My uncle, brother of my grand mum, use to be the Lead of Romanian MIG15 Squadron, and he holds the absolute altitude record with this apparatus. He's also the only one, as my knowledge, to restart the engine in the air. Due to the radial turbo compressor, the engine needs a very long freefell before the pressure to allow a new startup. He died back in the mid 90's and he's name it was Gigi Dudu. I use to hangs with him some summers in my youth period, ...fixing he's red Dacia 1310 CN! :) A very nice and friendly guy. God rest him!

I went up in a MiG 15 20 odd years ago and I still remember every second of it. Learning how to combat G's with no pressure suit. It was a huge buzz. Got to fly it and do a barrel roll. Tough plane. Due to the angle of the wings, when it lands it causes ground effect and they literally have to dump it to get it on the ground. I remember the suspension bottoming out with a thud. Amazing day with Air Combat Australia
I flew in a -15 Ibis UTI in 1995 in northern California. Lots of work to maintain these birds.
Not a lot of room in cockpit if you're a tall person. Heavy on flight controls in flight I thought. Pretty neat experience.
@@831BeachBum Steering them on the taxiway is some fun
Every airplane has ground effect You just have to learn to write speed
@@Jatojammer
Ground effect is particularly dangerous with swept wing aircraft because the wingtips can stall, leading to a loss of aileron authority. If the stall worsens, the center of lift will shift to a point in which it's in front of the center of gravity, thus causing an unrecoverable pitch-up attitude at low altitude. The F-100 Super Sabre killed many pilots because by doing this "Sabre Dance".
speed
I was _stunned_ at 6:12 to see just how pristine the cockpit is! It probably hasn't looked that clean and scratch-free since it left the factory more than half a century ago. Usually, old aircraft will have scratches and dents on every conceivable surface of the cockpit. Fantastic work!
In our city, such a MiG 15 stands like a monument in the memorial park in my neighborhood. As children, we explored this plane inside and out. That beautiful smell of sun-warmed aluminum
Been waiting for this one. I love the early cold war jets. There's just something really cool about the last of the gunfighters.
for real!
The official Last of the Gunfighters was generally considered the Vought F8 Crusader. Four 20mm cannons

Matt Guthmiller on his TH-cam channel was flying a Mig 15 from 1954 a few days back good video to watch
I see that video and too was good, and a lot going on in the cockpit.
Ever see a Cougar...same Era? They look like they came out of the same Factory! Who made Who?
"Cougar" is the U.S.N.'s designation... There was one of our's called the "Panther". You hear alot about the mig- but not our Korean War Era U.S
Plane's.
@@akatripclaymore.9679 The Panther was the Grumman Grumman F9F-8 and the Cougar was the Grumman F9F-9. The Panther, the earlier model, first flew in ‘47 &, although I am an Air Force guy, I think it was the first operational carrier fighter. Just from its designation, you can tell the Cougar is a development of the Panther. The Panther was underpowered-like most early jets, but served in Korea mostly in ground support although it managed to down a MiG or two. The Cougar had swept-wings and a much stronger engine. It was introduced in the early to mid-fifties. Resemblence to the MiG-15 may be evident simply because of their post-war heritage. The US and USSR got a lot of jet tech from the same place- the Luftwaffe.
Does this Guy have Money to Burn?,and Does He even know how to fly?,Myself,I would Rather Own a North American F-86 Sabre Jet!,Just a Much Better Bird compared to it's Communist Rival!,in My Opinion!!!
That's the coolest warbird. The opportunity to acquire that jet or similar aircraft is becoming rarer and rarer, and very hard to come by. This may never happen again, and you can't lose by fixing it up if you can handle the dough necessary to fix and maintain. I say GO FOR IT.
I am 70 years old. I have not flown a plane since 1979. Just watching your Videos makes me feel YOUNG AGAIN, and your demeaner cracks me up!! My Filipino Wife Ana says I am grinning ear to ear when I am watching your Videos!!
Thanks Jimmy. There is something in every pilot that wants to keep these old birds flying. Appreciate your efforts in making it happen.
He's gesticulating like a maniac 😆
Looks like a fun toy!
Oh yeah!
@@therealjimmysworld don't make it a competition between the plane youtubers! really dont like your whole god complex in this vid. @rebuild rescue's 401 was outside for 17 years with nobody maintaining it! your MIG 15 has been sitting in a hanger with qualified people looking after it for years. so please i urge you to not be a stuck up ass about other people. furthermore your buying this MIG 15 that has been babied and got started up for you on the flip-side Jason earned that 401 with his bare hands (LITERALLY) and had to work out mostly everything by himself. stay in your own lane and see if you can help one-another out rather than trying to flex the plane so much that you come across as a horrible piece of work!
HAVE A GOOD DAY!!!!!
I have always loved that jet, its distinct contoured shape, lack of hard angled lines, speaks of vintage, though it does not look dated.
In case it hasn't already been pointed out, while this is a model of the better-known single seat MiG-15 "fighter jet", this particular sub variant is actually the two-seat trainer versiion.

I only flew one time. It was in the mid 70's. The lady was kind enough to give me a ride in her Piper Cub 62 (CF-OSI). It was so amazing that I was shaking from the sensory overload. I always wanted to be a pilot but, I suck at math so, I diverted my dream towards cars and small engines. Being afraid of heights came later on and, don't ask me where it came from. Jimmy's "youthful exuberance", is bringing me back when I was 12-13 years old, on that first and only flight.
Same. Suck at math and my vision sucks 😋
I think I gotta solution, ever tried microlights? You don't have to be amazing at maths to get one's license and it's relatively cheap. One of my instructors went and got his CPL and said he regrets not knowing about microlights sooner as he'd have gone straight for it. Furthermore if you can drive, then your vision is good enough.
I look forward to these videos. im 56, have 40 hours of training (20 hours, 2 times 22 years apart) and never went the extra mile for actual license because of deployments, money and what not. I was 14 when i did my first training in a 152. I ran out of paper money, took one hour lessons per month, and just short of soloing. Same thing happened later, except i went on deployment and never made it back in the seat for training more.
DEFINITELY but the MiG! The ultimate fantasy flying toy with real history to it. Whatever it takes, take it home!!!
What a gorgeous, gorgeous MiG!
Go for it Jimmy. You have Great Britain behind you here!
Assuming you fix the 310 completely, sell it for top dollar, you might get enough to take the jet around the airport once, assuming you could get it in flying condition. Good luck, Jimmy.
Buy it!!!! If you haven't already then you should, That's a timeless classic you will regret never taking this opportunity jimmy
wow what a dream. I think every little boy has dreamed of flying a fighter jet!!! Now youre one step closer!!! I think you 100% buy it. maybe a terrible decision! but your in position! and you only live once!!
I have years of experience with old migs... And they are great fun, as long as someone else is paying the bills. There are LOTS of MiG 15s for sale for a reason.
SERIOUSLY, go buy a nice L-39. Much cheaper to operate, much safer, and they don't have restrictive limits beyond which lies death, lol
I really hope you'll pass on the 15. Even go for a 17 if you really insist on an early MiG, but you will be so much happier in an L-39 or a Folland Gnat if you want supersonic.
Good luck. Check six.
I would imagine the MiG is one of those that requires many more maintenance hours than flight hours. If your goal is to have something to take to an airshow twice a year, that's probably great, but if you want to jump in it and go like you do with the lancair (Cameron? i forget the name), this ain't it. That said, if only for the epic videos we all get to watch, i hope you end up going for it anyway.
He said in the video the FAA developed a 100 hour maintenance schedule just for this aircraft.

Wow, MiG 15, the aircraft that changed the game.
Awesome!
It is such an elegant and purpose-built design. Pure dogfighter. Guns only. Upgrade avionics and power plant and it would still out-dogfight most jets in a guns-only battle.
As a former ARFF firefighter and Chief, thank you for the shout out… guaranteed you made that persons day. You’re a class act….BUY IT!!!
The Life, Journey, & Documentation of the Mig is amazing.
Awesome piece of functioning military aviation history.
The current owners offer a wealth of information & hands on experience which is priceless.
The modifications are very well executed & the updated systems adding redundancy are very well thought out
I really hope Jimmy is able to cut a deal with the fellas.
This already is exciting content.
Congrats in advance.

I live in Portland Oregon and I still haven't been there! Thank you.
My dad flew for flight craft in the 60s and then went to Air west, Hughes Air west and then ended up retiring from NW Airlines.

Get it!! Inspired to purchase a starter plane soon enough! Thanks Jimmy 🔥🔥🔥
You are living the Dream Jimmy. Would love to get a ride in that one. Owning, and operating it would be a fair bit out side my current financial capability.
We love everything you’re doing Jimmy! Keep it up!
Best line ever in a video...'They said my fire extinguisher was not adequate', holds hands up to show whole fire truck. Solved.
That spare Kilmov VK-1 engine in the trailer is a huge bonus.
From a DCS World player, the Mig-15 is one of the most overlooked planes (for some good reasons, but it's still awesome), and in my opinion the prettiest-sounding engine.
Well, after all, it is the British Rolls-Royce "Nene" engine, unwisely licensed by Duh UK to Duh USSR...
I love you Jimmy, but this MIG is going to be "Clear Wallet!!"
Great Job Jim👍🏼 Thats a real valueble one.
Sweet. A dream come true for us pilots. Enjoy.
I am so pumped to watch this video!!! Your videos are literally the best thing, they are so good!! Keep up the fantastic work!!!
Thank you so much!!
@I MISS THE 90s👍😎 Why do you keep spamming this stupid question that has no relevance to the video at all? Are you a bot? Either way, the dude isn't stupid so I *highly* doubt he's going to give you medical advice of any kind 🤣. Also, (if you're not a bot) why do you, a) Ask Jimmy that question out of anyone else you could ask? And b) Think he has some kind of "secret" for this? Hell, you should talk to a damn medical professional if anything. I really hope you're not a bot because I'm genuinely curious, and I just don't understand why someone would make a bot to specifically spam this absurd question to Jimmy. It just doesn't make any sense. I guess it doesn't make any sense either way though...
I do have to say, while it wont carry the whole family, I think you could make several trips back and forth to get them all and about break even on time. Definitely not on fuel.
for real!
Go for it buddy.
nice little aircraft ! I have seen one flying in Bournemouth England . keep them coming Jimmy we like watching you from the other side of the globe :)
Jimmy, that's how they replaced the engine on A-4 Skyhawks. Two huge bolts on each side loosened up and slide the rear back, on its rack, then there is great access to the engine itself.
Gotta love the “Scooter “ !!
How beautiful is that 15? Utterly timeless.
Go for it Jimmy!!
I remember seeing photos of this back in the 90's. It was in the air and with another fighter with the name of Sabredance on its fuselage. They were some great photos, very rememberable. It was a cool jet then and even better now, get it!
Two old rivals the F86 saber jet and Mig used to go to air shows I saw them Chase each other's tails low level pretty neat
As much as I wanna see you work on and fly this thing, I also remember (from immediate short-term memory) what an apparently fruitless and expensive disaster it was to try to get the 310 in the air. Plus, I really love your channel and so from a purely selfish perspective if nothing else (as a new fan and subscriber who loves your content) don't wanna lose you in a Mig-15 accident. 😬
@clhoyt - I agree with you on this... He can donate it to an aviation museum, that can display this amazing plane... Jimmy gets the Tax W/O for his other business ventures, the museum gets to properly display this historic plane, Jimmy has more time & resources to work on the 310, , and we can see many more episodes from Jimmy, as He and the MIG get to live, longer/happier/more productive lives, without going down in this amazing 70 y.o. fighter jet.
As much as Jimmy plays I think he is a serious pilot when it comes down to safety.
Ghey comment
IIRC, one out of four pilots died just trying to fly the thing.
Thank you for sharing.
Solid gold piece of aviation history.
Yes I can’t wait. My Sunday is complete, thanks for the awesome content always.
Enjoy!
4 years after "this" aircraft was built, the Tomcat took to the air. Wish you could find one of those for sale. Still it is awesome, and once ruled the skies.
Yeah, a bit sad they cut em all up to avoid parts going to Iran. There's some British F/A 18s flying still though.
20 years later.....
First flught of tomcat is in 1970 and mig 15 in 1947... 23 years
@@TzunSu 'British' F/A 18's?
I think not. That is an American aircraft, never required, not used by the UK.
@@rchelihaven5027 As in sold to private owners in the UK. Almost all the ones still kept in the US were scrapped intentionally to remove them from "the market".
That's "technically" not a MiG-15. That's a license-built Polish copy, a "PZL-Mielec SBLim-2." That specific aircraft was built in 1955, NOT 1966. The company that built it (PZL Mielec) is owned by Sikorsky, which is itself a subsidiary of Lockheed Martin. It last flew in July of 2016. It has NOT been "abandoned" and has not been grounded for 12 years.
Ahh Mielec my city🥰
5:51 "thunk" 😂🤣 when his foot hit the ladder 🤣😂
Yes, you should buy the Mig!! Then upgrade your license to fly jets and go have a ball!! Flying a Jet is another experience all together and I think you would love it!
A friend of mine that is a retired Pilot always tells us that every man needs a crane and a badger in his life ! i have both already, You Jimmy should go for the Mig and the Texan ! you NEED a Gas turbine and a radial for sure ! even Pastor Jim would approve !
Tell the wife, hide it for the pastor XD
or let the wifey have some fun with the pastor and all sins will be forgiven!
I love watching the good ol boys work on the Soviet plane lol.
I am super impressed with the amount of work with just relabeling everything to English.

Fantastic, Jimmy! Best parts of the video? The excitement of the crew! The king kong chest thump, and your smiles!
At the beggining of the video I was like "damn that Baron looks sexy" and Jimmy didn't dissapoint me at 11:08 showing her =)
Awesome Mig15!!!
Good morning, the first task was to change the oil and clean the crankcase and put synthetic oil with militec additive and also change the filters, then remove the spark plugs and start to have oil pressure and all oil present in the combustion chamber after putting new spark plugs, preferably iridium and torque according to the manufacturer's table and finally cleaning the fuel tanks then putting high quality gasoline and finally starting the engine. With this technique it will be perfect.
I’ve always found the early generations of mig fighters to be like works of art , gorgeous planes. Ahead of their time for that period of time.
No smoke, no flames weird considering you know what
Not really, MiG-15s don’t have an afterburner, so no burner plume, and lots of smoke on start typically only happens after an extensive amount of oil is placed in the engine to preserve it for long periods of time. For one of the first fighter jets, the MiG-15 actually burns fuel rather clean, so not a whole lot of smoke is trailed in flight. Google footage of the F-4 Phantom flying to see a plane that does not burn fuel very cleanly….
No, what?
Those centrifugal flow turbojet engines were rather fuel efficient once sorted out despite their portly girth. Have fun with it!
@@zachboyd4749 they do have afterburners
@@aj_2x170
No they don't, you're thinking of the 17. The MiG-17 did have an afterburner, but the MiG-15 didn't. The two are very similar in appearance, so it's easy to mix them up.
This is why I love the internet. I love this plane for some reason. Have model of it and RC also. thanks for the vid!! Was expecting to see a little mouse wearing the furry hat come out 😂
YES ….. BUY THAT MIG …. Such an AWESOME & Amazing Fighter Jet
Love the content man keep up the great work
Jimmy, there's a YT video, about a week and a half ago, of a full flight in a 1954 mig15.
Includes the instructor- brief, preflight, startup and flight. You should watch this & maybe take a ride before buying this.
Search Matt Guthmiller.
Pretty cool! Surprising it didn't blow up on start up. Of course you need to buy it!
You've got all the body language of "I'M LEVEL10K GEEKING T/F OUT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!"
Cant say as I'd be any different. This is a great historical treasure.
Awesome content. I grew up flying in a Beach F33, Piper Comanche 250 and an Alon Ercoupe and love to watch your adventures.
All we need now is a will it start F-14 video from Jimmy 😎😄😄. Love you videos, keep up the good work!!
You'd have to go to Iran for that one. None of the F-14s remaining in the US are close to intact
There are supposed to be ten F-14s at Davis-Monthan, two of these on the display row. From 2022 Maxar sat images you can see them between a Skyhawk and a Canberra. Pluscode: 54CX+CHG Tucson, Arizona, USA). Four more are parked here: 45W8+R2R Tucson, Arizona, USA. One more here: 5582+HFC Tucson, Arizona, USA. And finally, two partially scrapped and what looks like to be a canopy-section here: 45W9+G78 Tucson, Arizona, USA.

Epic jump at 5:50 :D
That MIGs got Jimmy written all over it! Definitely buy it! Love to see you fly it some day soon.
There is no better person to own this plane than you Jimmy :) Go for it
The thing you need to consider is the overall maintanence cost and the fact the engines are so very rare to come by and get certified.
But the youtube click value is priceless.

Me, a mechanic: "AHAHAHAHAAAAA, I mean....I guess???" I donno why I find this so funny but hey, it works! I'm just so used to having anchor points I can clip grounding cords to.
Wish you great luck with your new Mig, you lucky chap.😃
Congrats Jimmy on getting the JET running. sounds great. there's alot of upkeep to keep it running and flying. more tools to buy..
What’s up jimmy u and the crew are making great content keep up the good work
Thanks so much!
I love these old bird start-up videos...not a fire extinguisher in sight....
You didn’t see then big yellow fire truck that was there???
Love the channel growth! Keep it up Jimmy!
Jimmy, MiG-15s are a handful to own and fly. As for the 56TC Baron, it is the fastest Baron ever produced….and the most expensive to maintain and operate. It would give you the 200 knot aircraft you are looking for to fly at a mere 40-45 gallons per hour.
@@revelation13_9 remember PULL UP, pull up your knees first XD

Was this actually abandoned or very carefully stored? That cockpit looks immaculate!
So beautiful! What a catch! Watching you in anticipation, like a little kid, is awesome. Cause that's how I felt. Subbed!
You’re an inspiration!
However, MiG is an entire hustle to fly and maintain versus an L-39.
Just saying. You have fighter jet options.

love this guys energy
I have to see this. Starting an old Lycoming is one thing, an ex British Soviet turbojet is something else.
Amazing video. If you can afford it go for it! The annual inspects are extremely expensive for those aircraft.
Maybe even consider selling tickets in Florida for rides to help off set costs.
That and airshows are about the only way to economically own one of these. But worth it I'd say
I would buy a ticket
Can't sell rides in experimental class. Only standard and limited category
If Jimmy sells his other planes and rents out his wife the annual inspects become manageable!
@@stevomcsteve9492 🤣
That was the most quiet, turbine engine with the most invisible cool exhaust ever. Are you sure it actually started?
I was thinking it sounded like it was just spinning on the air turbine starter. Not actually running.
No smoke, it wasn’t running.
Mig-15s are extremely quiet for jets
there built to be quiet and not smoke. its why they where so deadly in there time. by the time you hear the mig you are dead.

Good Gawd Jimmy!!! A MIG-15 !!!! Holy Cow!!! Try to get the 310 straightened out FIRST!!! AT THIS STAGE, You can probably recover everything that You put into it. But dude- this might be difficult to quickly deliver high priority cargo , to short fields with, unless you can drop it out - suspending it from a parachute.... Maybe a museum might be interested in this!!! It could be An excellent tax w/o - from your other business ventures....
Hold out for an F86! Less tendency enter an unrecoverable flat spin.
I have had enough experience with the F-86 in DCS to say that it has slightly less tendency to go into a flat spin if you avoid sudden turns at lower speeds. Which makes hard to dog fight. It's almost like trying to race a powerful RWD car. You have to always mindful of not spinning out.
