My uncle, brother of my grand mum, use to be the Lead of Romanian MIG15 Squadron, and he holds the absolute altitude record with this apparatus. He's also the only one, as my knowledge, to restart the engine in the air. Due to the radial turbo compressor, the engine needs a very long freefell before the pressure to allow a new startup. He died back in the mid 90's and he's name it was Gigi Dudu. I use to hangs with him some summers in my youth period, ...fixing he's red Dacia 1310 CN! :) A very nice and friendly guy. God rest him!

I went up in a MiG 15 20 odd years ago and I still remember every second of it. Learning how to combat G's with no pressure suit. It was a huge buzz. Got to fly it and do a barrel roll. Tough plane. Due to the angle of the wings, when it lands it causes ground effect and they literally have to dump it to get it on the ground. I remember the suspension bottoming out with a thud. Amazing day with Air Combat Australia
I flew in a -15 Ibis UTI in 1995 in northern California. Lots of work to maintain these birds.
Not a lot of room in cockpit if you're a tall person. Heavy on flight controls in flight I thought. Pretty neat experience.
@@831BeachBum Steering them on the taxiway is some fun
Every airplane has ground effect You just have to learn to write speed
@@Jatojammer
Ground effect is particularly dangerous with swept wing aircraft because the wingtips can stall, leading to a loss of aileron authority. If the stall worsens, the center of lift will shift to a point in which it's in front of the center of gravity, thus causing an unrecoverable pitch-up attitude at low altitude. The F-100 Super Sabre killed many pilots because by doing this "Sabre Dance".

I was _stunned_ at 6:12 to see just how pristine the cockpit is! It probably hasn't looked that clean and scratch-free since it left the factory more than half a century ago. Usually, old aircraft will have scratches and dents on every conceivable surface of the cockpit. Fantastic work!
In our city, such a MiG 15 stands like a monument in the memorial park in my neighborhood. As children, we explored this plane inside and out. That beautiful smell of sun-warmed aluminum
Been waiting for this one. I love the early cold war jets. There's just something really cool about the last of the gunfighters.
for real!
The official Last of the Gunfighters was generally considered the Vought F8 Crusader. Four 20mm cannons
@@therealjimmysworld If you need a back seater, I'll fly with ya.
@@therealjimmysworld what number mig is that Jimmy 1-2 or what mate ? ✌️🇬🇧edit whatever it is yes mate get that thing in the air and have u some fun son 😅👍✌️🇬🇧🇺🇸✌️
A10 has entered the chat.
Thanks Jimmy. There is something in every pilot that wants to keep these old birds flying. Appreciate your efforts in making it happen.
He's gesticulating like a maniac 😆
That's the coolest warbird. The opportunity to acquire that jet or similar aircraft is becoming rarer and rarer, and very hard to come by. This may never happen again, and you can't lose by fixing it up if you can handle the dough necessary to fix and maintain. I say GO FOR IT.
I have always loved that jet, its distinct contoured shape, lack of hard angled lines, speaks of vintage, though it does not look dated.
Matt Guthmiller on his UA-cam channel was flying a Mig 15 from 1954 a few days back good video to watch
I see that video and too was good, and a lot going on in the cockpit.
Ever see a Cougar...same Era? They look like they came out of the same Factory! Who made Who?
"Cougar" is the U.S.N.'s designation... There was one of our's called the "Panther". You hear alot about the mig- but not our Korean War Era U.S
Plane's.
@@akatripclaymore.9679 The Panther was the Grumman Grumman F9F-8 and the Cougar was the Grumman F9F-9. The Panther, the earlier model, first flew in ‘47 &, although I am an Air Force guy, I think it was the first operational carrier fighter. Just from its designation, you can tell the Cougar is a development of the Panther. The Panther was underpowered-like most early jets, but served in Korea mostly in ground support although it managed to down a MiG or two. The Cougar had swept-wings and a much stronger engine. It was introduced in the early to mid-fifties. Resemblence to the MiG-15 may be evident simply because of their post-war heritage. The US and USSR got a lot of jet tech from the same place- the Luftwaffe.
Does this Guy have Money to Burn?,and Does He even know how to fly?,Myself,I would Rather Own a North American F-86 Sabre Jet!,Just a Much Better Bird compared to it's Communist Rival!,in My Opinion!!!
Looks like a fun toy!
Oh yeah!
@@therealjimmysworld don't make it a competition between the plane youtubers! really dont like your whole god complex in this vid. @rebuild rescue's 401 was outside for 17 years with nobody maintaining it! your MIG 15 has been sitting in a hanger with qualified people looking after it for years. so please i urge you to not be a stuck up ass about other people. furthermore your buying this MIG 15 that has been babied and got started up for you on the flip-side Jason earned that 401 with his bare hands (LITERALLY) and had to work out mostly everything by himself. stay in your own lane and see if you can help one-another out rather than trying to flex the plane so much that you come across as a horrible piece of work!
HAVE A GOOD DAY!!!!!
I live in Portland Oregon and I still haven't been there! Thank you.
My dad flew for flight craft in the 60s and then went to Air west, Hughes Air west and then ended up retiring from NW Airlines.

You are living the Dream Jimmy. Would love to get a ride in that one. Owning, and operating it would be a fair bit out side my current financial capability.
The Life, Journey, & Documentation of the Mig is amazing.
Awesome piece of functioning military aviation history.
The current owners offer a wealth of information & hands on experience which is priceless.
The modifications are very well executed & the updated systems adding redundancy are very well thought out
I really hope Jimmy is able to cut a deal with the fellas.
This already is exciting content.
Congrats in advance.
That A Boy James !!!
I am 70 years old. I have not flown a plane since 1979. Just watching your Videos makes me feel YOUNG AGAIN, and your demeaner cracks me up!! My Filipino Wife Ana says I am grinning ear to ear when I am watching your Videos!!
Buy it!!!! If you haven't already then you should, That's a timeless classic you will regret never taking this opportunity jimmy
I look forward to these videos. im 56, have 40 hours of training (20 hours, 2 times 22 years apart) and never went the extra mile for actual license because of deployments, money and what not. I was 14 when i did my first training in a 152. I ran out of paper money, took one hour lessons per month, and just short of soloing. Same thing happened later, except i went on deployment and never made it back in the seat for training more.
Go for it Jimmy. You have Great Britain behind you here!
In case it hasn't already been pointed out, while this is a model of the better-known single seat MiG-15 "fighter jet", this particular sub variant is actually the two-seat trainer versiion.

nice little aircraft ! I have seen one flying in Bournemouth England . keep them coming Jimmy we like watching you from the other side of the globe :)
We love everything you’re doing Jimmy! Keep it up!
That MIGs got Jimmy written all over it! Definitely buy it! Love to see you fly it some day soon.
Get it!! Inspired to purchase a starter plane soon enough! Thanks Jimmy 🔥🔥🔥
I remember seeing photos of this back in the 90's. It was in the air and with another fighter with the name of Sabredance on its fuselage. They were some great photos, very rememberable. It was a cool jet then and even better now, get it!
Two old rivals the F86 saber jet and Mig used to go to air shows I saw them Chase each other's tails low level pretty neat
I am so pumped to watch this video!!! Your videos are literally the best thing, they are so good!! Keep up the fantastic work!!!
Thank you so much!!
@I MISS THE 90s👍😎 Why do you keep spamming this stupid question that has no relevance to the video at all? Are you a bot? Either way, the dude isn't stupid so I *highly* doubt he's going to give you medical advice of any kind 🤣. Also, (if you're not a bot) why do you, a) Ask Jimmy that question out of anyone else you could ask? And b) Think he has some kind of "secret" for this? Hell, you should talk to a damn medical professional if anything. I really hope you're not a bot because I'm genuinely curious, and I just don't understand why someone would make a bot to specifically spam this absurd question to Jimmy. It just doesn't make any sense. I guess it doesn't make any sense either way though...
Wish you great luck with your new Mig, you lucky chap.😃
Such a cool aircraft, I'd love to see one fly IRL and this is probably as close as I'll ever get.
I only flew one time. It was in the mid 70's. The lady was kind enough to give me a ride in her Piper Cub 62 (CF-OSI). It was so amazing that I was shaking from the sensory overload. I always wanted to be a pilot but, I suck at math so, I diverted my dream towards cars and small engines. Being afraid of heights came later on and, don't ask me where it came from. Jimmy's "youthful exuberance", is bringing me back when I was 12-13 years old, on that first and only flight.
Same. Suck at math and my vision sucks 😋
I think I gotta solution, ever tried microlights? You don't have to be amazing at maths to get one's license and it's relatively cheap. One of my instructors went and got his CPL and said he regrets not knowing about microlights sooner as he'd have gone straight for it. Furthermore if you can drive, then your vision is good enough.
As a former ARFF firefighter and Chief, thank you for the shout out… guaranteed you made that persons day. You’re a class act….BUY IT!!!
How beautiful is that 15? Utterly timeless.
Solid gold piece of aviation history.
I would imagine the MiG is one of those that requires many more maintenance hours than flight hours. If your goal is to have something to take to an airshow twice a year, that's probably great, but if you want to jump in it and go like you do with the lancair (Cameron? i forget the name), this ain't it. That said, if only for the epic videos we all get to watch, i hope you end up going for it anyway.
He said in the video the FAA developed a 100 hour maintenance schedule just for this aircraft.

@Dan K is that a mig 1 or 2 or what mate ✌️🇬🇧
@@markthompson9914 you should ask more times...
@@g60force ??? 🤷♂️ ??? ✌️
Jimmy, that's how they replaced the engine on A-4 Skyhawks. Two huge bolts on each side loosened up and slide the rear back, on its rack, then there is great access to the engine itself.
Gotta love the “Scooter “ !!
Best line ever in a video...'They said my fire extinguisher was not adequate', holds hands up to show whole fire truck. Solved.
Pretty cool! Surprising it didn't blow up on start up. Of course you need to buy it!
Assuming you fix the 310 completely, sell it for top dollar, you might get enough to take the jet around the airport once, assuming you could get it in flying condition. Good luck, Jimmy.
I love you Jimmy, but this MIG is going to be "Clear Wallet!!"
I love watching the good ol boys work on the Soviet plane lol.
Thank you for sharing.
I have years of experience with old migs... And they are great fun, as long as someone else is paying the bills. There are LOTS of MiG 15s for sale for a reason.
SERIOUSLY, go buy a nice L-39. Much cheaper to operate, much safer, and they don't have restrictive limits beyond which lies death, lol
I really hope you'll pass on the 15. Even go for a 17 if you really insist on an early MiG, but you will be so much happier in an L-39 or a Folland Gnat if you want supersonic.
Good luck. Check six.
I do have to say, while it wont carry the whole family, I think you could make several trips back and forth to get them all and about break even on time. Definitely not on fuel.
for real!
Came here after the Cleetus 50 cal episode. Very happy to see some an old fighter jet on here! Hope you have some other old warbird videos 👍🏻
there's one in a museum in my town ! hardly believed that this thing flies ! good job !
Yes I can’t wait. My Sunday is complete, thanks for the awesome content always.
Enjoy!
Love the content man keep up the great work
When it was first starting up it made me feel like it was gonna go * ping! * then at 7:13 cuts silent and a Mars Bar falls out the back, lol.
That's "technically" not a MiG-15. That's a license-built Polish copy, a "PZL-Mielec SBLim-2." That specific aircraft was built in 1955, NOT 1966. The company that built it (PZL Mielec) is owned by Sikorsky, which is itself a subsidiary of Lockheed Martin. It last flew in July of 2016. It has NOT been "abandoned" and has not been grounded for 12 years.
Ahh Mielec my city🥰
Awesome content. I grew up flying in a Beach F33, Piper Comanche 250 and an Alon Ercoupe and love to watch your adventures.
As much as I wanna see you work on and fly this thing, I also remember (from immediate short-term memory) what an apparently fruitless and expensive disaster it was to try to get the 310 in the air. Plus, I really love your channel and so from a purely selfish perspective if nothing else (as a new fan and subscriber who loves your content) don't wanna lose you in a Mig-15 accident. 😬
@clhoyt - I agree with you on this... He can donate it to an aviation museum, that can display this amazing plane... Jimmy gets the Tax W/O for his other business ventures, the museum gets to properly display this historic plane, Jimmy has more time & resources to work on the 310, , and we can see many more episodes from Jimmy, as He and the MIG get to live, longer/happier/more productive lives, without going down in this amazing 70 y.o. fighter jet.
As much as Jimmy plays I think he is a serious pilot when it comes down to safety.
Ghey comment
IIRC, one out of four pilots died just trying to fly the thing.
That spare Kilmov VK-1 engine in the trailer is a huge bonus.
It's so cool that I walked all around this jet and touched it back in the 80's when it was in that museum at Mesa, AZ, I just don't remember the name of the place. I understand it's been closed and all the aircraft sold. They were restoring a rare two seater Spitfire. So sorry that facility is gone.
From a DCS World player, the Mig-15 is one of the most overlooked planes (for some good reasons, but it's still awesome), and in my opinion the prettiest-sounding engine.
Well, after all, it is the British Rolls-Royce "Nene" engine, unwisely licensed by Duh UK to Duh USSR...
Congrats Jimmy on getting the JET running. sounds great. there's alot of upkeep to keep it running and flying. more tools to buy..
YES ….. BUY THAT MIG …. Such an AWESOME & Amazing Fighter Jet
love this guys energy
There is no better person to own this plane than you Jimmy :) Go for it
Fantastic, Jimmy! Best parts of the video? The excitement of the crew! The king kong chest thump, and your smiles!
DEFINITELY but the MiG! The ultimate fantasy flying toy with real history to it. Whatever it takes, take it home!!!
Sick! There was a place somewhere in North Carolina that had an old tank, a cannon and one of these Migs just parked in the lot. It was soooo long ago though I can't remember where it wasssss!
Hell yeah! Your notifications always brighten up my day 🙌
You're the best!
What’s up jimmy u and the crew are making great content keep up the good work
Thanks so much!
That was dope AF :) nice video
You've got all the body language of "I'M LEVEL10K GEEKING T/F OUT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!"
Cant say as I'd be any different. This is a great historical treasure.
Yes, you should buy the Mig!! Then upgrade your license to fly jets and go have a ball!! Flying a Jet is another experience all together and I think you would love it!
4 years after "this" aircraft was built, the Tomcat took to the air. Wish you could find one of those for sale. Still it is awesome, and once ruled the skies.
Yeah, a bit sad they cut em all up to avoid parts going to Iran. There's some British F/A 18s flying still though.

Wow.. great video, this is awesome 👍
It is such an elegant and purpose-built design. Pure dogfighter. Guns only. Upgrade avionics and power plant and it would still out-dogfight most jets in a guns-only battle.
No smoke, no flames weird considering you know what
Not really, MiG-15s don’t have an afterburner, so no burner plume, and lots of smoke on start typically only happens after an extensive amount of oil is placed in the engine to preserve it for long periods of time. For one of the first fighter jets, the MiG-15 actually burns fuel rather clean, so not a whole lot of smoke is trailed in flight. Google footage of the F-4 Phantom flying to see a plane that does not burn fuel very cleanly….
No, what?
Those centrifugal flow turbojet engines were rather fuel efficient once sorted out despite their portly girth. Have fun with it!
@@zachboyd4749 they do have afterburners
@@aj_2x170
No they don't, you're thinking of the 17. The MiG-17 did have an afterburner, but the MiG-15 didn't. The two are very similar in appearance, so it's easy to mix them up.
Jimmy, there's a YT video, about a week and a half ago, of a full flight in a 1954 mig15.
Includes the instructor- brief, preflight, startup and flight. You should watch this & maybe take a ride before buying this.
Search Matt Guthmiller.
Man you're living the life I would love to have. FLYING~!~ if it were me and I had the money... that question would never enter my mind...it would be a done deal already and it would be back at my place.
I am super impressed with the amount of work with just relabeling everything to English.
So beautiful! What a catch! Watching you in anticipation, like a little kid, is awesome. Cause that's how I felt. Subbed!
Keep up the great content
At the beggining of the video I was like "damn that Baron looks sexy" and Jimmy didn't dissapoint me at 11:08 showing her =)
Awesome Mig15!!!
This man is the Scotty Kilmer of aviation. Love it
I’ve always found the early generations of mig fighters to be like works of art , gorgeous planes. Ahead of their time for that period of time.
I really enjoyed that one Jimmy, lots of fun. I used to pass through a town in New Zealand called Pokeno on my way to work.
There was a mig fighter just like this in a yard under a plastic tent.
Often wondered if it flew again.
Awesome sound a jet winding up.

or let the wifey have some fun with the pastor and all sins will be forgiven!

Amazing video. If you can afford it go for it! The annual inspects are extremely expensive for those aircraft.
Maybe even consider selling tickets in Florida for rides to help off set costs.
That and airshows are about the only way to economically own one of these. But worth it I'd say
I would buy a ticket
Can't sell rides in experimental class. Only standard and limited category
If Jimmy sells his other planes and rents out his wife the annual inspects become manageable!
@@stevomcsteve9492 🤣
The thing you need to consider is the overall maintanence cost and the fact the engines are so very rare to come by and get certified.
But the youtube click value is priceless.
A mate at work put me onto your videos a week or so ago. Liked and subscribed. This is wicked stuff.
A bad, but awesome decision to buy. YOLO. 👍 I can let you practice on my jet scooter from hangar to ramp if needed. I also know where there's a T6 sitting at an airport near me.
Jimmy, MiG-15s are a handful to own and fly. As for the 56TC Baron, it is the fastest Baron ever produced….and the most expensive to maintain and operate. It would give you the 200 knot aircraft you are looking for to fly at a mere 40-45 gallons per hour.

No smoke at all? Well, I would wonder about the condition of the carbon seals, and the fact that the engine was not preserved while it sat so long. If you do this let us know everything the mechanic recommends, and what the oil consumption is in that thing.
That was the most quiet, turbine engine with the most invisible cool exhaust ever. Are you sure it actually started?
I was thinking it sounded like it was just spinning on the air turbine starter. Not actually running.
No smoke, it wasn’t running.
Mig-15s are extremely quiet for jets
there built to be quiet and not smoke. its why they where so deadly in there time. by the time you hear the mig you are dead.
