I'm the granddaughter of the Captain Moises. He was a real good man!!! I and my family are very thankful for this video. Specially for me was a joy to see my grandpa as he was, but specially being appreciated for his work. Thank you very much! 🌻

Wow, that is amazing, I remember seeing this video many years ago and went looking for it a while back.I really took an instant liking to the captain, very nice to the cockpit visitor in the good old days when we were allowed to say hello . I often wonder if he is still alive.

Damn, this captain seems so relaxed and professional at the same time. Mark how he communicates with ATC, just casually saying some word sets with a bit of giggling. He's making the communication look easy and has everything under control.

Bet that flight crew would find a modern airliner boring to fly.

The captain talking all the flight, kkkk. This aircraft has a big cockpit. Absolutlly without LCD, tablet or iPhone aparent . Totally analogic main panel. Amazing!

This long range airplane il62M with proper mentenance and good service becomes a very safe machine, the only weak point is big consumption. my father flew this type for 23 years. Tarom- Romanian Airlines. thx

The captain looks a real character.

Creo también volé con éste Capitán del IL 62 M ,muchos viajes por varios países, conocí muchos Capitánes de Cubana de Aviación, Silvio Sosa ,Pedro del Risco,Ovidio,El Panameño, Alexis,mi respeto para todos ellos, les habla un Piloto también pero del Motocross profesional

The Cubans are a great people!!

Us cubans refer anyone from a different country other than cuba as gringos or americanos if your white and speak english as your primary language.

Anyone who claims this plane is unsafe needs to do a serious course in statistics or learn to do basic maths. It's hull loss rate is half that of the B 707 (and almost half that of the DC8). It is the same rate as the VC-10 but has been in operation for 43 years compared to just 16 years for the VC-10. A major ICAO study listed the IL-62 overall as safer than the 707 and similar to the DC8, but the IL-62M version was twice as safe again. That is why it is still in operation today.

that captain is so funny HAHAHAHAAH

This airplane has mechanical connection with metal wires between the yoke and the control surface. For such a big airplane, you need a big yoke to be able to move it easily, without using a lot of force.

Soy chile tuve la suerte de viajar en este avion y tb estar en la cabina .. todos muy amables ..

March 1998. Thanks!

Thanks granskare! Actually I shot it on the Hi 8mm analog tape format.

@xxman7 This plane is very safe. It was operated by 30 countries and had no fatalities between 1989-2009. You can easily check stats on ASN and ICAO and Wikipedia refs which shows it to be by far the safest plane of its class/era. The Polish govt just this year released confidential archives that show it told LOT to ignore overhaul intervals during the Solidarity era to cut costs during the labour unrest. LOT was unable to service or test engines of this size until 1987.

Epic!

Ha the control stick looks awesome!

@xxman7 Over 30 airlines operated IL-62s and they all had good safety records except with LOT. There were reasons for this, primarily because LOT didn't get equipment for checking turbines until 1987, but they also cut back on what little maintenance they did during the 1980s. It was important to check turbines especially on rear-engined planes because of the close proximity of the engines to each other (as with the VC-10). The IL-62 accident rate is very low compared to other planes.

Cubana had IL-62 with uncontrolled engine explosion too. Luckily the plane made a safe emergency landing. The HUGE problem with IL-62 was the crappy engines even by the standard of the day. If the plane had western engines it would be safe to fly.

nice vid. the captain is hilarious :D

4:19 pure professionalism

@superfestiva One of the fastest. The Tu-154M tri-jet seems to be the fastest commercial airliner now in service (since the Concorde was retired). It has the same powerplants as the IL-62M but possibly a somewhat better power to weight ratio. It is unable to land in western Europe due to recent noise restrictions and is probably too expensive to hush kit. Nonetheless there are still 200 or so in service (out of 1015 originally built)

Great video Simon. How many crew members? looks like the cockpit was full?

el navegante creo que es nety vivia en regla lo conoci personalmente esos eran los tiempos en que cubana era una gran aerolinea y los pilotos eran muy famosos porque tenian muchos conocimientos

thanx so much for posting this video. i would love to go to cuba. but the money involved in going would be too much. i do have one question though? what is the song playing in it?

@xxman7 This plane had a very good safety record in 30 countries. It can't have a good safety record and be unsafe at the same time. By their own admission LOT did no checking of DK-30 engines before 1987 (IL-62 or Tu-154) so I'm not sure exactly what point you are trying to make. The IL-62 hull loss rate is only about 1/2 that of similar planes (B-707, VC-10, DC-8). Also the 2008 Cubans incident was a routine landing following 1 engine failiure (and it was later flown back to Cuba)

Song is by Benny More. Sorry I dont remember the title.

Very Nice Video!Does anyone know why Cubana stopped flying from/to Denmark?Not profitable route?

@av21031 That's interesting. Solidarity was formed in August 1980, that is more than 5 months after SP-LAA crashed and in 1985 Polish government made a decision that LOT would expand its fleet- they ordered brand new Tu-154M's in Soviet Union and deliveries started in 1986. Those planes were equipped with almost exactly the same engine as Il-62M and entire order was much more expensive than cost of overhauls. If they had been forced to cut costs they wouldn't have bought Tu-154's.

this is a superb restored 8mm! you must have begun with a good film initially. Mine done in Turkey 1958 were really poor. Any suggestions? thanx for this great vid. I'd like to visit Habana some day :)

the cockpit is beautiful..😍😍😍

@rrynek Yes but the SPLA turbine was already damaged before it was fitted so that is not really relevant. The cost claim comes from Polish govt archival documents so I assume they are correct. Operating a 62 is more technically demanding than a 154 (it requires developed airport facilities as opposed to the 154 - or VC-10 for that matter - and having paired engines required more thorough turbine checks than the 154).

Que pifia aquellos tiempo.

Bermuda!

High Frequency, radio frequencies are between 3 and 30 MHz. The captain said: no HF, VHF. which meansVery High Frequency.

@av21031 SB documents refer to period before first crash i.e. 1976-1980 and there was no information about second one because the case was closed 7 years before SP-LBG crashed. Poland had a different government in 1987 and this particular government made a decision to expand LOT's fleet so any claims about cost cutting are just ridiculous because new planes were much more expensive than engine maintenance for small number of Il-62's

@av21031 Nope! Turbine was not damaged, the shaft just wasn't made properly. The documents refer to investigation carried out by Polish secret police SB after first crash in 1980 and SB wanted to find out whether government was anyhow responsible for that accident but government itself didn't leave any relevant documents.

Duration of the Flight?

I heard that ever since Comet disasters more than 50 years ago they make windows and doors rounded on planes. How come in a cockpit they are still more or less square?

SELCAL, selective calling system. Each aircraft has a 4-letter code assigned. It alerts the crew that a ground station is trying to reach them via High Frequency or Very High Frequency, so the crew can call in. In this case, New York Oceanic Radio was sending them a SELCAL test.
