Cockpit Casual - INDIA (the Double-Repo)

- On this episode of Cockpit Casual, Steve & Bob head to Hyderabad India to grab two Airbus A320 NEOs from the now-defunct airline, "Go First". The project took place in early January of 2023 and these were actually the first two aircraft pulled by lessors prior to the airline ceasing operations. In other words, these aircraft would "go first"!
The duo from Nomadic flew from Philly to Doha on Qatar Airlines, then on to Hyderabad where they did some sightseeing around Charminar with the go-pros. The next day, Steve took left seat in the first aircraft and flew it to Istanbul via Cairo. After arriving in Turkey, they overnighted and the next day went right back to Hyderabad to grab the second aircraft.
The project took the better part of a week, and was a non-stop, action packed adventure from the start. As usual, the episode features original Jazz from Steve Giordano Sr and lots of great footage from the Cockpit and around the world.

Please never get rid of this channel! This channel is everything I love about aviation, in a shortly packed video. Love you guys!
Same, actually I have work to do tonight, but I had a few hours off and have been rewatching this episode half asleep before I need to get up drink a red bull and get back to work. But I do the other as well
@@EricBishard haha sort of a meditation eh? Good luck with whatever work you're up to
Been binge watching this channel for the last few days and I've gotta say this is unique aviation content was much needed - I purposely don't keep notifications on but since watching I need to keep up with these - Thanks for your hard work getting these out!
My pleasure! Enjoy!
Great Video’s!
Thank's guys, it seems ages since your last vid. Well up to your usual standard😊 great vibes and tunes🎼🎷🎸🎹🎺🥁 Keep on keeping on 🥰
@@CockpitCasual wow just discovered this channel,superb content 🎉
Right? How crazy is it that they're flying narrow and wide bodies under part 91, I'm jeans, t shirt and ball caps?
I could legit watch these all day.
There's something ancient and poetic about Nomads returning to Egypt.
Good job playing that music, too. Multi-talented!
This channel gives me some serious Parts Unknown vibes, and that’s in the best way possible, probably the best video in the series so far, Well done Steve 🙌
Huge compliment. AB was Definitely a major inspiration for me
Now that you mentioned it, yes, totally agree with this. it definitely has some Bourdain´s vibes. The way it is narrated, the editing, i absolutely adored AB and these series are one of my favorite things in YT. Congrats Steve. A viewer from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I'm a tin basher here in Canada. I LOVE THIS CHANNEL. Ferry pilots for the win, subscribed and sharing to all my plane friends, great videos don't change a thing
Appreciate that!!
I'm surprised that such a quality channel doesn't have more subscribers, although maybe it's better, because with a large number of subscribers, it goes beyond a hobby and becomes a job, and then it loses its appeal.
Yeah the TH-cam algorithm prioritizes channels that post often. The nature of how long these vids take to make unfortunately doesn’t play well with it.
Even so, they are a wonder to watch.
Even with the algorithm against you I have no doubt you will fly past 100k soon. Who knows, you could eventually earn more from you tube then ferrying aircraft’s. Lol
Did i hear ye right ye said yer next craft was a 757 to fly do ye both fly boing&airbus and are allowed to switch back and fourth on them?????
@@kevincallaghan3212 yep they have a type rating in them all
As an aviation enthusiast in India, I sometimes experience a sense of disappointment because the only opportunity get to watch cockpit videos in India is when someone from another country flies here, as it is prohibited domestically (SAD) . Nevertheless, I appreciate your efforts, and I particularly enjoyed the "7" callout.
Started off with crediting the whole team and I respect that! This channel is content relief from the usual aviation videos. Just as another user mentioned, this channel is like the Parts Unknown of aviation. Keep up the good work.
Thanks - we’ve got a great team here and I should get them in more videos!
It's not just your videos that interest me, I also love the jazz music that goes with them too! 👍
I was so excited to watch the video when the title said: INDIA. And the next best thing is: you guys visited Hyderabad, the city I live in. I just discovered this channel a week ago. Can't stop binge watching all of your videos. Hyderabadi Biryani, the best!!
For sure! Glad you found us….
Absolutely love these films. They make me realise that aviation is my passion and I'm so envious of what you guys do. I need to figure out how to change career paths into aviation.
Just do it!
Ya,I think I need a do over the last 25 years .
The slow editing, the music , the culture and the piloting is a form of art
Thanks!
I love it that I get to combine my love of jazz and aviation videos in one sitting! Always quality output guys!
Hey! My ideal viewer right here!!
Steve your editing has reached a new bar of excellence! You have matched the music to the situation at hand. Well Done Sir! As always a great trip report.
Thank you! Always learning & improving
I love the “Wings of Jazz” ! I think a new found admiration, thanks !
There is NO better show to watch late in the evening after a long a$$ day. If i fall asleep due to the perfect storytelling voice I can just rewatch over and over😂
Nice!
Steve, I cant thank you enough for blessing us with these movies... simply amazing
Love watching your adventures. Keep it coming!
Indian; based in California; avgeek; stumbled upon this channel a couple of months ago and binge watched all the videos within a week. Realized that uploads are spread around and so would have to patiently wait till the next one dropped.. subscribed all the same and decid3d to join the list of waiting fans…Imagine my eyes popping out when YT notifies me that the next video dropping involves India! Santa decided to come a quarter early but I’m not complaining.. Great job as always guys!! Back to the wait for the next one now ;)
Awesome thanks man!!
I’ve probably watched all the older videos five times waiting for this, so hyped 🥳😆
Another Beautifully put together adventure Steve. I love these so much.. Cannot wait for more to come in the future.
Another absolutely exceptional video Steve. I can imagine that a large part of the job is fairly monotonous... interspersed with some really interesting moments. You edit and film these flights fantastically, with just the right balance to keep the viewer engaged, and interested. This latest video must have been your longest upload to TH-cam by quite some margin. Thoroughly enjoyable, and the video finished after what felt like 5 mins. I wish you and Bob blue skies, direct routings, immediate take offs, and zero ATC delays for the future.
Much appreciated!
As a first time viewer seeing 2 americans flying to places like India.. im so suprised (in a positive way) seeing how you guys embrace the culture and explore the places. Im now a subscriber :D!
Yeah - we travel to 50-60 countries per year and have been doing so for nearly 20 now. Still try to get out and about as much as possible. Thanks for the comments! Glad you enjoyed it
Your videos are always worth the wait! Looking forward to many more in the future (hopefully)!
Bob is a legend he reeks of worldwide widebody experience and big picture flying, love to fly with him and learn everything he knows!
It’s true - he’s seen it all!
As a pilot on the Embraer for KLM we do some long(ish) days up to 11 hours / 4 legs a day and sometimes when I feel like complaining about another delay and long working day I think about you guys and know not to complain because goddamn you guys are next level! Thanks for making these videos, so great to see another side of our aviation world but I wouldn’t want to trade with you haha! You guys seem to enjoy it and congrats to making the business and the TH-cam channel such a succes. Cheers from a colleague at another crew hotel somewhere in Europe!
I don't know how you guys do it...fun to see you both in action. The JAZZ is perfect for your video, time lapses etc. I really enjoy this so much. I am sure this is a ton of work to put out this content on top of your job of flying around the world, but know its much appreciated. Thank you!!!! Continued safe skies for you and every one at Nomadic!
Thank you!!
My next flight will be Porto OPO to Los Angeles LAX via Madrid on Iberia, first trip to Madrid on an A320 and the next one on an A350, watching these always makes me long for longer trips around this beautiful Earth.
Steve and Bob are for me the Anthony Bourdain of aviation. Love this
😀 love that comparison!! Clearly one of my inspirations
@@CockpitCasual may we enjoy the gift of life, as we only live once.
All the best guys 🍀
This is the best channel on TH-cam or anywhere else for that matter. I can always patiently wait for the next adventure! 💕
Very much appreciated my friend
Some of the best aviation videos out there. Thanks so much for your time and effort so that we can ride along.
Congratulations Steve, Bob and the rest of the team you are tied with Blancolirio as my #1 youtube channels. It is quite an accomplishment to keep up with Juan Browne. Good work.
After discovering your channel 4 months ago and promptly binging all the videos, I’ve been anxiously waiting for a new video. Worth the wait! Thanks Steve and Bob for bringing us along!
Good on y’all treating your employees so well… I’m still early in my career in aviation as a A&P but one day I hope to be in a position like yours. Hopefully with a bit of time, right decisions, and hard work we will get there.
Best aviation channel ever! And That is is such a cool job!
Thanks again for the very interesting ride(s) This is, hands down, the absolute best TH-cam channel in my opinion. Must be quite a job just to keep all those ratings up to date. My deepest respect for you being able to making these high quality videos among, I guess, all the stressful situations you might get into despite having a great support team. Thanks again.
Kudos to Steve Sr for the jazz music. First time watching, very much enjoyed. Thank you!
Stoked. Notification set.
Was watching Bob on Facebook, found you guys while skimming TH-cam. So pleased to have found you, such a great video.
Definitely one of the best jobs in the world.
Thanks and keep up the great work.
Hell yeah Steve love your vídeos and this is honestly an inspiration for me.
Next week im getting training in the A320 and hopefully one Day I cam work for ya.
Sounds good! Good luck with training
Finally, I have a Saturday night with no plans, no kids, to watch this hour-long video with a kick-ass bottle of wine and no disturbance from my phone! These guys are great, and I love their videos and tweets or X's. I can't wait until the next one. I recently sold my business in Scottsdale, not far from Bob's kneck of the woods, that would have been great running into him.....I'm in Mesa now. Great content Steve & Bob!
Thank you!!! Very much appreciated
If you pay for the trip to India for a week, I'll STEAL a jet for you. I'm only type-rated for the 747-100, 200 and 300 in Flight Simulator (MS) but I'm willing to learn ;) (Nestle Crunch)
Cannot get enough of these videos and the stories you tell.
Here's a bit of environmental trivia for the chemtrail fans >
who was Rosalind Peterson? > & extra credit...why did the UN invite her to address the Climate Committee in 2007?
& for the record....ALL contrails are chemtrails > but don't want to overload the flyboy's here with too much info🤯
RIP Rosalind Peterson 🙏 Founder of The Agricultural Defense Coalition & Author of The Anti Geoengineering Legislation that was introduced in Rhode Island in 2016/17.
Her UN presentation/address can still be found on YT. Strongly encourage all to take a few minutes to expand ones environmental knowledge base, especially for the indoctrinated pilots out there.
Rosalind was clearly another targeted individual who was very bravely speaking truth to power.
Yes all contrails are "chemtrails" in that they are formed by chemical byproducts of combustion in the engine, mainly water vapor that condenses due to the hyperlocalized increase of relative humidity and then freezes, aswell as soot particles that serve as nuclei for condensation. Though any further exploration of the process would probably vastly overstrech y'alls educational horizon, if that's not already the case.
@@ClimateDudefancy yourself above everyone else’s intelligence? WHY? Contrails ARE chemtrails. After all- they don’t form on pixie dust, do they? But we all agree on that, but WAIT! There’s MORE! Now there’s also an increase in ISSR’s- ice super saturated regions. YES!! But wait they’re MORE!! WHY? Do you know why there’s more ISSR’s than before? (And while we’re at it- funny that last time i checked, ISSR’s were conveniently absent from NOAA’s dictionary of meteorological terminology, but i digress!) SOOO… WHY is there more water vapor at higher altitudes than there historically used to be? Well contrails do lend to the addition of ISSRs (naughty little secret)… but you know what else we’re witnessing that affects water vapor daily but is being ignored?? ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGIZING via Doppler radar! That’s right class, welcome to your climate change! Or am i surpassing YOUR level of knowledge now? Science isn’t just what’s taught in the books & propaganda. It’s what’s visible every day. We’ve triangulated on Doppler acting and THEN the weather reacting for years and in more ways than one. My original channel was taken down so we’re still getting the evidence up but we have it. We might not have the numbers that see, yet, but science is science and YEARS of radar observation DO NOT LIE! “Even small changes in the location and abundance of clouds can change the climate more than the anticipated changes brought about by greenhouse gases, human produced aerosols or other factors associated with global change” -NASA
SCIENCE.
But basic science and radar observation aside, despite most persistent contrails not needing to be sprayed to exist, it still doesn’t give you authority to discount the millions who witness anomalies that prove not all contrails are forming via ISSRs that are deliberate dispersals, that many people are seeing side by side planes acting differently; contrails turning off and on, contrails at altitudes that aren’t justified, and mass sickness on certain “contrail “ days that happen to have a whole host of extra planes that aren’t part of standard aviation traffic. You want to act like we don’t know what’s up there but the fact is YOU don’t know what all is and isn’t up there, DO YOU? Or DO you?? lol! Patents abound, and just siting some basic science doesn’t explain away the REST of the science, but NICE TRY!
You don’t think I of all people would blow the lid off of a real conspiracy if there was one? I mean, I answer to no one. I’m my own boss… I’m on the more liberal and environmentally conscious side….
Well, while it’s factual that the byproduct of combustion does create tiny particles of burned “chemical” material upon which the water vapor condenses on, it’s also true that we’re exhausting that shit along with massive amounts of CO2 whether there’s visible moisture or not - so the whole chemtrail nonsense is exactly that. Nonsense.
I'm a private pilot who was going to make it a career 25+ years ago, but decided against it as I couldn't afford the cost of training. I've been watching all kind of different types of flying contenct for years, but some how I found your channel about a week ago and just can't stop watching. This is my second go around on this episode. I never knew this type of business was out there. I just love the fact that you found this little sliver in aviation world and made an amazing business out of it. So cool...so jealous! Please keep up the content as it means I can live out my dreams thru you guys!
Excellent videos!! I look forward to your future trips!!
Absolute gem of a video with some world class jazz! Thanks All!
Thanks for the Hyderabad tour. I was a missionary kid many years ago and lived a few hours drive from there.
Wow Perfect Sunday afternoon for me, glass of wine and an hour of pure bliss , It’s been a long wait , but t totally worth it ,
Thanks Steve
Cheers!
this was a movie! not just an episode. loved every minute of it and how you manage to get us viewers to feel as if we are part of the trip right there next to y'all!
keep up the fantastic work!
Much appreciated
Wow. Where were you guys when I was in my working years? Never knew such entities existed, or at least in the volume that they do now. I have nine type ratings and had a career in corporate aviation for over 36 years before I retired and loved it for the variety and adventure that the airlines could never match. I got to see every continent as well as small, medium, and mega cities in every state and US territory but you guys really have it made, not having to deal with caterers, passenger whims and arrangements, etc.
I don’t think you can really be a pilot unless you enjoy and play jazz music. Bravo. Benge Burbank 5X
Third time watching it for me. I learn something new every time
‘Ah, now there’s lettuce in the speedbrake’. I love this film.
And you thought the NEO was “green” just because of its fuel efficiency!
You guys have the coolest jobs ever for me
10/10 for the thumbnail ....looks like a movie poster
I just recently found you guys and love the content. I fly many miles for work, mostly in comfort, so it’s great to see all the behind the scenes stuff you show. Again, great stuff, and thank you.
the joy of side sticks. Having a tray to hold your food!
The vibes, the jazz, the food, the views... all immaculate. Love this job
Best Aviation Show on the Internet... just got done watching... and what an amazing adventure... i think i'm gonna go back and watch some of the older one... Always good to see you guys back in action... Cheers Steve and Bob.... sending you best wishes from LAX
Cheers man!! Will give you a buzz next time I’m out there
Tidy, sharp film as ever, and good to see proper music credits for proper music! Respect, and looking forward to the next one!
What a brilliant travelogue with a unique insight to a different side of the world of aviation that is usually portrayed on TH-cam....great job guys😀
Glad you enjoyed it!
You guys are so much fun to follow.
My new favorite channel. Thanks guys. Just flat out excellent content, editing, background music and humor! Gosh, you guys are fortunate. I once had a successful business career, but health forced me to lose it all. So I don't get to travel anymore. And these videos give me at least some enjoyment. Thanks and God bless. And remember to be thankful for the life you were given, and worked hard for I'm sure. (Maybe some more cockpit and radio chatter clips? Fascinated by the difference in aircraft you must have to be familiar with, or at least figure out!) Would you like a videographer?!! Would love to.
Hey Steve, I love the channel as an aviation geek. I tend to re-watch your videos in phases of two too three months and enjoy every minute of it. For me your videos are like stress busters.
Keep up the grind and never stop making aviation content.
Greetings from Canada🇨🇦
You made my day Steve. I love cockpit casuals. Thanks!
Someone on reddit posted this video today.
Man, you made yourself a great video here.
Great production, excellent music and super storytelling.
Not to mention you guys are working one of my dream jobs by ferrying aircraft around (although I'd rather be down low in small planes).
safe flying. Looking forward to checking out more videos here.
The music makes it awesome! Your Dad is great!!!!!!!!!!!
44:10 perfectly blocked and everything. Well directed!😂
Another awesome Cockpit Casual Steve!!! I could watch these every week!!!
Thanks for letting me live vicariously. Really makes me wish I could actually pass a medical so I could do the same but this'll do otherwise.
Enjoyed the video very much!
Amazining content, just saw Bob promoting this channel on his TikTok. Immediately subscribed.
Wow….. Your log books must be jammed…. Another great video…. Thanks for sharing
Never let the Keyboard Commandos get to you ! BY FAR the best aviation channel ever.. WELL DONE !
Great channel, it uplifts the young future pilots about aviation and world traveling. I'm retired 737 SW capt, started my career out of the USAF then flew for Janet Airlines, then Southwest. Great Ride!
You've said too much, expect my call. 😐
Janet!!!! All be.
Love this channel for the way you detail the timeline of your journey. 🛫
Great content, great editing and btw. really tasteful background music....👍 greetings from LOWW
Steve your videos are the best ones about aviation on You tube, they are so naturally and not inflated. Steve you have the most pleasant voice to listen to among all aviation videos that are shown on TH-cam. I have been in aviation for over 40 years and retired couple of years ago. Your videos bring back good memories from my days at NWA. I hope that you keep on producing these excellent videos together with the fabulous background jazz music for many more years to come
My wife will say that I don’t sound like that in real life! Lol. Thank you!!
Fantastic piece of film !!
I've loved watching your videos ever since you started a couple of years ago. Everytime you disappear for a while I think "OMG!! They've gone off-line and we won't see these amazing trips anymore." ...and then another trip pops up. Thanks for coming back and thanks for another superb video with Steve Sr.'s great music...
Cheers man!
First time watching your work, this is brilliant and engaging. The music is top drawer, as well as the respect for the artists. But the highest compliment I can give is how much this felt like The Endless Summer. In its own way. Well done, you easily earned a new subscriber. Thank you.
I’ve never seen your videos till now. So enjoyable. I really appreciate your voice over narration, especially since I’m not a world traveler or aviator in any way. But as a former Air Traffic Controller and family & friends who are GA pilots and Military Pilots (son in-law, Captain of P-8 Poseidon), I’m always entertained by content like your providing. All the best.
Appreciate it!!
As a career airline guy, the HI vacation for everyone at the company you provided looked so incredible. That is exactly the type of thing that is going to make your company successful. I've had my eye on NMD for a while and maybe one day I'll throw my name in the hat for charters with the 5 different types I have on my cert. Keep the videos coming man! Great work!
👍🏼👍🏼 thanks man. Yeah that was a good spend that trip…
Just found this channel fantastic. I have zero hours when can I start. Lol well done thank you.
Can't get enough of Steve and Bob. It's always a great day when we get a speedtape film.
Hi their, came across this channel this morning and watched the whole lot. Great to fly around the world with you from my armchair. I love flying and im sure if it where easier to fly in the UK as it seems to be everywhere else in the world I would have been flying 40 years ago. At 62 it's great to watch and learn with you and the team. I also love the music, beast of both worlds
Wishing you all the best.
Regards Richard 🇬🇧
Cheers Richard (from London at the moment)
Great channel with great tunes to carry the video! Looking forward to more of it!!
Great videos guys I love your content please keep posting. I’m an aviation geek and this is gold thanks guys
Blown away by the content of your channel, absolutely amazing, it is because of channels like these I barely watch tv shows anymore.
I love this channel. Please upload more videos!
What a cool-ass job you guys have. Holy crap.
this was a phenomenal watch , 1 hour went by quick , kudos to you and bob
Excellent stuff, well worth the wait. Thank you.
just stumbled across this channel. It's entertaining, informative and educational and the music's pretty good. Well done.
Opening TH-cam to see a new episode of Cockpit Casual is like being a kid on Christmas all over again. After 3 long years of instructing I'm finally heading to Regional training shortly so that maybe I can be half as cool as you guys one day! Love the videos. Thank you for them.
Congrats on the job!
@@CockpitCasual Thank you!
This is a big dream of mine. Looks like a great way to make a living. I’m sure the complexities of getting to this point, the paperwork, and all else that goes into this logistically makes it a lot harder then portrayed but despite all that I still want to strive to fly for you guys someday or even have some sort of ferry job of my own even though I am early into my commercial and instrument rating. I’m sure there is no particular path or way of getting to this point in your career and that’s the magical part of it in a way. Keep it up guys. These are the best videos for aviation on the internet. 🤙🏽 a video explaining the more complicated side of things would be really cool. Anyways. Have a great one!
Thanks man! Will keep adding more details including technical stuff…. Appreciate the comments
@@CockpitCasual awesome. Can’t wait for the next one
Fantastic channel! Subbed, keep up good work!
This video is my new favorite on how India is captured through a different lens, at the grass roots!
So few in America have been to India - my intent was to give a taste of what it would look like to just “jump in” with no plan! That’s basically how we roll 😂
@@CockpitCasual That is so true. This channel is onto something!
Another mesmerising video.
