BACK TO THE USSR! Flying to Chernobyl on Soviet Airliners! Capt. : Noel, I love 'em too! I would love to see some here in the US, maybe at some airshow. The Antonov's and the Yaks are terrific. Also, the BE-200 and the Beriev A-40. It's amazing that the only real aviation museum is the Monino near Moscow and it's only open to viewing by special arrangements. Good work!

it's fairly common to have to wait until check in is open for your flight to enter an SRA (security restricted area) such as the departure lounge. Otherwise there is no way of keeping tabs on people and ensuring no unauthorised personal are in that area at unusual times.

2022 update: this should be in any 'historical storage' now, because some of these places - or planes - might get demolished by the war. where sadly, one of them is unicorn Antonov AN-225 Mriya dream. See you in heaven, unicorn.

Here I am INSIDE the 'Exclusion Zone''. makes 0 sense lol. I remember that terrible accident involving Chernobyl. I was a mere 25 (lol) at the time. There were many parts of Belarus affected by the Nuclear disaster as well.

I might be too late, but i think the sweet and hard cake thingy was a pryanik. it's this baked sweet made usually from honey and flour and have a hard outer shell covered with sugar/glazing. :D

Did a very similar trip in 2017 combing Chernobyl with day trips to Lviv and Odessa to get on Antonovs. The aircraft are always the same on day trips as they stay there all day to operate the return.
reply

Odessa reminds me of a famous 1925 silent movie scene The Odessa Steps from Battleship Potemkin by Sergei Eisenstein. I don't think you visited the steps though Noel.

love to see that the wheel assembly doesnt wobble around after hitting bumps on takeoff like a similar aircraft in one of your african videos did: D.

That last plane has has seen its last days! Love the huge cup of Tea ( NOT ) you got lol Another great video, very well edited too. Keep them coming

Odessa looks be a particularly grim place. Is looking austere and lurking around suspiciously, a national pastime? You're a brave man Noel! :-)
reply

Cool video. looks like you stayed at the Ibis railway station hotel which is coincidently the one I stayed at before visiting Chernobyl
reply

What always baffles me is that even after the accident at Chernobyl, the three remaining reactors was operating up until the 2000s.
reply

Excellent music. You would expect a better terminal at Odessa, the 3rd biggest city in the country. Chernobyl video fabulous
reply

Love the Clouseau type music during your, er, excursion in Odessa and Kiev. Almost expected Peter Sellers to walk by.
reply

. You know they're tracking you and that Antanov is the only aircraft equipped to track your movements specifically.
reply

Love all your videos Noel, must say your soviet ones are fab, pleased to see you with new soviet material
reply

Wow thanks Noel for showing us around Chernobyl and flying us around in cool Soviet AN24 and AN140 aircrafts
reply

Boy, that IS disrespectful because it's not a joke! And those who suffered were innocent people! How tasteless!
reply

What company did you use to arrange the tour of Pipriat and the reactor building? I would love to go.
