's what happens when you get 5 hours a year of flight time
I bet that was the female pilot. She's probably in a concentration camp now being "re,educated"
I'm afraid she's gonna get executed for that.
it isn't the female pilot, she was flying on "53", not "42"
The story of how they got those MD500's is insane. W/O too much detail the parts were built like 200 Miles south of where they are now...and literally traveled around the World to get to them
There goes their fuel for the rest of the year.
ISuckAtThinking OfAUsername h
That was alot of fuel !
1 million people will have to use only candle light for 6 months just for this little show......

Nice video. Beautiful planes.
Good old aviation, when planes really made some noise :)
FSXNOOB - GᗩᗰᕮS & ᗰOᖇᕮ The Il-62 was by far my favourite in the show. Dang that scream was heavenly!
WoW! Sam Chiu always shows something amazing ... I love your vids of flights because you travel and document routes that hardly most ppl consider exploring... :-P
This is quite a rare airshow!
Thank you for the video!
All planes are magnificent in my opinion. If it flies, it's a success, haha!
But really, these Soviet planes are a real treat. I haven't had the chance to see them in an airshow in person, but I hope I can change that fact.
I squealed so hard when the Su-25 showed up!
5:46 that landing was so smooth the pilot didn't notice he landed
Not as like 9:40 :D
I enjoyed your video very much. The Il-62M that was flying in the air show was my 1st North Korean airliner I ever saw back in August 1992. I had a city break holiday in Berlin & popped over to SXF [ East Berlin's Schonefeld Airport].
Great to see P-885 in such good nick. According to a Russian website it was delivered to North Korea from the factory in June 1979 as '885' & first noted by Western plane spotters at SXF [E Berlin] on 12/8/79. It was later registered P-885 sometime before April 1987 when 1st noted as such at Paris Orly airport.
It appears the North Korean's have only had 5 Il-62's [ 1 crashed '889' in 1983 ] with 2 in airline service [P-885 & P-881 ] & 2 on VIP duties [ P-618 & P-882 ] including the CHAMMAE 1 all white VIP model that's been seen a lot on TV including on the 9/2/18 visit to Seoul for the Winter Olympics/N-S negotiations.
If anyone knows more on this or about which aircraft is the CHAMMAE 1 VIP a/c then please make a comment - on TV & in photo's it seems to display no registration.
The time I saw it in 1992 I'd checked the SXF airport airline schedules from the printed OAG travel agent's guide [no web then] & North Korean even 2.5 yrs after the end of the Berlin Wall still had a scheduled flight to SXF once a week. Loads of people told me it wasn't regular but very much an ad-hoc visitor, if at all - a "phantom" schedule. I turned up & sat on the SXF viewing terrace, not much to see at all apart from an ex Interflug IL-18 by new cargo airline Berline.
Past Korean scheduled arrival time [ up to March 1992 they had been called CAAK & only just changed to Air Koryo ] - the SXF arrivals board still had flight on it, I asked at the information desk but they had no idea, like its up there every week but it doesn't show up very often. I went back to the viewing terrace, finally it was about 90 mins over scheduled arrival time & I had to get back to my wife who'd let me off on a plane spotting visit for the afternoon & was probably thinking I'd be late. I thought well that's it just a "phantom" schedule & was literally turning to leave the terrace & airport when I spotted a smokey trail to my left & an Il-62 on approach to SXF r/w 25R.
Wow ! P-885 touched down in front of me & whistled out of sight down the runway. I nervously waited to hopefully see it backtrack to the terminal, rather than go & park out of sight, & after c 6-7 minutes of nervously holding my camera gear & binoculars it appeared taxing to the Terminal. A stack of local Germans who probably didn't know it was a fairly rare visitor wandered casually over to view it, probably thinking why is that guy clicking away like mad with his camera taking a load of photo's. Anyhow P-885 nosed in to the Terminal & ended up facing me I had a good view from c 25m away & on a higher elevation. So gamble paid off. I'm uncertain when Air Koryo ended that scheduled flight - I believe it was shortly after or by 1994, they also shut down flights to Prague & Sofia which I think were even more ad-hoc than Berlin. Then the closest place in Europe to view a "scheduled" Air Koryo IL-62 flight was Moscow.
Il 62 is the coolest. Tu 134 is next.
What's good of DPRK...they've got some of the oldest jet airliner in service.Never see them before as a Millennial,thx for this video Sam
I like the new Air Koryo livery.
Dortsingans Dradinedum Not that I am arguing, but I prefer the older livery with the slanted rectangular flag... much like Aeroflot during the final years of the USSR and the interim scheme with the flag of the Russian federation.
Yeah, you're right. I prefer the new livery more but that doesn't mean that I don't like the old one ;) Both are very classic and nice looking.
Both look better than the new Air Canada one.
Ngl The older livery is better because it includes the North Korean flag on the line of windows leading from Buisness class to economy class;)
Yep. The north korean has "modern and advanced" air units lol
but they got nuclear weapons, has your country?
+Mikail Von Schtupp - -totally agree NK should've been gone by now
+Mikail Von Schtupp - -totally agree NK should've been gone by now
at least for them
especially mig-21
I'm guessing this is the entire airforce of North Korea? That's pretty good for a small collection.
Looks like an airshow straight out of the USSR 30 - 40 years ago.
thanks sam
Seeing planes with turboprops they're so beautiful
Il 62 such a good looking plane. Would love to be next to that rear window on take off and landing. Thanks Sam.
It feels lika an airshow from very 60s ... Exept for new helicopters or whatever
I hate North Korea but I just love the airplanes that they fly
Managed to catch the IL62M in Singapore when the summit happened, truly beautiful
The first one was great. Soviet version of the DC-7 which in turn was last built in 1958.
Living museum.
they are flyıng and usefull..ımportant thıng ıs thıs..
How on earth did they get those Hughes 500s?

Flying
please explain
Hammer2787 they asked a third party country to order them
I know I posted a link. I was asking the guy who said "flying"
The MIG 21 is known for being notoriously difficult to land. They land very fast, due to the wing design. Most that land them say you have to flare them at an exact right time or one of two things happens...you hit the runway hard, or you stall nose high and again...hit the runway hard. It's an old ass airplane that was built to be fast in the sky, not good on landing. Hope they didn't execute the pilot for it.
be proud that the airline is a 1-star company
u know your aircraft's old (and awesome) when it's made by a country that doesn't exist anymore
yall need to stop shitting on north korea all the time, this was actually really cool
Thanks Sam. This is amazing. Great footage as usual!
The plane at 4:42 is a PAC P-750 (a New Zealand-built plane).
Congratulations to the Democratic Republic of North Korea for their first Classical Airplanes Show. Also congratulations to their first female fighter pilot.
And the last
I would seriously like to know how they got those Hughes MD500's (4:07 - 4:41). That is an American aircraft, and as such it is illegal to sell them to DPRK. Also I feel so sorry for all the folks in the audience (4:15 - 4:28) who didn't notice that the camera was on them, thus weren't waving and clapping like crazy. We all know what happens to folks in NK who don't show the proper amount of enthusiasm/awe & wonder/grief/whatever emotion is called for by the State.
lisarenee3505 Either purchased from a 3rd or 4th party that can or has purchased from the US, or possibly reverse-engineered copies.
juk read alexander comment they were bought by german company that buy from the America and the America build :) not rok copies lol that why the americans get so angry when they hear it in the 80s :)
lisarenee3505 a German arms dealer circumvented U.S. officials and sold them to North Korea.
Even though the DPRK acquired the Little Birds through sneaky means, I would not put too much stalk in their having them. After all, I only saw four (4) of them, they were surreptitiously acquired in 1985, probably get very little air time, and pose no threat to South Korea or the United States whatsoever. At least it verified what was always suspected, but never proven, that the DPRK actually has those helicopters.
lisarenee3505 that plane is a Soviet IL-76.
At 5:42 IL-62M thrust reverser deployed before touch down .
Very enjoyable video to watch . Thanks .
So many cool old planes on display! Wonder if they have any new ones?
Yes they got Tupolev Tu-204's:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-204
just enjoy the show and stop talk about politics lol
nice airshow and the aircrafts are superb :)
Long life to friends from Korea !!! Support from Serbia!
Wonderful airshow. I want to go there and see it. The Tu-154 is my favorite, a very beautiful aircraft.
I wish people would stop slagging down North Korea. They are doing something positive and this is their very first air show. Give them credit they ain't hurting anyone. Who cares if their planes are out-dates. They still put on a great performance. People have nothing better to do that take the mick these days.
Because you sureely know how it works
Abiezer Coppe the Nazis had concentration camps. Guess what. The DPRK has them too. Nazis were probably nicer to their population
Bradley Royer-Collard thank you, had to go down far to find atleast a nice comment..
>first female pilot
>tailstrike
Maybe there is some truth to it afterall...
it was the other mig, not the female. look at the number on the side.
it was a joke buddy
being offensive is... funny?
No one can possibly be offensive, people can only be offended. Offense is taken, not given.
The power of NK feminism!
probably the cleanest airplanes in the world, the TU 154 has engines unlike any I’ve ever seen fly, they have internal reversers and don’t smoke, in addition to frontal openings in the bypass, I didn’t know this version of the engine
That il-76 looks like it got delivered yesterday. So clean.
Mig-29's are possibly the only "Modern" aircraft the norkies have
William Stryker I believe they have a couple Su-27s too.
The pigeons are more modern...
Flugzeug Dokus I meant fighter aircraft
Jonathan Sefcik no they’ve never ordered em. Doubt China plans to sell them any
And that nz trainer plane at 4:44
How about a Pyongyang-Damascus-Havana-Caracas route on Ty-154?
Add in Harare.
Ok I'm in! I am buying tickets!!
Will we receive free mystery meat burger Air Koryo with cheese?
Of course!!!
Add Belgrade!! Capital of Non-Alligned word!
The sound that these old jets make is such a joy to listen to! I live in Helsinki and miss the sound of old soviet era tu-134, tu-154 and an-22 visiting the airport back in the days. I also have to mention the cv-990 Coronados that Spantax flex, they made a lot of noise and smoke! Modern jets sound like hairdryers..
Wonsan is the second largest city of the north korea where passengers' airport is located in, following pyongyang the capital. But when we take a look at north korean airports and then compare those with south korean airports, it's like comparing shanty with upscaled building. nk is still living in 1980s except some streets in pyongyang.
North Korea: where civilian airliners taking off and landing is an air show.
Harv72b
It would be an airshow anywhere in the world if you could sit in the grass this close to the runway.
I wonder if they know the helicopters at 4:09 are american?
hughes 500d models.
Russell Oriely I thought they were little birds for a second
how the hell are they in north korea and being used by the north korean military
these vintage airshows are the best. it takes alot of work to keep these old birds flying, especially when their pilots do landing tail strikes like the famale mig pilot did...
Wow! Amazing video... Amzing show!!! I'd have loved to be there....
One South Korean F-15E Slam Eagle takes out their entire airforce
Bernie Boone I doubt that. Mig 29 is comparable to f-15.
jozko mrkvicka Sure, if flown by equally competent pilots. I highly doubt North Korean pilots, maybe trained a little by China, would come close to South Korean pilots trained by the US and other NATO countries.
Bernie Boone one Tie fighter is enough
A plane you filmed at 4.41 was not supposed to be in North Korea. www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=11721444 Made the news here in NZ
I'm guessing it's there for a similar reason those Hughes helicopters were there.
It is like watching a 4th of July parade in the USA....all of those 60-70 year old guys driving their antique 1950s-60s cars in between the floats and marching bands
The Il - 62 M is a beauty....I once flew CSK Airlines from Jakarta To Prag....in 1974 ..very noisy inside the plane Sam!........Great Video!!!
9:40 MIG-21 hard landing
A woman flew that lol but she achieved first Female pilot
what the hell? 9:39
i notice that the nose was pulled too high
fabinho zx
I thought the plane is about to get some altitude again ._.
Female pilot...
@blackeagle988
no, she was flying on "53"numbered mig21, not on "42" hard landed plane.
Old, but amazing planes !
Gretings from Warsaw 🤓
The stealth technology on these planes are the sky blue paint on their under belly. If the enemy looks up, all they will be able to see is the sky..
Mig-21.. straight outta Vietnam.
9:39 - And North Korea's last female pilot...
The Mig-21 flown by the female pilot was no.53, that one was no.42
Пилотам нужно тренироваться, это ясно как день. Вместе с тем, увидеть легенды авиастроения СССР в состоянии "блестят как у кота глазки" - бесценно. Это стоит уважения. Думаю, Ил-62м в лётном состоянии только у КНДР и остался.
The helicopter in 9:51 is Mi-8T, not Mi-17. Notice the tail rotor on the starboard side.
This whole event probably used up half they're fuel supply
Probably all of it
All of them flown at the same time by the Dear Leader Kim Jong-Un, who was also in the podium to watch the show!!!!
That sounds like North Korean propaganda
@@soughtbug IT IS.
That was AWESOME!!! Loved the Il-62!!! Thx for posting it, really enjoyed it ;-). Nate- Pittsburgh, PA
IL-18 brings back childhood memories from decades ago. How I was puking every time this noisy piece of machinery took off and landed. On a trip that had three stops.
10:23 Diarrhea?
brocanova LMAO🤣
Good one
HAHAHAHAHAHA
brocanova LOL
haha the crowd is propably unpaid actors....and they dind't even get chairs :D
Chairs are so South Korean

Air koryo is now my favorite airline
I liked the colour of the blades on the il-18 and an-24 and idk why
The mig-29 ans su-25 are also great
Those migs ain't shit to the f22 or f35 or even the f18
It's funny to me how North Korea thinks they are all good and everything but those aircraft they have are like third world country aircraft
They don't think there airforce are "all that". That is why they are acquired nuclear weapons and invested heavily in SAMs. More effective deterrent for development cost and development time than gen 5 fighters.

For small countries, destroying one fighter of the superpower country who attacked them is an achievment
north korea will go for war with air koryo :V :p :D and some crafts from the museum :p :V
What an interesting event, I would love to go and see those aircraft fly. Good luck if you repeat this show in 2017, I doubt there will be a shortage of people from many nations who would love to come and see you.
It’s nice to see that a country still cares for its old aircraft
5:43 The IL-62 pilot activates REVERSE THRUST before touchdown
9:39 was a horrible landing
Wow !!! 🐒 so impressed
wow, the landings were all perfect except for the fighter plane.
I would like to fly some of those, if I can get my hands on one.
