Russian here. My grandfather Dmitry Vilde was building the engines for the TU in 50s. It was near Kuibyshev (now Samara), a small work town called Upravlenchesky. Some captured Germans from ww2 worked there in luxury (measuring by that time) conditions - high salary, meat and milk supply etc, they were engineers who helped our engineers to work. I have published some of his personal letters and pictures of that time. Incredibly interesting, Sam. Thank you for your videos and for your interest in Soviet aviation. This job actually saved my grandfather from ww2, during which he stayed in Moscow and was making engines for war planes in Moscow suburbs. Peace to all❤

The one thing that stands out is how clean their aircraft are. To see vintage aircraft still flying is a real treat. To fly seated next to the engine Is not. Thanks Sam, this was very interesting to watch.
@KN-ko8ez
Fascinating video! Thanks for uploading, Sam!
@letsseeif
Thanks for your excellent video. Australian Pilot. I think the entire crew should be awarded a five star rating. It's not their fault that they were born in North Korea. Old aircraft are kept in top condition. The landings and takeoffs are particularly impressive.

I lived in the GDR, near Berlin Schönefeld. The IL-62 was really incredibly loud on take-off and landing. It's amazing that you were able to fly it

These guides seemed a lot nicer than the tour guides I've seen in other videos.

Hi Sam, I flew the IL62, many years ago from Havana to Brussels a flight that took 13 hours, I was at the front seat by myself and on the other side an Ambassador, so 3 seats for each of us! Incredible experience and worrying about the real range of the aircraft. But we made it and an adventure! Take care!!!

And the engine sounds makes my day. All the birds looks so good.

That looked like a much better meal than on all of my last 20 flights.
@BrendanBeckett
I admire your balance of acknowledging the odd realities of North Korea without making the video all about criticizing those things.

2:48 That gives a uppercut to the tinnitus in my ears...I love it.
@chris_3636
No shortage of skill involved in keeping vintage jets in the air. Great footage of the planes.
@markfestor7869
Hi Sam, just winter to say thank you for the topics and bringing us around all these differents topics with an unparalelled passion.This vidéo on Norah Korea reflects my gratitude
@Fmw_ndiga
Great unbiased presentation and commentary, without being condescending
@kennethjanczak4900
Big thanks to chairman kim for accepting this fantastic documentary about he's airfleet... And thanks for taking the time to make the video and share...
@WizardSoon
The speak of an aviation enthusiast, you really had a great time there. Cheers for the video!
@MissMimimimi
I’ve watched loads of videos on North Korea but this one is by far the best. You actually showed the interesting activities you did instead of just going on about how strange the place is. Yes NK is weird, we know — but there is still a lot to experience. Clearly you made the most of your time which is refreshing 👍
@ChairmanKim
Thank you for making this documentary about my airline. I hope you enjoyed our services. I have ordered new planes from uncle Vlad to improve our reputation ❤ — Chairman Kim

Reminds of taking local flights in Asia back in the 60s. And an international flight to the U.S. Those old planes had way better maintenance than these new ones & the service back then was way better. Got older and being on military flights, noisy loud & netted seats, at least given ear plugs & a box lunch. Now only ride economy & for me that is 1st class compared to military flights. Riding on this vintage aircraft is a treat. Thank you for the tour.
