- The first quarter of 2022 was a really busy time for the team at Nomadic. Normally, this is a slow period for airplane ferries, but not this year; an 11-ship Lionair return and some other long-hauls kept the gang busy. During this time, CC-CXE and CC-CXD were ready for pickup as newly converted freighters and Steve, Bob, and Ava had the honors of operating these flights.
Part Two features a look at these returns and focuses primarily on the delivery of CC-CXE, where special guest Jon Ostrower from The Air Current joins Steve and Bob as a stowaway from Singapore to Miami with a fuel stop in Honolulu. Ostrower is a renowned Aviation Journalist and joined up with Nomadic to experience one of our weekly adventures first hand. The Air Current will soon publish a feature where Jon tells the story from an outsider's expert perspective - and Part 2 & 3 of "The Cargo Conversion" documents the adventure through video.
As always, the series features original Jazz written and performed by Steve Giordano Sr.; along with Dave Posmontier and Bob Shomo from the Germantown Session - a studio session where Organ Trio Jazz was laid down for the sole purpose of Cockpit Casual! "The Germantown Session" is also available on iTunes, RUclips, Apple Music, Spotify, and Amazon.
To Steve and Bob, the best channel I have found on RUclips in all the years I've been on it, great music and I think I have flown with you every flight you have done over 7 times each. Great luxury sitting in my armchair flying round the world with great people, good humour and great music. What could be better. Regards from over the pond. Richard 🇬🇧
The realization that the music was provided by your father was something that surprised me. Just made me more willing to do one of these trips with you guys.
Using a plane axe to destroy shoring on cargo....a true ramper move.
This is easily my favorite RUclips channel out there right now and I hope you guys keep busting out content, truly interesting.
The fact this RUclips channel is so underrated is astounding. You guys provide excellent entertainment with your storytelling and beautiful footage that has me hooked throughout the entire video, hell, the entire series. I think I’m currently on binge #2 watching through all the videos on this channel, and it never gets old. Keep up the great work guys! I heard there might be some filming on the recent/future Air India 747-400 ferries. I’m ecstatic to see whatever comes out of that wether it’s just a short video or if it’s a longer one like this any many others. Godspeed you guys. Blue skies and tailwinds my friend. ❤
Improvise adapt overcome, that the US Marine coming out with the crash axe. Love this series.
Wow, just wow! I don't know where you find the time to put all this together so kudos to you for your hard work and efforts. It is mind boggling to see how you went from lazy haying on the beach to on a flight deck without skipping a beat. Thanks for taking us along for the ride and I am very much looking forward to your next segment.
Steve this channel and your work in narrating, editing and flying are all equally underrated. Thank you for sharing it with us. As a soon to be fresh commercial pilot I hope I can work with people like you.
Hope to see you out there sometime!
Just came across your channel yesterday and I’ve been binge watching all your videos. Absolutely fantastic production with great music and amazing editing. Thanks for putting so much effort into this entertainment.
…one super video after another! SUPERFANTASTICWONDERFUL CONGRATULATIONS!
Great vlog, can only imagine the stories Bob can tell, must make the hours go by quicker laughing all the time. Looking forward to part 3
We have lots of stories!
Nothing like a bit of brute force when all else fails😂. Love your technique with the ax👍🇿🇦
Works good for oil cans too!
Great stuff, as always. Love spending Sunday morning with a fresh cup of coffee and Cockpit Casual! Way back in high school, deciding between an aviation job and a computer job, I realized the airlines didn’t appeal to me - now THIS line of work would have been right up my alley. Instead - day job pays the bills, and I flight instruct on weekends. Not too bad, but I’m still always looking up when the big ones fly over.
I feel this, 4 years in the airlines and I'm already over it. This type of work I could really do, however it doesn't really exist at this level in Australia.
👍✅ Another interesting story, tks
Great Vlog, as always! Keep going!
Great video as expected. Thank you as always for sharing the adventure with us !
Great video as always!
Always enjoy your videos!! Thanks for letting us ride and ride and ride along!!
Hey Steve,
I am in awe of the incredible amount of talent and dedication you have. I love watching your videos. I’m a commercial pilot with over 15 years experience but I still get a new thrill every time I watch one of your videos. Your narration, story telling and cinematography skills are second to none. The soothing music is just the perfect cherry on top. Love your work. Looking forward to part 3 and many more. Hope to hear you in the skies sometime. I’ll be on the lookout for the Nomadic callsign :)
Safe skies always.
Regards,
Leonard.
Cheers Leonard I appreciate that!
good stuff steve ! love seeing the converted airlines and the infamous Jon ! amazing video, can’t wait for part 3.
Hey Steve, more golfing with Ava please!
I know right? I fully agree. He needs to quit his airline job and do this all the time!
absolutely amazing content!
ALWAYS A GREAT PLEASURE TO WATCH YOUR VLOGS!
That is proper, well done!!
Another amazing episode!!!!!
Love the RM Williams hat - fan from down under :)
Love the Jamaica soundtrack at 8:41 into this video
Another superb episode Steve....keep them coming
Awesome video and awesome job! Very cool that you get to fly different types of airliners!
My favorite part of the weekend for sure!
Awesome video, thank you!
Thank you for sharing this cool gathering and take off in the nice 767. The finish paint jog was nice!!!
Great stuff Steve, your 767BCF series are indeed addictive. Keep them coming and happy landings 😍
Another great video, keep up the great work guys 👍, love the RM Williams hat, cobber 🇦🇺
great stuff!
So good to see you Bob... your business is booming! Glad I was able to fly a few trips with you back in the early days.
Always a true pleasure following along on your well narrated and filmed adventures, not forgetting about the very well matching soundtracks of course!
Thanks for sharing,
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for sharing your company, life, and co-workers with us. I can’t imagine how crazy things can be running a company, flying, and producing videos.
Don’t over task yourself but please keep it going as it fits in. Your production is unique on so many levels including style. Love it.
Excellent video you guys.
Great video as always Steve. Couldn't miss all the container ships as you were climbing out and seeing them as the credits were rolling.
We call those ballast pallets "pet rocks" at my place at work...great video! I miss WSSS...
My only regret is that there isn't another 30 minute video immediately available to watch. 😂
Another great look at what you do flying all over the world.
You guys are great. Thanks for the videos!
I hated jazz or whatever this terrible music is, but now I absolutely love it! Your videos are so soothing - I never skip ahead and rewatch almost all of them. My favorite aviation content.
Glad to have expanded your musical horizons!
Nice one guys nice to see Mr O having fun too
Another great one, Steve! I'm loving the music too.
You guys are awesome, love these videos. As a pilot this would be my dream job in aviation, maybe one day.
Well done again, I’ve said it before…you tell a great story Steve 👏
767 Freight Dog checking in...I approve of these videos. Great story telling. Love all the videos.
Since i started watching ”i dont know what day it is” is the mist common frase 😂😍
I’m hooked !
This is my first time viewing Cockpit Casual. Great video. I like the format. Thank you for the great videos.
Great RM Williams hat.....
Great Father’s Day gift right here.
Thank you for sharing
Another incredible film. Music is dope!!
cool video guys, thank you for sharing,cool vibes
Great to see your RM Williams cap Steve
Good to see my home base being featured. I do remember spotting those 767s on the ramp, didn’t realize Steve’d be driving them back.
Nice! Bob is unflappable.
Best Aviation YT channel hands down!
Grazzi Luigi
Very cool. Subscribed.
As always great video love seeing the different places, planes. I enjoy the explanations of the process and concept as well. Keep them coming you have got to have one of the most unique jobs in aviation.
Thanks Chris
These are so unbelievably satisfying, thanks Steve for putting these together.
My pleasure!
The background music with the narration is sweet. 👍
Thanks John! Appreciate that
I love all of your videos. I love to get my hands on alittle wind breaker with.your logo on it.
that earthing strap the refueller set up looks really useful
This channel deserves so much more fame ! I've only just this and I'm hooked already! Great content !
Didn‘t know John Cena was a ferry pilot aswell. Nice vid, thank you!
I love you and I love this vlog.
I have been waiting for this one. I have been following Jon for years starting with his 787 blog site many years ago.
Jon is awesome 👍🏼👍🏼
Love that business is booming for Nomadic!!
Yeah! We’re doing like 7-8 trips a week lately!
amazing trip report!!! love coming along with you guys. Curious, how do you guys deal with the Jet lag? Seems like you guys are go, go, go without anytime to re-charge. Your channel has rapidly become my favorite. Thank you for the great content. Continued safe skies for you!
Yes another video !! 👋🔥🔥🤩🤩
Another fantastic episode Steve and co. Between the recount of your packed 2021, you forgot to mention where you found time to edit these vlogs and start the RUclips channel!
Loving all the insight into the industry, the cinematography and for showing us what's possible - thank you as always.
I do this for fun! It’s therapeutic
@@CockpitCasual It’s therapeutic to watch, too, especially with the excellent chilled jazz
Having flown many International miles, I know that there's nothing easy about anything these pros do. They just make it look easy and fun. There are scenes and experiences where I say to myself "Been there, done that!"
truly a dream career
omg! yay. this guy is a great story teller. two videos about planes! lol. we are all geeks
4 more! Every week in June!
@@CockpitCasual Can't wait
@@CockpitCasual ♫ ♭♪ ♩♬ yesssss! lol
A friend of mine knew I flew for Latam and said to me, hey dude check this channel and surprisingly I flew those beauties, I envy you bro. Great content , kudos!
One can read @jonostrower's excitement in the jumpseat!
He was definitely stoked
Steve, your dad's music is just the only thing that keeps me here LOL
Thanks?
@@CockpitCasual when is the tape coming out?
Bob, sure miss our breakfasts at CHD with you and Captain Al
Wow man you came to Jamaica 🇯🇲 I’m a local I really love the channel the contents are great! Very nice and entertaining!
Thanks! love Jamaica!
Did my training in CXE!!! ZK-CXE - a C 150 in early 1970s 😜
awesome music, hello from new york city
please upload new videos
76BCF looks slick.
Please when is the next episode??Love this channel.
Sorry I was having a chuckle on Bob expense each time you said his name. Bob from the move Top Gun Maverik. Bar scene. 😄
One of these days I need to see that 😂
Just subscribed. Love this channel. I’ve been in aviation for 30 years working Ramp and now I’m a customer service agent and I also have a private pilot license. I find your narration is spot on and keeps me focused on the mission the music is like elevator music which is kinda strange but music in the background keeps it moving. Keep up the great vlogs.
It’s Jazz - it’s performed by my father and other lifelong Philly jazz legends. It may not be your cup of tea but it’s certainly not elevator music. It’s original improvisation by skilled musicians and it’s way better than the generic crap from soundstripe. I can’t use mainstream artist music even if I wanted to because of copy-write laws anyway.
Thanks for the praise though - it’s appreciated 👍🏼
@@CockpitCasual sorry if I offended you as I will give it a listen as I did not know it was music from your dad and all those cool musicians as I always appreciate original music. My dad played the accordion and played live in Toronto and went by Toronto’s Dean Martin and my cousin is Lou Pomanti and has a cool album called welcome to the Boogaloo Lounge.
I remember seeing this aircraft on FR24, OMD123. I swear I saw it at the stands.
Didn't know Nomadic came from Jet test Intl (JTN)? Nice report again. Impressive : long haul as pax , jumping of the plane, and climbing into the pilot seats of the plane you have to deliver .
Yes - Bob & I were 2/3 owners of JTN and all personnel (minus one) from JTN are now OMD. Rebrand/restructure
@@CockpitCasual thank you Steve. In fact I was today in contact with your company. Looking forward to other reports. Regards from OST/EBOS airport, Wim
Bob legend
5:10 that's pretty common on the 747F at SEA the fix it ax that sits at the front.
Any more videos I'm waiting to travel with you guys 😊
Hi Steve! I watched 2-GOTG a Prime Air 737-800 BDSF for ASL Airlines being delivered yesterday at EMA after a long haul from China via Cairo, wondered if it was you! Figured not as there was no jet test or nomadic callsign though :(
@@AnarchyEnsues OMD###
I don’t think we did that one
“In case load does not fit, apply share axe until it does”
Mark my words, you will be at 50k subs by July 4th
I’m holding you to it!
Great video as usual. I’m curious….during your walk around of CC-CXE in Singapore, it looked like there was jumper cable lead attached from the left rear landing gear to the concrete. What’s that about?
That’s a ground wire to keep the aircraft statically grounded.
You flew those Batik 320’s into KMLB?!?! I saw you guys coming in if so! Small world!
Yep we flew them all in. We’re also flying them out to Colombia
@@CockpitCasual nice! Yeah I saw they were going to Avianca I believe. I’ll make sure to keep an eye out for you guys.
