I agree, at some point this becomes like a hallucinated dream. I can totally imagine showing this in some chill out scene in a busy electronic dance party where people would come and relax, looking at some beautiful footage and high spirited electronic music.
Yeah, this is so well edited. The perfect mix of relaxing music, pleasant narration and amazing aviation visuals and insights. If Justplanes is "aviation-p**n", than this is aviation-cuddling :D
Whoever has the Zynski's on deck at 9:08 is awesome. I always have a pack with me and a pack on deck when I am going anywhere. A nice little nicotine buzz is sometimes all you need when you're a little stressed.
I have piloted this particular aircraft 2 years ago. Gives an odd feeling seeing it on screen. (completely agreed on the lawn chair pax seats) Great videos btw. I am absolutely hooked to this channel! Also, props to Mr Steve Giordano Sr for the wonderful Jazz soundtracks. Keep up the wonderful work. See you in the 3rd part of this series.
@@CockpitCasual oh no! You know what is super cool? This channel. Storytelling is an absolute artform and you sir are nailing it. Would love to come across you tête-à-tête. Cheers!
Waiting for new episodes gives me a chance to go back and watch some of the earlier episodes. These are an absolute pleasure to watch. Steve, your production is top notch. This is network worthy. Thanks for the extra work you put in to narrate and score. it's next level, man!
These really are masterclass videos on TH-cam, the quality, the storytelling, the captivation, Steve, you really have a talent that very few on YT possess.
I have to say Steve as I continue to churn through the videos, this is the best pilot experience channel I've seen. The way it's filmed and of course the music capture the imagination. Your narration and expertise really outshines the competing channels.
I knew ferry pilots were a thing, but I had no idea how you do what you do… exceptional production quality. Thank you for taking the time and effort to share your world with us. Well done and blue skies sir!
just stumbled across this channel today and for the non pilot, a channel that has videos of casually flying wide body jets all over is beyond comprehension. I mean to have a triple 7 pull up and to jump in and fly wherever and then pick up a dream liner with not a paying soul onboard is wild to me. This is high school me's dream.
Very Well Done. Steve you could easily make a living as a Documentary Filmmaker/Narrator. This has got to be one of the best TH-cam channels. Carry On.
Once again a top notch production. The amount of detail you put in your commentary is fantastic. I learn a lot each time. It’s also super cool to see you jump between flying the Boeings and the Airbus, I’d imagine that takes some getting used to and knowing the flows and procedures for each airplane. Impressive work as always man. Take care and fly safe!
Thanks!! Glad you noticed. Just brought some new audio gear and am experimenting with getting better quality audio. Should start showing up this summer in videos, as I still have a backlog of trips to edit!
Absolutely fabulous! The trip, the narration, the music... Just awesome! Thank you for this insight into the lives of ferry pilots. You guys are lucky. Looking forward to the next part.
Man, the last time I was over that SW Asia part of the world was 2005 and was in multiple military aircraft. I had pictures but a hard drive crash lost them. I still have the hard drive, hoping to get those back some day.
I am hooked on this series, beautifully shot gives a wonderful incite into the ferrying of planes and all the headaches and planning involved. Please continue to make these episodes. I wonder why this hasnt gone viral hopefully will do soon
Brilliant as always , thoroughly enjoyable. I find it incredible that to fly an airbus from Australia to France for maintenance then lease it out is economically viable. But obviously it is. Victorville must have some at least. Looking forward to Part 3
Hi guys, great show, well done. Takes me back many years flying the 74 classic cargo across Asia, trays of great satay and fruit from Bangkok on the pedestal for hours and steak out of Sydney. Don't miss the hours of Bombay and Burma HF , diverting off the airway for cb's in Southern China and getting yelled at by ATC that we would be intercepted, we ended up flying over Laos airspace( without clearance cause northern Laos had no ATC) than for diversion b4 back on airway, glad to be in Hongkong safe and sound. Now mainly North and South America's , enjoying the topography there, it's gorgeous ( Quito, BA, Bog etc). Enjoy guy's because before you know it's over, time travels fast. Many happy landings!
I used to watch Stevo Kenevoo, Premier 1 Driver, Citation Max and Baron Pilot. But your stuff is just so much more educational and interesting. Great work. I really hope you could get many more views as you deserve it. Until now i have only watched about 6-8 episodes, but i like what i see. Keep going. BR Peter
This is exactly the kind of flights I do on flight sim - as a college student, I often don't have long blocks of time to set aside for "proper" long haul flights (not that watching after an autopilot for 12 hours sounds appealing in the first place, but I digress...) but putting aside an hour or two for a quick flight is something that I can do. I've devised a horrid plan to fly across the world in 300-1000nm legs, and I might end up doing it over the next few months. You're literally living my dream, and I find myself fairly jealous of it lol btw your taste in music is 11/10
Thanks Kelly! All the music is original stuff performed by my father! Let me know if you want the FPL routes for this trip for your sim session! You can contact me through the speedtapefilms website
@@CockpitCasual The fact that your father had performed all of these songs and you're now able to use them in your own content is amazing, it's always a musician's dream to have their work featured in someone else's work. And maybe I'll try and recreate this trip someday in the future, I'm still figuring my way through the controls (more so blundering, but progress is progress lol) and one day I hope to recreate this journey c:
Yeah HF in that part of the world is bad. Too many airplanes on there and I thing the ATC radio equipment is just old: that was particularly bad and you may be right. I think it was AM bleed over
It amazes me how you guys understand everything on the comms! English is not my native language, but I read and write it with confidence. But when I hear the towers or other radios on the comms I really struggle to understand what they say. I wonder if other pilots also struggle with this, even when English IS their native language.
The unintelligible HF SSB transmissions you heard were probably at least 1Khz below your freq of 11318. Love the videos and the great background music! I wondered where you got it until I saw your recording session video. Thanks!
I have lived and worked in Oman on and off for 20 years. I work in the Oil and Gas industry. If you ever get a chance to revisit. Do it ! One of my favorite countries I have lived in. Keep up the awesome videos !
The choice to show most of the approach to Cairo was a good one - thoses images were just captivating and stunning. The music brings a totally new dimension to the experience. I mean it is even better than the chillout parties back in the days of clubbing. And where are you gonna find these "tunes" anyway lol.
Man, I thought it was a blast flying my Piper Dakota from Nevada to Guatemala (and back!), but this gig beats that by a mile. I'd love to be doing this.
I have so much of that atmospheric stuff from "Symbiosis" recorded by my father, that it's sometimes hard to pick the best one for the scene - but this one REALLY worked! Thanks!!
Continue loving this series. Keep up the fabulous work and narration approach. ‘Nomad 356, turn right vector 350 and overfly the Suez to give a zillion dollars of global trade a view of your 320 underbelly”. -lol Hey, awesome music as well!
Nothing but awesome! Perfect story telling that’s giving me geography lessons at the same time. Can’t wait for part 3! Well done. Oh, and you got to love a Tim Tam!
Not to be dramatic, but this is award winning documentary stuff. Blown away. You should think about submitting this to a network or for some Sundance type of thing. Well done and thank you!
Great episode as always! Greeting from Muscat, Oman. Glad you had a short but good time in Oman. If you ever have a chance try traversing Oman from south it's much scenic that way especially if you follow the coast. Also, would be my pleasure to show you guys around Muscat if I ever get a chance to.
very nice report, again. Love the non-routine of these ferry missions. Some looooonnng duty times/days... Looking forward to the next episode , and new missions. Keep up the good work!
Super long. Especially since Covid. The best part of the job was getting out every few hours and seeing different parts of the world. For now, it’s more mundane and the days are VERY challenging due to restrictions. Things seem to be moving in the right direction now - thank god
Never stop making these. The music, the visuals, the story… just fantastic
Thanks!! Glad you get the vision 😎
I agree, at some point this becomes like a hallucinated dream. I can totally imagine showing this in some chill out scene in a busy electronic dance party where people would come and relax, looking at some beautiful footage and high spirited electronic music.

Music in particular
Steve is such a great storyteller - I swear that I could happily listen to him commentating on paint drying.
😂 appreciate that. That’s pretty much what some of these flights feel like.
Yes you can just lay in the dark and meditate with your eyes close and just visualize what he is seeing.
Found this channel yesterday...binge watching everything. Awesome stuff!
Whoever has the Zynski's on deck at 9:08 is awesome. I always have a pack with me and a pack on deck when I am going anywhere. A nice little nicotine buzz is sometimes all you need when you're a little stressed.
That’s me! Yep I’ve always got a few cans in the bag
The soundtrack is just right for the scenery and the dialog. Every episode is a gem.
This is brilliant, never imaged being hooked to the life of ferry pilots but this is just what I’m looking for, adventure! 👍🏾🌍
It’s certainly that! I love sharing these adventures with the world. For the last 15 years the stories only existed in my memory!
I have piloted this particular aircraft 2 years ago. Gives an odd feeling seeing it on screen. (completely agreed on the lawn chair pax seats)
Great videos btw. I am absolutely hooked to this channel! Also, props to Mr Steve Giordano Sr for the wonderful Jazz soundtracks. Keep up the wonderful work. See you in the 3rd part of this series.
Thanks so much Varun! Ah you’re an indigo pilot? Very cool. Was a pretty good ship!
@@CockpitCasual oh no! You know what is super cool? This channel. Storytelling is an absolute artform and you sir are nailing it. Would love to come across you tête-à-tête. Cheers!

Really appreciate it Darrin. More soon!
These really are masterclass videos on TH-cam, the quality, the storytelling, the captivation, Steve, you really have a talent that very few on YT possess.
Really appreciate that! Trying to do something ‘different’
I have to say Steve as I continue to churn through the videos, this is the best pilot experience channel I've seen. The way it's filmed and of course the music capture the imagination. Your narration and expertise really outshines the competing channels.
Appreciate that! People seem to be catching on! Maybe we will hit 100K by next year 🤷🏻♂️🤞🏼
I knew ferry pilots were a thing, but I had no idea how you do what you do… exceptional production quality. Thank you for taking the time and effort to share your world with us. Well done and blue skies sir!
Cheers Joe, glad you enjoy it. It’s a very small and normally opaque side of the industry - which is why I decided to film it!
Simply watching your videos makes me want to call in fatigued; for a week.
just stumbled across this channel today and for the non pilot, a channel that has videos of casually flying wide body jets all over is beyond comprehension.

They pay US even!
Best aviation channel on youtube. great mix of piloting,traveling,golfing,and exploring new parts of the world
The best things!
That feeling of hitting the pillow after a long haul is indescribable. So tired but feels so good.
Except then I always wake up 3 hours later wide awake! ALWAYS!
Holy smokes, the housing density of Cairo is off the charts. Unbelievable!!
Very Well Done. Steve you could easily make a living as a Documentary Filmmaker/Narrator. This has got to be one of the best TH-cam channels. Carry On.
Once again a top notch production. The amount of detail you put in your commentary is fantastic. I learn a lot each time.

Definitely takes getting used to - I am rated on 10 aircraft types and am presently current on 7!
@@CockpitCasual Now that is impressive! Thanks again for the reply Steve, take care!
Mesmerizing…the music is divine!
Appreciate that 👍🏼
My kind of channel. Screw the cabin reviews. You guys are the real deal!!
Nice work. A packet of Tim Tams is a meal in itself!.
This is why I’m fat
@@CockpitCasual If you ever need any let me know….:D
Wow, Cairo is such a drab city from the air!
I think it’s magical! It is quite color coordinated though..very earth colored!
Blows my mind something as cool as that is just available for everyone to watch.
👍🏼 glad you dig it
each video’s production and quality gets better and better. Nice work Steve 👍
Thanks!! Glad you noticed. Just brought some new audio gear and am experimenting with getting better quality audio. Should start showing up this summer in videos, as I still have a backlog of trips to edit!
Pilot here. You’re right about Oman. I lived there and flew from Muscat for several years. It’s a wonderful country.
Absolutely fabulous! The trip, the narration, the music... Just awesome! Thank you for this insight into the lives of ferry pilots. You guys are lucky. Looking forward to the next part.
The beautyful music of Oregon fits perfectly!
Thanks to your videos, I'm developing an appreciation for Jazz.
I also like the detail you give about the planes you fly. Thank-you.
Glad to hear it… that is my father’s goal! To generate interest in the art form!
Love the jazz in the background btw
I think i just watched the best aviation video on TH-cam so far
Amazing soundtrack as always... Aaand that view of Cairo is simply mindblowing! Tks for another awesome video!
Glad you liked it
Big fan of your channel. Thanks for showing one of the little-seen sides of aviation.
Well there goes the week... Tell my family I'll be here watching if they need me. Great stuff
Ok, this is the third video I watched in a row on your channel, there's just something special about the production of these videos.
Just wait! More to come and the next set are REALLY significantly better 😎
Man, the last time I was over that SW Asia part of the world was 2005 and was in multiple military aircraft. I had pictures but a hard drive crash lost them. I still have the hard drive, hoping to get those back some day.

Hopefully! Thanks so much
This surely has to be one of the best TH-cam channels …
Really appreciate that!
Spacetet doing a Ralph Towner composition got my attention. Thanks for this series, great as usual!
Yep great tune… one of my favorites that they did. I love the sax and trumpet playing parallel like that… it’s a unique sound isn’t it?
Brilliant as always , thoroughly enjoyable. I find it incredible that to fly an airbus from Australia to France for maintenance then lease it out is economically viable. But obviously it is. Victorville must have some at least. Looking forward to Part 3
As a 20 year 320 guy, just gotta say how much I enjoy these. Well done!
Hi guys, great show, well done.
Takes me back many years flying the 74 classic cargo across Asia, trays of great satay and fruit from Bangkok on the pedestal for hours and steak out of Sydney.
Don't miss the hours of Bombay and Burma HF , diverting off the airway for cb's in Southern China and getting yelled at by ATC that we would be intercepted, we ended up flying over Laos airspace( without clearance cause northern Laos had no ATC) than for diversion b4 back on airway, glad to be in Hongkong safe and sound.

Enjoy guy's because before you know it's over, time travels fast.
Many happy landings!
No doubt my friend. One of the reasons I wanted to document it all! Keep a record of it all for posterity
Cairo approach, with music, ATC and narration 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Glad you liked it! That was some original avant- grade stuff from my dad!
I used to watch Stevo Kenevoo, Premier 1 Driver, Citation Max and Baron Pilot. But your stuff is just so much more educational and interesting. Great work. I really hope you could get many more views as you deserve it. Until now i have only watched about 6-8 episodes, but i like what i see. Keep going. BR Peter
So good. Best aviation channel on the internet.
Thanks man!!
@@CockpitCasual The music too is just 🤌
It's incredible how you make a narrowbody ferry trip across the world feel like a roadtrip across the US
Thanks! Yeah it’s kinda like that, but with less sleep!
Haha yes, like a road trip but more epic on every level. Thanks for letting us into your world

Thank you for watching! Spread the word 😎
Another excellent episode as usual. Top notch music too 👍👍
Safe travels today as well Steve & SkyDogZen & crew 👍🤞
Thanks! We made it. Now trying to stay conscious long enough to make my flight back to Philly
Another great story Steve. That HF out of Jakarta sounded like they were on the wrong side-band
Yeah HF in that part of the world is bad. Too many airplanes on there and I thing the ATC radio equipment is just old: that was particularly bad and you may be right. I think it was AM bleed over
Love your videos, the music, everything. Keep on flying and filming...
It amazes me how you guys understand everything on the comms! English is not my native language, but I read and write it with confidence. But when I hear the towers or other radios on the comms I really struggle to understand what they say. I wonder if other pilots also struggle with this, even when English IS their native language.
This is so different and so more enlightening than other flight videos.

You never fail to impress Steve! Can’t wait for episode 3

Best Channel on Aviation!
Incredible account. Very happy I found this!
Once again brilliant can’t wait for the next one .. starting point is my home town ybne welcome back anytime…..
Better than anything on mainstream TV. As usual, brilliant storytelling and compelling, enjoyable footage. Thanks! Andy, Leicestershire UK.
Thank you! Appreciate that - I literally figured out on my own how to do it all last year, and I feel like the quality improved each episode!
Really enjoyed this movie... great sond track too
Thank you for another great video. Keep them coming.
What a great series got me hooked!
phenomenal video, so glad you popped up in my recommendations.
Thanks! Word is getting out 😉
I must say your father is one hell of a musician
He’s definitely a Philly jazz OG
9:54 got to have the zyn ready, good call on the 6mg
I’ve tried to quit but it’s impossible. At least I don’t smoke anymore!
Love the content!!! Aren't you guys scared that both of you will fall asleep when you do these long hauls?
Nice to see Sri Lankan hospitality, miss my homebase... cool video and I always wondered how these ops are done. You got a new subscriber :)
I have lived and worked in Oman on and off for 20 years. I work in the Oil and Gas industry. If you ever get a chance to revisit. Do it ! One of my favorite countries I have lived in. Keep up the awesome videos !

That auto-fueling system on the Airbus is amazing.

That’s a pretty cool gig too though 👍🏼
@@CockpitCasual Haha, other than I have to pay for it myself, yes.
So I’m kinda addicted to this channel now! Phenomenal work! All the best chaps
Nice synching and clever edit @ 12:25 !
You fellas are rock'en it. Love the choice of tunes..
Love the content and excellent storytelling. Thanks Steve
Excellent work gents.
I thought my FEMA friends were nomads. haha... not even close. Amazing footage, what a unique life. I could not do it. Thank you for making these.
It's fascinating to fly vicariously through your hard work. Thanks guys.
Good landing at Cairo Captain.
Loved the approach into Cairo, soundtrack was perfect - very atmospheric!
I have so much of that atmospheric stuff from "Symbiosis" recorded by my father, that it's sometimes hard to pick the best one for the scene - but this one REALLY worked! Thanks!!

great couple of videos and narration
Steve, they just get better and better as every episode is aired.
Steve your story telling is amazingly relaxing. Glad I found your channel
Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Some amazing footage guys..... Great channel 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
The track playing at 14:00 is just out of this world 👍
Thanks! It’s a Ralph Towner tune that my dad’s “spacetet” group covered.
@@CockpitCasual These creations are a total work of art. As an old jazzer and avgeek myself it doesn't get any better!
Nothing but awesome! Perfect story telling that’s giving me geography lessons at the same time. Can’t wait for part 3! Well done.
Oh, and you got to love a Tim Tam!
Just tried the raspberry ones - pretty good
My new favorite channel, awesome work bro.
Not to be dramatic, but this is award winning documentary stuff. Blown away. You should think about submitting this to a network or for some Sundance type of thing. Well done and thank you!
Thanks! Will see what happens. Maybe if the channel takes off and one of the videos goes viral, something like this will be possible🤷🏻♂️
Absolutely brilliant series. Hooked.
Great episode as always!
Greeting from Muscat, Oman. Glad you had a short but good time in Oman. If you ever have a chance try traversing Oman from south it's much scenic that way especially if you follow the coast. Also, would be my pleasure to show you guys around Muscat if I ever get a chance to.
Very much looking forward to actually getting to experience Oman some day. Such a scenic and beautiful land!
I have to comment again. This is remarkable footage, wonderful, haven't seen anything quite like it so far on YT.
Must love the Sri Lankan hospitality even for a 45 minutes stay
Yeah Sri Lanka is great!
Loved the episode. Especially the bit from Sri Lanka where I grew up. Hope you enjoyed the tea.
I always enjoy the Ceylon tea! Stuff is top notch!
Very good and unusual video - like it as I followed same route while back in a piston on ferry!
very nice report, again. Love the non-routine of these ferry missions. Some looooonnng duty times/days... Looking forward to the next episode , and new missions. Keep up the good work!
Super long. Especially since Covid. The best part of the job was getting out every few hours and seeing different parts of the world. For now, it’s more mundane and the days are VERY challenging due to restrictions. Things seem to be moving in the right direction now - thank god
Great photography/music.
Fantastic music and flying story. The perfect combination!
Much appreciated!
