  • HERMOSA MUESTRA DE SENCILLEZ DEL PILOTO QUE TIENE ABSOLUTO DOMINIO DE UNA DE LAS JOYAS DE LA AVIACIÓN MUNDIAL, EL IL-62

  • Can you imagine being allowed into the cockpit of some North American commercial aircraft? Pigs might fly, mate.

  • I really that atmosphere in this plane, but I guess you can't find it anymore nowadays.

    Great plane too.

  • This is REAL flying & the crew have my sympathy. I expected the ol Cpt to light a cigar. :D

  • I wonder why Cubana doesn't buy Boeings or Airbus... Even Russia's flag carrier (Aeroflot) are using western airliners.

  • @rb21122b The US has an embargo with Cuba. It has been in place since the Russians parked about 100 missiles 90 miles south of Florida in 1962.

  • @ziggyboi1995 They can still order Airbus. (European company)

  • @ziggyboi1995 Will the bloody Yanks ever grow up? Doubt it.

  • @RosPratch Did I say I supported it?

  • @rb21122b It's because of a ludicrous embargo the USA placed on Cuba in 1962. That's 50-years ago! Grow up you stupid Yanks.

  • @RosPratch What does the US embargo have to do with Airbus?

  • the russians know how to build planes , for sample take the TU 204 its an great plane. Look at you tube Profitfilm. TU 204 .

  • @dergrossen there is a very big difference between russia and china...russian planes are banned from usa/europe cuz engines fail to stage 2 noise reduction..not for safetly reason

  • he say "ny radio check"...ny only have to say "laud and clear"..over....cubana is flighying over the atlantic not over us or other countries territories..he is crossing the atlantic

  • @RicardoRalifer mira quien habla.... que me dices del que hace tiempo fue el mayor narco y capo sudaca Uribe????

  • is this a flight from havana to canada

  • Hahaha, laid back crew :)

  • @120M Yeah, laid back. As in "not paying attention to business" laid back? I want my left seat pilot to be engaged in the serious business of navigation, fuel management, etc. YOU can get on his airplane and fuck with your iphone or something. This goof didn't even return the customary "good day" to the controller. Are you paying attention, dergrossen and all you other airheads. The Captain of this hunk-o-junk is unprofessional, and better suited to be a cab driver.

  • @gonetoworkbbackin5mi You are probably not pilot at all, and if you are you are most probably stupid american redneck.

  • what's a sall-call ?

  • beutiful plane and airline

  • Safety belts need not apply.

  • What a hunk of junk. You need like four crew just for the cockpit.

  • Had to be a flight from Montreal to Havana

  • que ordinario este capitan

  • I love this, the captain is great! plus a wonderful aircraft

  • Cool and friendly crew! ! nice video.. Polish Airline LOT had 16 of them , Sadly 2 of them  crashed, one in 1980 and second in 1987 killing quite a lot of people. Tu-154 M much better...

  • @kamilinlondon The IL-62M is very safe. Poland operated 23, 13 of which it owned and 10 leased from Tarom and Aeroflot. In the first, the engine was known to be faulty and had caused probs when fitted to other IL-62s, and in the second, they didn't land the plane in spite of the flight engineer's advice. LOT planes had auxilliary fuel tanks fitted near the engines and one of these probably ignited. LOT also lost 2 of 3 Vickers Viscounts and they didn't get turbine checking equipment until 1987.

  • @av21031 Thank you that clears some air above me:) I like the video when the German pilot lands IL-62 on the grass. Thanks again!!!

  • those who comment that this plane is crap...do you think a 30 year old 737, 767, 757 of any U.S. or international airline is going to be better? the IL-62 has a great service record and she will be missed. i would feel a lot safer on any aircraft with 4 crew in the deck like this...but those were the old days...now we have computers taking over the flight engineer....i dont know if I trust those more...

  • Love how they all drink at once, what if it was contaminated.

  • What an awesome crew!  Great video clip.

  • Sadly, Cubana retired its last two IL-62s last month (Mar 1) at a ceremonial flight at Jose Marti. The journal 'Granma' ran a lead article on Mar 11 titled 'Tribute to a Titan' (reference to it being the world's largest passenger plane when it first flew). The first one CU T1208 was delivered to Cubana in 1977 and 28 were operated in all. The article praised the plane's elegance and reliability and noted various world leaders & dignitaries (including Pope John Paul) who had flown in them.

  • @av21031 Passing of an era. IL-62 really is an icon of design. I'd love to fly on one, but never have (despite several flights on old Aeroflot)

  • @av21031 Passing of an era. IL-62 really is an icon of design. I'd love to fly on one, but never have (despite several flights on old Aeroflot) I guess they are being replaced with IL-96s?

  • If I were in that cockpit I woud be terrified!!

  • @adonnis010983 It is 31000 Feet, not meters

  • "como se llama al pais que vamos????" "Copenhague" Que no sabe a donde va? es el pilotooo!!!!! está ebrio? drogado? que MIEDO! si ese ruido es en la cabina del piloto (que es al frente del avion) como será en donde estan las alas!?!?!?!!? FEOOO!!!!

  • I THINK THAT CAPTAIN IS A VERY GOOD PERSON,SO FUNNY !!!

  • omg! 1050km/h? :o

  • the pilot is cool ^^

  • Simon, if you still check your clip for comments, how were you able to gain access to the flightdeck, do you work for this airline? As an aviation enthusiat myself, would I still be able to get permissiont to enter the flightdeck in flight presently? Thanks.

  • conoci a cada uno de estos pilotos y verdaderamente si hay personas qu vuelan como una cuna estos aparatos son los cubanos ahi puedo ubicar a neti que es el ingienero de vuelo y el nombre de el capitan no lo recuerdo pero da lo mismo un saludo para el pueblo cubano ....

  • it`s version with Kuznetsov engines?

  • aahahah i love how the cuban guy disses the ATC

  • Awesome!! Very nice.

  • The only thing which is missing is a cold beer in the Captain´s hand! :-)

  • That old bird flyes faster then the newer airlines!! that´s so cool and i really don´t care if the aeroplane is ancient, it does it´s job - and that´s the importent thing

  • What GRANDPA !!! LOUNDER. YOU GOT HEART ATTACK ...

  • Fantastic video! Looks like an amazing and super friendly crew. The Captain's the best.

  • @airconguy1 vodka? How about Havana Club Rum

  • the cockpit looks soooooo ancient

  • What an endboss is the pilot! Thumbs up for him!

  • Comment removed

  • The pilot is very good...

  • Cuba and the castro brothers should catch cancer and die.

  • Wow Green Mental Cokpit Vs Western Plastic Cokpit.

  • Very nice video. These old russian planes creates jobs for entire towns just to fly`em. But they are real flyingmachines. Great!.

    take care

  • @sommif Apparently in the '70s and '80s the 'extra' flight engineer was supposed to oversee all airport ground crew activity on all Aeroflot Il-62s flying to the US (and it might have been the same with Cubana 62s). This was after the downing of Cubana flight 455 in 1976, a DC-8 that had C4 explosives smuggled on board by two agents employed by CIA operative Luis Carriles who now lives in the US (and was never charged). All 73 on board died including the Cuban national fencing team.

  • lol, he just radio-checked for us...

  • They live in a world different from ours.

    Where the technologies are lagging behind, but life seems to be more relaxed and fun.

  • @RicardoRalifer You are from Colombia and offending the Cuban?

    I am Brazilian and I tell you, here in South America, all I said all countries have problems similar to Cuba, if not worse. Corrupt politicians, violence, lack of schools, hospitals, universities, sanitation, drug trafficking, etc ...

    In some respects we should was to have them as a model,

    

  • @mralabatalla NO Y YO LO QUE ME CAGO EN LA RESINGA DE LA PUTA DE TU MADRE

  • wow he was having trouble with the english,,,,at that age is hard to learn another language ,,hope they could buy some new planes and travel to miami

  • So cool they still fly with a navigator!

  • Wow, what a treat! Thanks for the vid. 4 people to keep that plane flying? That cockpit is HUGE!

  • @TalksWithDirt that is cause the plane is old and has not almost any electronic device (like electonic displays), so there are trims, buttons and analogic devices everywhere, and two more people (engineers) apart from pilots are needed to watch and look after all those things, and they obviously need more space ;)

  • After spending 5 weeks in Cuba, I can really say: this pilote is a true Cuban. «de espacio ... tranquilito tranquilito ... no te apures! »

    Just seen it to love it.

    Saludos Cuba !

  • @xfastV8 @dergrossen Cubana IL-62 turbine explosion in Dominican Republic: watch it on : youtube.com/watch?v=-xltGZk4aH­Y, Avion bastante inseguro. porfavor ver accidente del LOT 5055 y mirar negligencia de los ingenieros rusos.

  • @matatan69 The aircraft does not explode without a good reason. People make mistakes. This aircraft was not maintained.

  • @dergrossen Hey comrade, If you can't maintain it, you shouldn't fly it. Of course, totalitarian dictators have no regard for life (except their own) and fly it anyway. I love reading the comments by communist apologists.

  • @gonetoworkbbackin5mi Greeting! Yes indeed! I agree. You seen how the Qantas flights are running out of gas lately? If they can't afford the gas..well..what can you say?

  • @gonetoworkbbackin5mi why do you bring politics into this i know you are probably an exiled cuban but forget about politics for once in your puta vida

  • @gonetoworkbbackin5mi OK..what makes you think I am a supporter of totalitarian regimes? May be because this machine ...this puter..is made in CHINA? There are at least 150 companies which are banned from EUR/USA airspace because of safety issues. That means they are liable to fall out of the sky and injure somebody on the ground. As it happens the CHINESE airlines are accepted.

  • @gonetoworkbbackin5mi You are a disgusting piece of shit. Like @musichuri says, why bring the politics? Viva el pueblo cubano, Viva la Revolución.

  • @estoyaqui85 I agree, why bring in the politics?

  • Does Cubana still fly IL-62 russian jets from Havana to Canada?

  • @doulasc , IL-62 very dangerous aircraft: see the accident of flight 5052 and see for yourself how Russian Engineers play with people's live: go to :youtube.com/watch?v=C-_YKCear­0s&feature=related

  • @matatan69 I never flown on one but I beleive it.

  • el piloto habla inglés con acento cubano oyeee chico jajajaja!!

  • Que relajados se ven los pilotos.....cuantos anios tiene ese avion?

  • Bien por ti, Simon!..

    En que ano fue esto??

  • En el minuto 2:53 el copiloto regaña al piloto y este se molesta. Luego el copiloto le hace una seña que se esté tranquilo.

  • me gusta muy el Ilushjin 62, e il suo ermano europeo, il Super VC 10

  • no me hubiera extranado q este video terminara con el travieso cameraman aterrisando el avion...........casi q escucho:

    -PERMISO!!! ME PUEDO SENTAR AHI??...;-D

    Los cubanos tenemos un gran corazon.

  • J'adore ces "cockpits" russes, ou il n'y a pas de système informatique embarqué dans tous les coins. Au décollage comme à l'atterissage, le Capitaine doit faire "Tout à la main". Ca, c'est du pilotage, ... !!

  • j'avoue tu as vraiment raison , psk avec l'informatique qu'il y a now c'est plus de la surveillance que du pilotage !

  • Wonderful bunch of folks....1050Km per hour at 31 000 feet is fast.

    Nothing was trouble to these folks... a real asset to Cuba!

    .

  • @dergrossen , There is nothing romantic about flying these russian aircraft, Cuba keeps flying them endangering thousands of passengers for the cause of comunist politics and pride. see the story of LOT flight 5055 and see how russians engineers improvise to keep these craps flying, click on this link: youtube.com/watch?v=C-_YKCear0­s&feature=related

  • @matatan69 A German registered DC-3 carrying passengers who paid to see Berlin city in this 1943 USA built aircraft also crashed last month. I am a Slav engineer and YES we are resourceful. Nothing is wasted..not even a bolt unless it is broken.

  • @matatan69 The LOT accidents were due to lack of maintenance (they had no equipment for removing & testing turbines) - it had nothing whatsoever to do with the design of the plane which is sturdy. Thirty countries operated Il-62s and they have the best safety record of their era and class. In 43 years there were 9 crashes (two of which were due to engine failure with LOT), 2 landing overruns and an aborted takeoff. Compare that with Boeing and DC of the time.

  • @dergrossen Cubana IL-62 turbine explosion in Dominican Republic: watch it on : youtube.com/watch?v=-xltGZk4aH­Y

  • @matatan69 check out the MD-11. That is a dangerous machine by its design. The IL-62 failed because of maintenance errors. The design is good.

  • @matatan69 That is not in the least the same as the LOT accidents. This happened at 25000 ft and the controls were not affected. Plane made a safe landing and would have been repaired had it not been so old with history of high flight time. There have been uncontained engine failures in almost every type of aircraft from this era, some fatal some not.

  • I often fly Nassau to Havana on Cubana- good flight, nice friendly crew.

  • Really nice and welcoming crew. I was on a long haul flight a few days ago (over the Atlantic) and asked politely if i could see the cockpit. The crew said no :'(.

  • @psgman41 since september 11th, 2001, neither airline would be so crazy to let anyone come into the cockpit.

    Suppose u work for the airline security, the pilot would be fired...

  • El IL 62M es uno de los aviones mas lindos que se han hecho en el mundo y ellos son una tripulacion estupenda. What a great combination, a soviet aircraft and a cuban crew. Best. знаю каждый уголочек этой машины

  • what a great and pleasant crew...

  • Me parece una tripulacion encantadora, como todos los cubanos , pero veo que tienen (Sobretodo el Capitan) un serio problema con el ingles. Creo que estos paises en el que el que los tecnocratas sobrevovien , dan como resultado profesionales no demasiado cualificados. Juzgen por ustedes mismos, no voy a decir cual de ellos me parece que esta en otra pelicula y no se entera nada de nada.

  • I love how the pilot does not care he got ATC service terminated.

  • lol, he performed a radio-check to amuse the guy with the camera...

  • @drivojulianrobotnik He didn't get ATC service Terminated, He got radar Service terminated.

  • @drivojulianrobotnik He should care. Getting the termination call is standard procedure when the aircraft is reaching the limits of the radar. He has a lot of people sitting behind him. An unprofessional slug, your laid back captain.

  • que tripulacion mas agradable. como todos los cubanos

  • bermuda, bermuda, bermuda :-D

  • When will cubana retire them?

    I'd like to get myself on one of these before they do!

  • When Raoul Castro dies? ;-P Because of the embargo policy of the US they are not able to buy airbus or boeing aircrafts, not even used planes. it´s prohibited for any country with (business)relations to the US to deal with cuba in things of boeing planes parts etc. nearly the same airbus. So they will keep on going their IL62M´s for several years. maybe they buy some sukhoi superjets i heared somewere. if they do, Air Koryo will buy the cubana IL62M´s, they are the real specialists in IL62

  • Cool, maybe I'l try get on an Air Koryo flight then!

  • that´s only possible by visiting north korea. so u need visa and special invitation from KITC (korea interntional travel corporation)

  • that's not certanly true, now any country that wants to deal with Cuba wants, but USA continues with the embargo, I hope someday both will consider a good solution for both parts

  • you better hurry up..they only have one left...

  • hah that pilot must be a funny guy

  • bonito video de mis colegas la epoca de la verdadera aviacion

  • Пиздос! Взгляните на приборы!!! Хлам советский...

  • Is anyone able to tell, as the captain spoke with the flight controls from 3:05 to 3:26?

  • Comment removed

  • Gander Center. He was just doing a "Radio Check" to show the passenger the radio, but the timing coincided with switching from VHF radio to HF radio anyway, to cross the Atlantic. The HF test is that multiple tone you hear.

  • Also called SELCAL

  • ¿De qué año es éste video?

    De antemano gracias.

  • el Ilyushin Il-62 "classic" es de 1963

  • Russian planes have there distinct looks and are very beautiful, but there is nothing like boeing and airbus, i would still be happy to see ilyushin in the top three though

  • Mis respetos a esta tripulacion, son verdaderos Pilotos.

    Los aviones ex Union sovietica son realmente buenos, bajos indices de percances, y en Cuba los han sabido mantener en el aire, a pesar de todas las dificultades, Felicidades Pilotos de Cubana de aviacion. Hasta la Victoria !!!

  • tu no sabes que carajo has dicho, se ve que jamas has montado uno... mi madrasta murio en un accidente de cubana en el año 89, la aviacion civil en cuba es negligentemente malisima y queda demostrada aqui con este video, niguna aerolinea de respeto deja entrar a un intruso con una camara a cabina, montate en uno para que luego des tu comentario final

  • Sorry por tu madrastra, pero que comentario se espera de un desarraigado, sin patria, creo que queremos mas a Cuba y lo que tiene que ver con este pais otros que los que huyen de su pais, como usted. Espero veas el sentido de el comentario.

  • excuse me? tu quieres al gobierno asesino de los castros, no a cuba, no creo que tengas un medidor de quien quiere a su pais o no, y digo como dijo Jose Marti SIN PATRIA PERO SIN AMO, Y NO HUI DE DE MI PAIS PARA TU CONOCIMIENTO ME BOTARON POR ESTAR EN CONTRA DEL GOBIERNO, IMAGINATE A TI QUE TU GOBIERNO TE SAQUE DEL PAIS POR NO SIMPATIZAR CON EL MISMO, NO DEFIENDAS LO INDEFENDIBLE QUE TE HACES COMPLICE DE ATROPELLOS

  • cualquier aeroilinea permite que uno pase con una camara al cockpit del avion, es comun nada fuera de lo normal, la unica diferencia es que algunas tripulaciones se prestan para esto y otras no

  • Mis disculpas por meterme en su comentario estimado amigo, pero para que sepa. En Sudamérica y en muy pocas partes de Europa existen personas que han tenido el atrevimiento de estar en una cabina grabando con cámaras. Cubana no es la única y pienso con el mayor de los respetos hacia su persona que cada aerolínea sea de donde sea merece aprecio, además los viejos equipos IL-62 no dudo que pronto los reemplacen, recuerde que cubana tiene los IL.96.300

  • De acuerdo gtabully parece ser que quienes amamos verdaderamente la aviaciòn y los buenos pilotos de antaño lejos de los tecnocratas y frios pilotos vanidosos de hoy seria una dicha volar ...me encantan los Illiyushin 62mk, y estuve en cuba en el 96 lamentablemente no vole en uno de estos lo hice en un 727-200...

  • La verdad q pilotear aviones de la ex-union sovietica es muy entretenido, a mi me divierten mas ver videos de aterrizajes de tupolev e ilyushin que ver los boeing y los airbus, es como mas entretenido por el hecho de que oprimen muchisimos botones, y la verdad q es cosa mia, pero el ruidito de los botones de las cabinas que hace "tack" me gustan, jaja, igual que los dc10, son aviones q requieren minimo 3 pilotos a bordo para pilotearlos.. de todas formas me gustaria pilotear el 737

  • russian planes are the best

  • Parabéns pelo video.

    Uma bela aeronave e uma tripulação muito simpatica.

    Por favor, não tenham má impressão dos Brasileiros devido ao comentario de ricardosoares2000. Não somos "ácidos" "azedos" como ele.

    Abraços!!!!!

  • captain is joking with atc 3.07

  • Avião movido a lenha ou a vapor ???

  • por que no te dedicas a trabajar para erradicar las favelas de tu pais en vez de criticar inutilmente a los cubanos?

    es de destacar que puedan mantener operativos estos aviones teniendo en cuenta los viejos que son.

    un saludo

  • Si los nueos aviones estos, donde el piloto ya no tiene valor a bordo y se confia todo en la electronica y instrumentos no capacitados para pilotar manualmente.

    Creo que los aviones "antiguos" son mas seguros porque se ha comprobado su calidad.

  • If the plane flies on firewood or steam? Maybe a mean comment, but still kinda funny, in my humble opinion...

  • pikiti75, ñó compadre!, no pareces haber sido piloto, muchos menos militar. Y yo sé de lo que hablo. No puedes expresarte en "Cubano", y bien mirado, no puedes comunicarte ni en un medianamente correcto español.

    Cero en todo

  • unthinkable today! Nice video

  • They're having a good time

  • That yoke-within-the-yoke is the nosewheel steering for ground taxi I believe. Unless someone can clarify that. Reasonably. No one saying it's used to launch missiles or make ice cream.

  • ojala asi fueran todos los capitanes... no que te encuentras a cada m4m0n en amx sobre todo los de connect :s....

  • En el instituto de ingenieros de la aviacion civil de Kiev, Ucrania, se graduaban en carreras de 5 años los ingenieros aeronauticos mecánicos, eléctricos, radiocomunicación, economistas, sistemas automatizados, combustibles y lubricantes, y en Construcción de Aeródromos. Idem en un Instituto de Aviacion similar en Riga, Estonia. En la Academia de Aviacion Civil de Leningrado estudiaban 5 años los cuadros de mando, asi como Control de Transito Aereo.

  • Que interesante informacion, gracias por compartirla!! Siguen capacitandose y estudiando ahi ?

  • Pikiri75: Conozco Cubana de Aviacion, pues trabajé allí varios años, y no todos los pilotos fueron pilotos militares como aseguras, ni los navegantes son hijos de personalidades. Existen casos, pero no es lo comun. Hay muchos pilotos, navegantes, ingenieros de vuelo y demas tripulantes que llegaron alli por méritos propios. Honor a la verdad.

  • que pasada de Avión, me encanta.

    Salu2

  • Yo puedo explicarte eso , porque soy Cubano y Piloto pero no de CUBANA ; yo fuy Piloto en Cuba pero militar , todos los pilotos de linea en CUBA fuero antiguos pilotos de la fuerza aerea de Cuba ; y por los navigantes es otra cosa o bien eres familia de una personalidad en Cuba o bien de un gran militar ; asi como asi en cuba no es posible trabajar en esa reama ; si has viajado por cubana alguna vez veras que son bastante majores la azafatas (os ) alguna ecepcion habra pero en jeneral es asi

  • Recuerdo esos IL-62 en sus tiempos de gloria... Buen video!! 5 ESTRELLAS

  • hola

    bueno me gustaria saber si alguien sabe como los pilotos cubanos se hacen pilotos, pregunto esto por el gobierno cubano, tienen q ser de cierta clase o algo? digo por que pueden viajar y todo eso y segun yo no todos los cubanos pueden no es critica a los pilotos ni al gobierno cubano solo que me gustaria saber como le hacen bajo ese regimen de gobierno.

  • para ser piloto en cuba hay que entrar a la academia militar. No entiendo cuando dices que si tienen que ser de cierta clase o algo, pero bueno como en cualquier otra carrera is all about who you know

  • Como tuviste el valor de subirte a un avion asi??

  • Los pilotos de Cubana estudiaban en la escuela de pilotos de Kirovogrado, Ucrania, en la URSS, un centro para la formación de pilotos de alto nivel. Allí se graduaban pilotos y navegantes de vuelo en 4 años.

  • what a man, the captain. Very kind, very pleasant and very... particular:)

  • with proper mentenance and good service the il 62 long range airplane is one of the safest planes. single weak point is big consumption. my father flew this type. have a nice evening all.

  • que gusto me dio ver al ingienero de vuelo que es mi amigo NETTI un saludo desde aca dersde el confin de el mundo un saludo para todos mis amigos de las tripulaciones de mis amigos de cubana un abrazo de un Chileno IGNACIOy un recuerdo para los que partieron me refiero a LAGAR AL BEBO EN FIN FUE UN GUSTO HABERLOS VISTO ASERE

  • I would be scare in that plane with those pilots, OMG!.

  • Why?

  • COMEPINGA

  • Now that's a REAL pilots aircraft.

  • I bet that old salty captain would be bored sitting in front of a modern glass cockpit lol

  • nice vid, fun to be able to get into such a busy cockpit, what a nightmare maintaining all those old steam guages. that Captain seemed like a "colourful" character :)

  • Deberían de otorgarles una condecoración por manejar esos aviones...!Cubana es una aerolínea de calidad! Felicidades por los Tu-204, me encantó volar en ellos.

  • yes men, this a old airplane of the soviet era. The new rusian's airplane is a Sukoi 100 superjet, it has airbus, rolls roice and boeing technologie
