Yak 42 SMOKE from ventilation system - Cubana de Aviacion- Habana, CUBA

[photo2u]

The stem is part of their normal landing procedure. No big deal. The real problem is that Cubana's ground and flight crew. The very worst I have seen. Do your self a favor IF YOU WANT TO CONNECT TO ANOTHER FLIGHT IN MEXICO DO NOT USE THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE ALWAYS LATE. I TOOK THEM FOUR TIMES AND ALL TIMES WERE LATE. I MISSED MY FLIGHT TWO TIMES.

[MrThgfghfghs]

People,it' not SMOKE it's CONDENSATION and it happens in every airplane not just in russian ones when they fly in warm climates!!!

[fillecool2]

i would NEVER get on a russian plane

@fillecool2

[DjCharBrown]

Disco, Disco, Woot Woot!

[kwbsurfer]

Tactical mask perk is too underrated.

@kwbsurfer :D

[mattezhackblip]

@kwbsurfer hahahah

[airconguy1]

I've seen this in the ducts of an Airbus A330 in SINGAPORE in NOVEMBER! You can see the 'smoke' travelling through its ducts.

[coolsan]

It's water vapor from the air conditioning system, due to the high humidity in the air. I've seen it happen on a brand new Airbus A320 in Cancun....it can really get hot and humid.

[HamburgAirport]

Its a Old plane!

[Chuckjagermeister]

You'd think you were departing from the middle of the Amazon after a T-storm during a heat wave in the summer.

[bosbcn]

@Chuckjagermeister Cancun in the month of January.... not quite the same :D

[harold562]

Es solamente aire frizado que sale del aire acondicionado del avion. En este mismo sitio hay un bunche de videos sobre esto. No es solo con Cubana pero con todas las aerolineas. Muchas optan por enfriar la cabina antes de que los pasajeros borden para que este "panico" no ocurra ni sea confundido por algo mas alarmante como un incendio.

[blizzy63]

What I didn't like was that my shin bones below my knees were crammed into a horizontal metal bar in the back of the seat in front of me. It was somewhat worrisome...and I'm only 5'10"! Seating was tight but there were lots of crew members.

[santiaghero87]

yo me monte en ese avion 4 veces para ir hacia la habana

[happymana]

It's like a Rain forest in there.

[LOTIL62]

In this case, relax guys. It's just condensation form the vent system. My Car (2008 year model) tends to do that too on some mornings when it's hot here in Florida. It's not completely odd for it to happen in more humid climates. I'd imagine given the routes this flies through, this is completely normal.

[HanzPrague]

with Cubana, Air Koryo and african airliners you can actualy go through all historical milestones of aviation in real life.

[FreeSupply]

Guys, don't be ignorants !!! That "smoke" is the air conditioning. So simple.

[MrSovetski]

@FreeSupply

You're (probably) right. You can see it happening on A319s when the air conditioning first starts.

Also, I love the Yak-42!

[Jobafan08]

damn, cant someone get cubana grounded, that airline is the most dangerous airline in the world!! the statistics prove it

[metal484]

cubana and air koryo of north korea basically have the same fleet of communist era airplanes. the smoke on these planes is actually dry ice that is used for the air conditioning system.

[Habanerito21]

i wouldn' t get on non of the cubana air plane they very old and the safety is not good at all i think the best one they have is the IL 96 - 300

[tone26]

Some of the seats are torn too. Its like a school bus. My cousin flew on one that went to the Bahamas and they had a technical problem with one of the engines and instead of landing they flew back to Habana don't know if it was to avoid fees but he told me they were almost there.

I did get nervous when I saw the smoke but everybody plays it off like they don't notice it. You could tell they are wondering about to though.

[Arkthurius]

I flew on that plane from havana to cancun, everything sounds on that airplane, looks like it has no lubrication, some lights dont work, when the landing gear is retracted it sounds as if it were breaking, i wonder if it actually had oxygen masks, the lifebest were like those on the titanic, but it was nice to travel in one. It is impressive how cuba still uses very old stuff, most of their aircraft dont comply the international safety standards.

[oubie2]

oh my gosh, i would have freaked out... that is scaryyy...

[yassand]

El de accidente de Barbados no se cuenta pq fue un atentado y otro grande hace unos 18 años despegando de la Habana fue problemas del tiempo y no de la aeronave.

[tircalina]

Ah y ese "humo" es huemedad, microgotitas de agua suspendidas en el aire. Suele pasar en todos los aviones cuendo estan en tierra en zonas humedas.Pasa en todos los aviones cuando aterrizan en zonas humedas como Cuba o el sur de Florida.

[sgking17]

Man those planes from Cubana sucks big tyme im an american airlines pilot on a 767 luxury liner and ive never seen anything like this.

[SovietWarrior]

When we impose complete global embargo on US terrorist state, you will also experience things like this.

[xxstar]

You fly a 767 for American Airlines yet you misspell basic words, lack punctuation, sentence structure and you don't use upper and lower case letters properly? Oh and your profile says you're 19. Nice try.

Why do people have to lie so much on this site?

[6V92TA]

because if they didnt, Youtube wouldnt be as popular and fun as it is now.

[thunderdragon14]

seems like a cool little plane

[pipotherium]

water vapor...

[belisariorejon]

sera q esa mierda se esta quemando jaja q cagada

[bosbcn]

no lo se, no creo que sea vapor de agua, no olia ni mojaba

[tircalina]

Mi experiencia: 1991 Aeropuerto de Jose Martí de Rancho Boyeros, en la C. de la Habana. Tuve que soportar aterrada como el avion en que viajaba intento despegar dos veces sin lograrlo. Tras los dos intentos nos desplazaron a todos hacia la parte de atras del avion para compensar, segun nos explicaron, y asi pudimos despegar.

[MannytmcoFun]

jajajajajajajaja ! Q miedo ! Fue en Cubana ?

[tircalina]

Si, en Cubana de Aviacion. Desde 1960 15 accidentes mortales. Si tienes en cuenta que es una compañia pequeña con pocos vuelos es una barbaridad.

[losperiodistas]

ah, cómo te gusta menospreciar a cubana de avición, en todos los videos de youtube tienes comentarios sobre lo mismo.

[bosbcn]

si, en Cubana de Aviacion, nada mas subir..

[fsrodolfitocarlos]

@MannytmcoFun qmiedo ni q miedo no es nada alarmante y no es porq sea la aerolinea de cubana es el aire acondicionado

[capceo]

its not gas its water vapor

[bosbcn]

I do not think it is either, but i do not know what it is.

[leonelp51]

@bosbcn yeah is water vapor, its common in old russian airliners.

[bosbcn]

@capceo Thank you Capceo, I clarified your point in the title.
