That wasn't just cool. That was sub-zero cool. Amazing video! Thank for the opportunity to see and virtually experience this moment from the AN-22 cockpit itself. Intriguing!!
To all guys who complaint on a lot of stick-tugging and horrible controls. Don’t forget that this is late 50-s - early 60-s design of a strategic air-lifter for the Soviet Airborne Troops. This was not designated for the today's pampered civilian pilots who do not know how to fly a plane without a computerized autopilot. It was a job for the real men.
Mishef Bet they have computers on board nowadays because no company wants to loose their airplanes due to failure. Still these airoplanes are not easy to fly-the already ecperienced pilots training on the biggest antonov transporter takes years till they are allowed to fly these air giants as a captain. I highly respect them...
Love the Low Muscular sound of those Six Lotarev Progress D18T Turbofans coming through even inside the Cockpit. Notice the pitch change after touchdown as he throttled back the power. Great video !!
Those massive engines sound AWESOME. As a part time pilot I can see by his control inputs that the 225 is big and wallowy and probably a real handful on base and finals! Superb video!
that amazing soundtrack in the background...really suits the video. it gives an atmosphere of suspense...oh wait... it's the engines! Engines provides the best music XD
Nice video and as many said, great video placement! I am very surprised with the amount of input needed on the yoke and the resulting minimal aircraft response. Goes to show how much effort it takes to fly such a large plane! Great piloting!
That plane flew above my house on that day. It is indeed the bigest flying object on this planet. You dont even see a 747 when parked beside Antonov. Nice sound also😁
the low flying that was done just before landing was amazing. I hope they were able to get it back in the air, be a shame if it could only fly downwards, I was once told to sit down and shut up.
What a lovely monster bird!) AN-22 is a real airplane fro real airmen! The sound of engines - sweet music for my ears. Captain Vladimie is a riot! Perfect landing.
Thank you for sharing this video. One can note, that the captain is making numerous adjustments all the while, and that is, I guess, a main principle: "It is better to make many small adjustments, than fewer big ones." - especially when on short final.
What’s amazing is the amount of down elevator to get the big bird down. The wings must produce an incredible amount of lift 😊. Superb piloting skills. Coms between cpt n FO must be exceptional as he’s in control of the throttle. Thanks for sharing this unique perspective.
+Mike Hunt I think he means something else completely.. I was surprised to see a man flying it (it is a man right?) I thought he did very well, I liked the low flying he did just before landing.

that's a real pilot at work
Who needs a gym when this plane has the perfect workout
Didn't realize when it touched the ground. Smooth butter spread
It’s amazing to me that he can “feel” the plane that much to make these types of corrections.
I like how the engines sound like an ominous soundtrack!
Really cool camera angle!
Superb focus and control. Years of real world experience right there.
That guy landed that whale like a feather.
Crazy how much movement he is doing with his hands but doesnt look like the plane is moving at all
Thank you for sharing such rare footage. Great landing indeed.
Live from the Flight Deck swq
And that is how you land a very large plane with out computer assist, stay in front of the plane all the way, thanks for posting, great to see this.
I imagine his legs are working a marathon on the rudder pedals as well....
That wasn't just cool. That was sub-zero cool. Amazing video! Thank for the opportunity to see and virtually experience this moment from the AN-22 cockpit itself. Intriguing!!
I rode in one of these rattle traps from Kuwait City to Al Asad Iraq. I couldn't wait to get out of it and give the ground a big kiss.

YUP, the damn thing it's a flying time machine. That airframe has been TO HELL AND BACK.
Mishef that's right well said

@1:27 Look closely and you can see where they grow the Swiss army knives.
They only grow the handles in Zurich. The good quality blades are grown in the high Alps. :)
That is so awesome...I don't know how this landing could've been any more perfect.
One word about that landing: SMOOTH!
right on the touchdown mark :D
Every aviation enthusiast must watch this video, amazing.
Excellent! Great piloting skills to fly this huge monster and land it so soft!
Love the Low Muscular sound of those Six Lotarev Progress D18T Turbofans coming through even inside the Cockpit. Notice the pitch change after touchdown as he throttled back the power. Great video !!
My dodge Ram steering wheel acts just like that.
Those massive engines sound AWESOME. As a part time pilot I can see by his control inputs that the 225 is big and wallowy and probably a real handful on base and finals! Superb video!
Captain VOVA knows exactly what he's doing. Nailed that landing like the pro he is.
I was suddenly speechless when this video started, too good to be true to find such footage here.
These guys have my respect for sure.
The sound of those engines, truly mesmerising.
Dislikes from bad Ryanair pilots
Now this is piloting!!!
Amazing job!
I hope he gets paid well
I think I've sat in the cockpit of this particular plane, it's so big and very impressive.
that amazing soundtrack in the background...really suits the video. it gives an atmosphere of suspense...oh wait... it's the engines! Engines provides the best music XD
Just look at this bird.... what a beauty she is ?
the word beauty isn't strong enough, the Antei is mesmerizing, wonderful, just❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice video and as many said, great video placement! I am very surprised with the amount of input needed on the yoke and the resulting minimal aircraft response. Goes to show how much effort it takes to fly such a large plane! Great piloting!
This aircraft appears to be as responsive as a heard of cattle.
Sharif Rahimtoola
*drunk heard of cattle
Or even a herd.
yeh, a real pig.
That plane flew above my house on that day. It is indeed the bigest flying object on this planet. You dont even see a 747 when parked beside Antonov. Nice sound also😁
Best ever view from the cockpit....Thanks.
The landing was actually perfect, great crew.
WOW! Simply amazing! What a flying machine!! Fantastic!!
the low flying that was done just before landing was amazing.
I hope they were able to get it back in the air, be a shame if it could only fly downwards, I was once told to sit down and shut up.
Show some pictures of the aircraft. Excellent camera placement and aim!
Great video, love the sound of those engines!!!
I saw him taking off from my balcony!
Doggy McDogeface what was he doing landing on your balcony?
numbersix100 ahahahahahHa!!!😂😂😂😂
numbersix100 Ahahaha 😂
Shit, you must have a large balcony.
Oggy Oggy 😂😂😂😂😂
Damn, looks like at least a second lag time between control surface input and response.
Another amazing clip from the best, by the best.
Thank you very much, dear Air-Clips from Heaven!
From Italy: Great Job...Bravissimo e Mitico AN22😍🤩🤗
That's how I fly with my keyboard - constant input on the stick.
nice landing approach and an.awesome touchdown!. :-D
thats some beautiful landscape. Zurich must be a nice place
That was real smooth !
Landing was so smooth I missed it. Awesome footage
RIP to this masterpiece.. Machines that became a victim of war. God bless those suffering and killed due to war..
A beautiful landing. I enjoyed it very much. Thanks for sharing.
Dang... wrestling is right! Thanks!
awesome landing, definitely looks like a handful.
What a lovely monster bird!) AN-22 is a real airplane fro real airmen! The sound of engines - sweet music for my ears. Captain Vladimie is a riot! Perfect landing.
That landing lookes seamless well done
This looks like serious work even in calm and fair weather conditions. Hats off.
Outstanding work!
Rip Antonio you will be missed 😭
Wow, smooth as can be. It's an impressive plane.

anyone see the VICTORINOX commercial in the field? :)
No joystick, no computer assistant, just real man flying a real plane like a boss.
First- class pilot..... very professional!!!!!
Wow! that's like a wrestling match. I get stressed out just watching this. That's awesome footage!
wow what a perfect landing
Good for you Captain Vova! It was a great landing! Thank you! Молодец, капитан Вова! Бриллиантая посадка! Спасибо большое за удовольствие! 🙂
0:06 I knew planes have horns.
Very nice footage and good to see our lanyard.
What’s amazing is the amount of down elevator to get the big bird down. The wings must produce an incredible amount of lift 😊. Superb piloting skills. Coms between cpt n FO must be exceptional as he’s in control of the throttle. Thanks for sharing this unique perspective.
What a smooth landing. Didn't even noticed the touch down
Great Pilot and camera view!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wow the graphics look so real!
looks difficult to handle...
Yeah. I thought he was going to make the yolk dizzy trying to keep things sweet.
I'd call this aircraft sound as orgasmic! How satisfying, the prop rumble.
fantastic video - thanks for sharing
wow that is one clean runway
wow the control response..
what response? ^^
i think he means the responsiveness of the flight controls, e.g his yoke
control response
+Mike Hunt
I think he means something else completely..
I was surprised to see a man flying it (it is a man right?) I thought he did very well, I liked the low flying he did just before landing.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_control_system
You really have to wrestle that beast, that's some great flying.
Lovely touchdown.
The key of main engines sound is "G"! Amazing bass! :))
Excellent flying by a real pro. Good job
Fascinating - thanks for sharing.
Sweet flying!
