If you took 4 of those home you could probably get one to fly. great job guys -- you let me travel during lock down
Yes amazing not sold off
Gerry Moersdorf be a good restoration project with that many available parts
@@leefithian3704 yas aint thinking ya never would get them flying again cause they are all missing the main components hence decommissioned and could almost garuentee they woukd all b missing the same parts
Thanks a lot for watching Gerry !
@@scottloersch555 no engines. They are worth scrap and thats about it.
I like the gloomy 70s-80s Cold War feeling...the eerie sense of the world being on the brink of Apocalypse...
Nice editing.
@Cory_da_cat Nah...it's not the same.
It's really sad to see all these just rotting away. You'd think that someone would try to restore some of them or try to salvage something of them. Great video content!!! Awesome job guys!
i dont think aluminum can rot away just saying
It’s like buying a used car lol just cause the body doesn’t have rust doesn’t mean the engines not bust
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wonderful video, thanks for sharing. I am surprised that the defunct IL-76s are guarded while so many equally defunct L 29 Delfins and Mil Mi 2's are kept in the open, free for anyone to visit.
Aero L 29 Delfín were made in former Czechoslovakia.
Cool :)
Amazing filming and editing!! Always a pleasure to watch...!
I know these Aero L-29 Delfin trainer aircraft well. I own and fly one that came from Romanian Air Force. These in Ukraine are now junk because they were not properly stored. They are not worth fixing or the cost of shipping them. Maybe a few useful parts but not much. When stored outside they have to be covered by a tarp or rain and snow comes in around the canopies. The rubber seals around the canopies cannot be kept full of nitrogen in storage, so they are not sealed. The water collects in the bottom and rots the wiring, electrical power inverters, and all of the hydraulic and nitrogen lines. Eventually the bottom of the aircraft rots. The moisture also ruins all of the instruments and electrical equipment in the cockpits. The sun has ruined all of the plastic canopies and windscreens. No new canopies or windscreens are available. Making new canopies and windscreens is possible but too expensive. All of the engines in these will be bad from sitting outside for over 20 years. There are about 100 L-29s in the USA and a flying one in good condition costs about $40,000. Sometimes one can be bought for much less if it needs some work. They are a real bargain except for the almost 200 gallons per hour fuel burn. Some people change the stock engine to a more powerful Rolls-Royce Viper engine or Pratt&Whitney JT-12 for air racing. A L-29 with JT-12 won the 2019 Reno Air Races jet class. Check out my youtube video "Rick's jet flight in L-29 Viper powered jet", flying in a friend's Viper powered L-29. Mine will get a Viper engine soon.
Trainers, I thought so.
When I see jets parked like this I think of all the mechanics and crew chiefs who worked countless long hours to keep them safely flying. Now the thing they took pride in sits rotting and forgotten. It's sad. Hopefully a few of them will fly again some day.
dave791 the jets just can't keep up with the fast pacing technology. They got decommissioned and replaced with new ones. Few of them got restored and able to fly again but again, stored in a museum with proper maintenance.
@@armouredkawaii6248 "While newer versions are now replacing older L-39s in service, thousands remain in active service as trainers, and many are finding new homes with private warbird owners all over the world. It has been claimed that the L-39's desirability stems from the fact that it is "the only available second-generation jet trainer".[23] This trend is particularly evident in the United States, where their $200,000-$300,000 price puts them in range of moderately wealthy pilots looking for a fast, agile personal jet." its one of the most desired small jets in the US.
@@armouredkawaii6248, they was used as cheap reliable trainer jet to the end of 90'. Mechanics actualy like these planes, the same as pilots.
I am from Morocco, I liked your TH-cam content and I encourage you ❤️
Welcome to Spain
Brilliant explore video. Definitely getting a Tarkovsky - Stalker vibe. I also like how you linger with the camera on the planes allowing the viewer to see more detail. I kept looking [in the video] for a latch or whatever mechanism holds the cockpit canopy closed.
Curious to see what happened...! Had been thinking of becoming a Patreon for a long time.. Now, I finally did so!
You seem to be one of the few that know that these slower panning/still shots are the way to see all the fine details, I love that! Mixed with some point of view/walking/vlogging parts.. it's perfect :)
Thank you and keep doing what you do! ^.^
what happened
Fantastic work guys! pandemic is putting any of my plans on hold so having such high quality content like this to watch is really helping getting through the lock-down. Really appreciate the hard work and great locations👍
So sad, those birds newer fly again!
well at least they had their glory days...check out the cruiser ship Ukrayina. it didn't even leave the shipyard, just sat there for 3 decades.
@@edison7300037 :(
Old Soviet soldiers standing in line waiting to be recalled to duty
в советской армии солдат небыло. были военослужащие. солдаты только в итальянской армии найомники которым платили сольды.
Awsome! Always looking forward to your videos! Keep em coming.
Next time guys rent a 4 wheel drive 😂
Lada Niva 👍
The first jet aircraft designed and manufactured in Czechoslovakia.
4:52 Good thing about steel wheels! If they had been magnesium or aluminum you would have been screwed. 10:15 Scrap aluminum is worth only about $400 per ton - so they sit and rot. 10:39 DOSAAF (Russian: ДОСААФ), full name Volunteer Society for Cooperation with the Army, Aviation, and Navy (Russian: Добровольное Общество Содействия Армии, Авиации и Флоту), was a paramilitary sport organisation in the Soviet Union, concerned mainly with weapons, automobiles and aviation.
спорт это маска прикрытие. а на самом деле тут проходили службу в армии по призыву летали на самолётах вертолётах по окончании становились на военский учёт через каждые 3 года летом на три месяца военные сборы и присвоение очередного офицерского звания до капитана или майора
Just over a 1000 USD in North America for 1t of aluminium as of today. I don't remember it ever going for so little as $400.
@@tomk3732 That was the price the day I googled it. I don't know what quality aluminum that was.
This channel is definitely in my top 3 favorite exploring channels you go to so many great locations. Keep up the hard work.✌
What are the other 2?
@@sllimfej exploring with Adam's and the secret vault.
Brandon Steinbach 420 thank you, I’m going to check those two channels out! 😀
@@sllimfej Mine are Broken window theory and The Proper people
this is czech jets ,,Delfin,, - Dolphin ....training jet ......
Yes : L 29 DELFÍN
Not just training. Used in combat alot
@@wkeil1981 Hmmmm - where exactly? Libya?
these L-29's are super rare now. Sad to see them fade away.
Thank you for this interesting film of Ukrainian Jet Fighters. Must have been amazing to be there. Plus those things poking out the Iced Lake. Good shot.
From Craig Lee.

This is the coolest youtube channel I've watched in a long time!!
Jan has done a few programs like this for Danish TV as well as a series where him and a mate visit some of the lowest rated hotels and turist sites in Albania, Egypt, Ukraine, Georgia and one more that I've forgotten. He's a great guy! :)
Synes nok jeg kunne genkende det fjæs!
I wold not recommend to go to ukraine right now if u want just to help out as volunteer not explorer city like chornobyl .
Hopefully after the war someone takes a interest in preserving their military history all the leftover surplus would make for awesome restoration projects especially from the kids and grandkids or the ones who assembled the aircraft or designed them at the least.
What a beautiful athmosphere you have put down, those images and music, damn! Now I really can't wait to go on an adventure again....
I've seen those giant those giant excavators in the Stalker p.c game!
The airbase, the terrain and buildings, everything shades of depressing grey looks just like it does in the game too. It's just missing the mutant zombies.
At least if you get caught you can tell them you work for Bohemia Interactive
Tina Stormcaller lol
wasnt expecting this kind of reference here
Jesus, I've never seen one, but everyone there has one of those rim straightening machines.
Why bother fixing the roads when you have one of those every few feet.
"Rim straightening"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 boy they are putting the old tire in a new rim
Yea very few workshops here have machines for that. Usually a replacement job if its that bad.
Love it, true skills to keep the people moving.
Just spent $75 to replace a rim here in southern utah, usa. could've used one for sure!
I've never seen one of those either, the tire machine looks almost like one I use every week, in some cases daily though. I wonder if they're even sold here, at least in any quantity.
Matt Woodruff don’t worry. The hours labor to fix the rim would be more than 75$
best urbex vlog ever! ga zo door jongens
Excelente video
Ukraine has been at the very top of my want-to-visit countries for a couple of years now. I still have to save up a bit before that happens though.
asdsdjf asdjxajiosdqw just go. I lived there for 6 months. It’s very cheap too life.
You can buy an airworthy L-29 stateside for around $30-40K US.
wiki says 200k - 300k.
Wrong price - L-29 in USA is about $30K - 40K. The newer L-39 type is about $200K - 300K. I own both kinds. We bought 25 L-29's from Romania for $2,500 each about 10 years ago in much better condition than these junk ones in Ukraine. I have looked at these in Ukraine and they are not worth the shipping cost even if they were free.
@@rickprindle3971 why did you buy that many. You starting your own army. Lol
Hello from 🇬🇧
Should have made a sponsorship deal with a tire/wheel manufacturer :D
At least the conditions were right for perfect testruns :D
lol - i thought i had the worlds worst luck when getting flat tires but I think you guys beat me... absolutely LOVED the drone footage at the beginning of the video. you made me feel like I was flying.
I'd love me one of those!
Cool. Just went recently to Hungary and saw 2 dozen old MiGs... Sweet!
Yeah, we went there in 2012 and 2018... Lots of people went after we published a video about it.
Frozen lake drone shots 👉 EPIC >!!!!
You can probably make a whole video with changing tires. Lol🚗
Cool is jan elhøj from Danmark, what a good surprise, say hello from me 💪🏽😎
Will do haha🤗
Not the first video on here he has been a part of..
Jan have also made his on TV mini series of abandon places on Dr TV.
I can imagine flying in one of those would be so awesome.
Crazy how it all came down to one day, where they parked the planes, locked the gate, and then all left.
Ive been thinking about that too.. wondering what was the reason ehy they stopped doing it
Very cool episode
Thats beautiful Graveyard full of -L-29 C manufactured in Czechoslovakia am Working on jet like this but reconnaissance version and Bringin it back to the Life (L-29-R)
Wow crazy !
Wow!!!! 🇧🇷👊🏻
You guys make awesome videos. You and two more (The Proper people and Broken Window Theory)
How does this channel not have over 500k subscribers!
Have you also seen some other videos? spread the word if you like us :)
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath I've been binge watching for days now and have shared my favorites with others.
*Great content!* I know the current global situation has slowed things down a bit for you but i look forward to when things get back to normal and you can get back out around the world to bring us more.
@@jamstagerable Thanks a million for that! I've got 250.000 pictures and a lot of older footage, so I can move on until we can travel again...can't wait ! So many trips got cancelled last-minute this year. Lost a lot of money :(
Wow 🤩
You guys deserve more followers
I wanna see someone get one to fly. This waste is crazy!
Really cool and unique video man, thanks!
Beautiful place
Yes.. I wonder how it looks now🥺
Wow the whole country is a giant supermarket for junkyard mechanic, my kind of place
I would love to join these guys for a week
That's a mountain of spare parts. All the engines seem to be missing, though. Most of the wheels look flat, too. Maybe when the weather gets better someone from the airforce can get a volunteer team to de-weed the place a bit. Maybe get 1 to actually work? :)
Lol the Start Reminds me so much of the film EuroTrip!!!!!!
A sad sight, all those L-29's, here in the US people would buy them. These countries should consider seeing if it was possible to sell them here, and if so restore some to flying condition and do so. The airport near me has a couple shops that restore aircraft, among them Mig 21's, L-29 and 39, Fouga's, CAF T-33's and others. Once a year there's also the air races.
This made sense maybe 25 years ago. They are worthless now. L-39 is too much of a an airplane for amateurs to fly on.
@@petr7694 Being as one of the shops that was refurbishing them is near me,a nd I worked with one of their former techs, he said the L 39's that came in needed all the avionics and often engines upgraded to make them safe for this country. And definitely not a plane for amateurs to be flying at all. But that goes for any jet powered aircraft anyway, as well as twin engine aircraft.
I think can keep few in good possible working condition and recycle rest( that material can be put for a good use again with current technology by eliminating the rust)
Me fascinan sus videos espero suban pronto sobre los pocos Bunker existentes, saludos desde el Puerto de Veracruz Mexico.
The driver should of went to specsavers he might of seen the potholes then
haha STRAYA
David Ghaemi it's 'have' in 'should have' not 'of'.
* should have gone
* might have seen
Every time there is some one to guard the abandoned things 😮
Cool Video, like it a lot👍
How many millions wasted on these aircraft. I want one to bring home
Capitalist US is just as bad/worse
похоже это аэродром Широке возле города Запорожье, бывший Центр летной подготовки имени Покрышкина
Very nice.
Great episode! I fear for the day when you don't have any back content left to show us, for obvious reasons. What an awful time to be alive, thank you for what you do for us while confined, fearing the very worst...
Don’t worry! I’ve got 250.000 pictures and a lot of shitty video footage. So much stories left to tell😀 working on epic places where I went many years ago without filming the complete adventure
Some collectors would be interested in getting one of those jets or holicoptors. I think USA has way more of old junk parked in thousands in deserts.
Persoonlijk vind ik het wel jammer dat jullie zo'n 'Kijk wat er fout ging op de patreon' achtig idee doen...
Elhøj!
Time-stamp 0:18/14:50 ...what video shows this round concrete structure on the ice mtn ?
Thanks
th-cam.com/video/lu3BPvPi6S8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xTVnvseCdPSooWOX our first episode ever online😂 haha
I have b=never seen a rim roller before. I guess our roads are better than Ukraine roads.
Super very nice video .u r channel opening music is awesome. Please. Send me music
I was on graveyard of aircrafts in spring 2016. Object was guarded by ukrainian army, but i deceived guard and succesfully inflitrated on them and took nice photos)
Hello, where is it located?
Those MI2s known as the Hoplites were rarely used by the NVA toward the end of Vietnam...
Shyroke Airfield, maybe?
Mooie aflevering weer! Konden jullie niet op het ijs oversteken naar die graafmachines? Dat zou ook een hele aflevering zijn :)
They’d probably start up with some fuel and new batteries
I wanted to take a plane like this for restorations
Why would the military care about some guys looking at some old Soviet broken cold war relic aircraft
You tell me 😂....
Because of vandals and thiefs
its not like they are going to steal them or something they are old and probably dont work
they forgot to include the pot hole detection system with that car
I like the part that u guys were found the air crafts....
So what happened next ?
He won't tell us. You have to become patreon for that
Thenk you for this video. But why you not drone vork ?
Beautyfull😍😍😍😍😍
Man, you guys should have used the excavators in the ice as the thumbnail, at least as interesting as the planes.
great video wow.
Amazing
I wonder if any of these could be fixed to fight the russian invasion.
No it's scrap metal. Moreover, 2-3 generations are powerless against 4 and 4 ++
You ever remember the begining of Close Encounters when the fined the squadron of old lost fighter planes, thats how this feels.
Brasil!!!!
Increible
...and we thought the pot holes in Michigan were bad...
i feel bad about the ford fiesta, you should have got a ranger instead on those roads !!:))
I think Shiey has explored that mining site as well
First seen this in the you tube video of Shiey
Aero L-29 Delfin Dolphin Jet Trainer from the 1950's
I’d love to have a bit of backstory to these planes and see inside them
FORD = Found On Road Dead 😂 love your videos!
1980s called, they want their joke back
graet video
