The flying experience on North Korea’s “one-star airline” Air Koryo is completely different from any other airline! You can fly this airline and visit a museum at the same time! But are they really bizarre and terrible?
I share my experience of flying Air Koryo on their Soviet Ilyushin IL-62, Ilyushin IL-18 and modern Tupolev 204 and Antonov 148 aircraft. It actually has more leg room and the seats are wider than most other airlines, customer service may be better than United or RyanAir. There are free food and drinks for everyone. It is definitely an exotic experience you don't want to miss!
The aviation tour to North Korea has given us the opportunity to visit many parts of the country including the sacred Mount Paektu near Samjiyon. I share some of the first hand insights about the country, the tour guide, accommodation and food.
The video also covers North Korea’s first Air Show; Wonsan AirShow. It was the most exotic airshow I've ever attended with a lineup of rare Soviet vintage fleet of Air Koryo and North Korean Air Force, many joy flights on Air Koryo, and the possibility to meet with North Koreans freely at the airshow.

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❤

Summer of 1990, I flew Aeroflot from NY to Moscow. Hearing the jet's engines in your video brings it all back. Not sure if they've since fixed it or if your audio just didn't pick it up, but in addition to being incredibly loud, the engines were slightly out of tune with each other. The end result being that on top of being the loudest jet I've ever flown on, there was a fluctuating ?warble? ?harmonic? between the engines that I hope to never experience again. Ever. Good times. edit to add: all the seats on the plane reclined fully onto the seats behind them. We were told it was so that the planes could be quickly converted to cargo planes for the military. For 60+ high school students, it was better than 1st class. We reclined all of our chairs and the back half of the plane became a huge sleeping area. We were also allowed to take a small set of stairs down into the cargo hold (where we played cards until the cold got to us).

I flew Aeroflot from Moscow to Siberia in winter. When we were landing, the pilot said there was ice on the runway. He made everyone stand in the back of the airplane on landing to weigh down the tail. It still floundered back and forth like a fish struggling on a line. Absolutely terrifying in every way. Lots of people were throwing up. But that man landed that damn airplane, and everyone survived! It was rough though.

I wouldn't. Aviation-grade steel is high quality but have defined lifespans. When you're evaluating a civilian aircraft's age don't think about the flight hours, at least not when you're evaluating the airframe itself, the wingbox, wing struts, cabin & the like. It's compression cycles that matter. These planes at altitude expand & on landing contract. Under UV radiation & working under vibration, metal has a limited number of compression cycles before microcracks start to develop. Once the wingbox starts developing cracks the plane's done. How many compression cycles have these aircraft been through over the Decades? Alot. I wouldn't trust their domestic service planes.

Well done, Sam. A great presentation. I flew on a huge Antonov An-22 from Prestwick Airport Glasgow, UK way back in 1996 to Goma, Zaire (now DRofC) which has a really long runway. We stopped in Athens, Khartoum and Nairobi for refuelling. It was full of Plant vehicles for building roads in the refugee camps post Rowanda"s genocide situation in in 1994. I had to sit on a wooden plank spanned across one of the windows. It was a madness flight but a great experience. I spent 8 months out there as a civilian with a UNHCR contractor. I'm pretty old 😊. I flew in some of those old helicopters and aircraft of the British Forces in my 26 years of service (1966-1993). I thought you presented the N.Korean people with great respect.

Wheel the planes out once each year… They seam to last forever… Until the lack of recency and training leads to smacking the ground… Having old airplanes takes more money to operate and maintain than having new airplanes… It’s too bad NK can’t join the modern world…. South Korea seams to have everything! What happened? 😃 Very much like Cuba…

Since their purpose is to represent and impress foreigners (as much as you can with 50 year old tech), I guess that these planes are kept in best possible condition because nothing would be more embarrasing for NKs leader than an airplane full of western tourists crumbling apart mid flight.

An IL-62 visited Travis AFB in Fairfield CA during an airshow, at the beginning of the START treaty. It was the only time I was officially on "Russian soil". The crew which allowed us to tour the aircraft, which was bright and airy inside, was in good humor and let me see the flight deck, with the teal color around the old steam gauges. I became a US recreational pilot in '06, since my career involved weekly air travel both US domestic and abroad, though my role was as a business systems instructor. So videos like yours which share aviation are so interesting, especially since I have never flown in a Russian aircraft, my travels in Europe and Japan outside the US never gave me the chance or time off to go there.
