Cockpit Casual - Antarctic Sea Ice, Part 2

[@bradcoram509]

The best aviation content on KZbin. Shocked at the low number of subscribers.

[@CockpitCasual]

Just doesn’t hit the KZbin algorithm right to get recommended… I put stuff out too infrequently. These take time to make, which is why they turn out pretty good.. but also why I can only put up a few every 5-6 months. A catch 22!

[@oldmanc2]

It's a secret special club Brad 😂 Loving it and appreciate Steve's efforts

[@jetsetjoeone675]

are there lots of jobs behind the scenes in the airplane repo industry?

[@ulfw]

@@CockpitCasual that's exactly it. Too infrequent. Sadly. I totally get why. You do have a day job after all hehe ;) We love your content though! Please keep going!

[@terryterry1655]

If only chatgpt can crack open the secretive YT algorithm...

[@evan5848]

Embraer be like, "have you tried turning it on and off again?"

[@t789yq34iZKJFHWEIL]

Just replying so the algorithm sees engagement. Absolutely great content as always!

[@CockpitCasual]

Haha I appreciate that… the damn algorithm! 🤨

[@luiscalderon2500]

I fly for latam cargo, just flew that exact same aircraft yesterday it's so nice to see how they do those ferry flights to get the aircraft converted.

[@CockpitCasual]

Got another one to deliver to you in about 2 weeks!

[@henryostman1199]

So entertaining ! This could absolutely be a Netflix series . Thanks for it and keep it coming

[@Jerry_SWMO]

You do a very nice job putting the story together and narrating it in just the right amount. Pleasure to watch.

[@jaime77W]

This is easily the aviation channel with the best growing potential in KZbin. It's got everything: the planes, the stories, the quality, the production. Every video is viewing pleasure filled with adventure. What a lifestyle! Thank you for bringing us along, Steve. Keep it up!

[@thadlm2698]

I’m a retired U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter pilot and I absolutely love this channel. Great content and thanks for sharing🙏🏿!

[@OfficeLinebacker-FJB]

I know your passion is flying, but I truly believe your calling is to be a movie producer/director in Hollywood. Your product is 10x better than the crap currently coming out of Hollywood.

[@qdubbmedia]

as a working filmmaker…i agree

[@jrbuch]

100%, I'm a new sub to this channel, over the last two weeks or so I've been watching all the older videos. No-nonsense content, easy to follow and enjoyable. The small details, the narration, the music.. These guys deserve every new sub they get.

[@D989501L]

Best music aswell 😊

[@MaShcode]

Those Kiwi air stair servos rotate counter clockwise. Swing shift slackers forgot to hit the reset. Another memory item. Wes Montgomery shredding Stella By Starlight? Nice tracks. Ah yes Steve Giordano. So much for my memory items. 😊

[@CockpitCasual]

Love this version of Stella. Couldn’t wait to use it… it was from the last studio session

[@davidberryman9688]

Oh man, the look on Wes' face as the dude on the cell phone was barking out aircraft unserviceabilities was priceless. That was a great two-episode series. Very well done and I am very much looking forward to your next production.

[@CockpitCasual]

Thanks! Yeah - mine was probably worse you just couldn’t see it. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@avrsandeezy5242]

Music was popping in this scene

[@lvrally]

funny, i could not stand the music (or maybe the volume) and fast forwarded the scene. i went back later after reading this comment. lol. I still enjoyed the video but the music + vol there for some reason got on my nerves.

[@Wilossss]

Watched most aviation related videos even before youtube but nothing comes close to this! Keep the series going you have a subscriber for life.

[@CockpitCasual]

Appreciate that!!

[@prunesquallor3444]

So happy to have found your channel Steve. I’m looking forward to watching all the previous videos. Best of everything for the future.

[@npizu]

supremely underrated content!

[@Jacf1n]

These videos make me so happy. No bullshit, just straight facts about doing these trips and what you can encounter.

[@twoeagledrones]

Always the best tunes.❤

[@fartherfasterhigher6157]

That Auckland tower controller sounded American. Great video, as always!

[@CockpitCasual]

I know - was weird right? Caught me off guard. The only time we hear that is in Bahrain usually

[@earlgt2]

These videos are great! Instantly got hooked on the nuances of ferry flying. Definitely motivation to finish my training.

[@martynpearson2766]

Man I love this company, everything is so interesting, great insight into the other side of aviation, these guys work hard, travel the globe, I need some merch, thank you and god bless 🙏

[@JasonD1977]

The best aviation content! Love how you take us into the complexities of this job. So interesting. Great job as usual Steve!

[@sbblmb]

Steve, these are absolutely phenomenal quality. Screw the algorithm, we know where to look. All the best man

[@ColtonFromTexas]

Just six more days until we get part two ladies and gentlemen, we can do this!

[@41SouthNZ]

6 days! Noooooooo 😯 Definitely my favourite YT channel 😁

[@nsm1091]

Nice work guys .. Best part is the background jazz music making the story telling more enchanting 😊

[@ajmplaneshelicoptersrocket3542]

Very high production value. ... With credits and everything.

[@damienwalker1026]

The blue language is just awesome. Proper emotion. Love it

[@CockpitCasual]

Keepin it real!

[@nightfall22]

Another great episode. Man I love this channel!

[@landrover827]

Park Hyatt Auckland is awesome! Hopefully you can get more time in New Zealand soon. 🎉 Thank you as always for these videos. They are absolutely amazing. ❤

[@harpymcmic]

Steve and Co.: you guys rock! Thank you for putting this together. I’m so glad I found this 😊channel: the sound bed is amazing (thanks to Steve Dad). Rock on! Your channel is so awesome!

[@CockpitCasual]

Thank you!

[@2501kano]

Your content is ridiculously on point. I absolutely love watching this channel. Thanks.

[@kierancooke3556]

I totally agree even the house of JAZZ IS SO RELAXING😊

[@jaynichols7932]

Excellent video as always

[@rudybreuker]

Super youtube channel and respect for your work.

[@jonathanscott550]

Nice one Steve I watched part 1 then Part 2 really enjoyed it. Nice to see you employ a Canadian EH! Lucky guy living in Thailand. looking forward to watching another video soon

[@CockpitCasual]

for sure....

[@bubbleobill267]

Woke up on a Saturday morning to this, looks like it’s coffee in bed and some breakfast time viewing. Appreciated!.

[@sharoncassell5273]

I stumbled onto your channel. Excellent presentation. Thanks alot . .usi. Is boss.

[@bertjilk3456]

I really enjoy the insight into an otherwise unknown world. The music adds a sureal touch.

[@mkiv1501]

Favorite aviation KZbin channel for sure

[@petebuck9889]

Great trip , the logistics were insane . Planning that trip and having to deal with the other stuff must have been so stressful. I’m surprised you could use the Singapore military base until I saw the DHL hangar. Brilliant video I thoroughly enjoyed it

[@CockpitCasual]

Thank you. Theres a civilian MRO there that does 767 cargo conversions. It’s a process getting cleared to land there that takes a few weeks….

[@zk9058]

I forget how much square footage there is in these wide bodies……but when you walk into the cabin without the seats, it’s cavernous. These planes are huge! Great video…..just like the others. Always fascinating to see the life thru your lens.

[@Tango-delta89]

I love the music in all your videos super chill and always on in my shop.

[@CockpitCasual]

Awesome!!

[@Arian0027]

This great jazz music makes me think you are airplane smugglers 😂 keep up the good work guys

[@Bud7382]

New to your channel. Brought back memories of flying on the Marine KC-130 into Paya Labar. The same company had a contract to upgrade/update our aircraft. Saw a lot of airliners there getting reworked.

[@charleshoward9644]

Great video. The LAN 767 in its passenger configuration was beautiful, the economy class seats were comfortable especially on long flights between Miami and South America. The first class cabin, whatever is left of it had a beautiful glossy wood trim and spacious seats. I miss flying on LAN. That jazz music,oooooh!

[@-Fearless-]

Quality and soul. Thanks.

[@geezuss1114]

Fantastic content dude 👏👏👏

[@underseavision6771]

By far the best aviation channel on KZbin. Content, editing, music..... excellent. Thank You

[@jimgorman7903]

Best one yet, in my humble opinion. When a SNAFU happened, it was dealt with appropriately.......Hammond B3 and Giordano Snr on Guitar and then ask Bob to deal with it 😅

[@CockpitCasual]

Hahaha

[@tomwhite7816]

Really enjoyed this. Thanks Steve!!

[@bierstick]

I’m just so glad I found it!

[@dennislee529]

The content and music are superb as always - and Steve has such a pleasing and alluring narration voice

[@ralphmadera4366]

I used to be a pilot , and you don’t know how well watching this videos makes me feel, I feel some kind of pray and quietness while watching it that I can’t get in any other place , thanks 🙏. Keep them coming!

[@gavster_999]

This isn't just the best film ever, it's the best thing ever! Love the camera mounted on the 76 throttles ☺ Ps Steve Sr really is the master interpretor of Stella By Starlight 👍

[@CockpitCasual]

Thanks Gavin.

[@AdminLogistics.]

These get better and better. Wish they were two hours long!!

[@CockpitCasual]

Considering doing a longer one at some point and selling downloads for a buck or two 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@spiller83]

have just stumbled upon your channel, how fantastic was it seeing all that sea ice! Also glad you like our city. Cheers, from Auckland NZ. 😊

[@mattcasper2071]

Chur from New Zealand. Superb content as usual 🤙🏽

[@rileyw3660]

The best channel on KZbin by far. Been looking forward to this one for days. Makes the long sit at FBO's go by way faster. Keep up the amazing content.

[@Thunderpig767]

pretty sure ive parked at that exact C10 gate before in a 767, always a gamble waiting for arriving f-16/15's trying to depart out of paya labar, awesome stuff once again, thanks!

[@f16cc482]

As an A&P, the name of your production company. 👍

[@graywalker1272]

Another nice one! Thanks.

[@SteveDonald-o1o]

Great content. Really enjoy it.

[@timlarcombe6831]

Waftchng again, what I really love about Nomadic isthe great footage, but when it comes to flying, it's all business, very proffesional.

[@riverafranciscojose]

Great content, wish you did more. Cheers!

[@fuzzyjax]

I always enjoy and look forward to the next installment of these videos. Top notch story telling and soundtrack.

[@prof.heinous191]

Great story, great film, and the music works well too!! More please...

[@Individual_two]

The music is so cool! Great video!

[@meiryamit]

The music is beautiful ❤

[@CockpitCasual]

Thank you!

[@Dreamweaver787]

This is an awesome channel, the guys narrating the video and the filming is 1st class. It does deserve to have loads of subscribers but hey we are watching and found a great channel. Great work gents👍

[@hamentaschen]

Seriously, THANK YOU for this! Seriously.

[@patmurphy3410]

You're a good storyteller and the music is great

[@jimmyonguitar1]

I really enjoy your channel. I’ve always been a nervous flyer, but your videos actually ease my fear a little. Seeing how much you fly, and your explanations of some of the flight are helpful to me. Thank you. I’d like to see a short video about the walk around you do before flight. I know there’s other videos about it, but would like to hear you explain it. Subscribed!

[@CockpitCasual]

Will keep that in mind for the next ones

[@dwhonan]

I really enjoy the peek behind the curtain that you share in these videos. It's not just flying, and food, and midnight golf... but the insane headaches that come from managing a company with truly global operations.

[@timlarcombe6831]

Thisi is the best Aviation show ever, If your are ever in Perth Western Australia get in touch mate.

[@bongoloony]

Always great music!

[@vaqarkhan8306]

Every episode ups the ante! Gosh this had everything, in it which we have come to expect plus of course the tension and drama thrown in both by the Embraer issues and getting into Paya Lebar. Thank you for the two wonderful episodes.

[@CockpitCasual]

Thanks Vaqar!!!

[@samuelandemicael3561]

Another quality episode. Love the work you put into these. Well done showing the military aircraft on landing. Superb

[@matthewcarter695]

Awesome video yet again! I read your story in Airliner world a few weeks back and kept thinking what a cool job. I was amazed last week when I discovered this channel and that some of the trips you talked about were documented. Keep up the good work and looking forward to the next video!

[@CockpitCasual]

Awesome! Glad you found us!

[@mhibbitt]

Another fantastic series. Thanks for taking us along!

[@davidwilson9988]

Thanks so much for another great video, really enjoyed watching the adventure

[@Snickers4211]

Fantastic. And the music is on point!

[@rajiblaishram3340]

Just wanna appreciate your content Capt. Steve. Being an Avgeek myself and trying to get my CPL here in INDIA, your videos inspires me everyday. What stands out the most, is the way your narrate the story with a good amount of info and offcourse the Jazz background music. JUST AMAZING! Keep up the work. Keep Inspiring! Love from Delhi, India. Would love to meet you guys if you come by again.

[@CockpitCasual]

Much appreciated sir!

[@spencerwalker8314]

tbh they should make this into a full tv series. I'd pay to watch this stuff.

[@MajorLazer182]

Another Masterpiece

[@gmugrumbach]

This really shows how global a job like this can be. Great stuff.

[@exogaming9062]

Awesome content cant wait to see more content

[@howardbaldwin1226]

Another cracking good episode. Ups, downs and all the rest. Thanks so much for sharing. Cheers from AKL.

[@davidmullet1030]

Great video

[@regza40]

Very interesting decision making process. Thank you!

[@johnnydossantos5873]

Excellent video, I’ve done that AKL-SIN leg lots of times. Brings up good memories. Looking forward for the next 👍

[@Sub_Cruce_Candida]

Steve, long time viewer, first time commenter. Love your content as an Aviation Medicine provider! I'm based in Auckland, we'd love to host you and yours, demonstrate to you the best of Kiwi hospitality! Reach out any time.

[@CockpitCasual]

Awesome Nick! Give me a follow on Twitter @JTTsteve so you are aware the next time I’m heading that way and reach out!

[@x0ho0thx]

Amazing story as always! Thx for sharing!

[@pat-w]

Another great episode, and hope you were blessed with only good luck after all those delays. Can we hear a story about the E190 and all those errors? 2 qns: 1. What determines your first speed call-out on takeoff roll? e.g. 80kts before V1 & Vr? What makes some other pilots do call-outs at say 100kts? 2. I saw that plane overtaking(?) you above, an hour out of Auckland - do you have free reign to fly the plane at max. speed if arrival windows/en-route waypoint timing windows permit?

[@CockpitCasual]

1) Boeings inhibit nuisance master cautions above 80KT, Airbus above 100. 2) yeah - no speed limit unless in one of the track systems. Even then, you can file for whatever, but that doesn’t mean you’ll get it. There’s a sweet spot though. Going fast burns a LOT more gas…

[@pat-w]

@@CockpitCasual cheers!

[@sharoncassell5273]

Keep tailwinds pushing you.

[@briandubois9572]

Missed the live launch yesterday as I was on my 16 hr workshift. Another great video. I can't believe the stuff you went through on this one. Glad everything eventually worked out for you on the LATAM & eventually for Wes on the Embreaer. Waiting on the next trip report 👍👍😊😊

[@TobyMcVinn]

Saw a LATAM 767 in Paya Lebar a few months ago. Maybe it was you guys! And yeah, we deal with the same kind of nonsense getting into that airport as you guys.

[@ScrotusXL]

Revisiting these very special Speedtape golden gems! You had plenty of space to stretch those legs and ease the bum ache. How on earth do B 52 and B 2 crews physically and mentally endure 24- 36 hour missions and crew space smaller than mini van? 😮

[@synonyx]

Very cool to see this side of aviation. I don't think I'd ever want to do mainline as a pilot(reason I never went past PPL yet), but this looks like it could be some fun because every day seems to be different.

[@planespeaking]

Embraer seem to have a lot of air con break downs and weird temperature issue, faulty bearings causing smoke smell and therefore emergency landings. Ask me how I know... Saying that they are a comfortable aircraft with nice seat and decent leg room, and a quiet cabin.

[@khoanguyenavia]

To be honest, aside from all the inside look, I'm also here for the jazz 😅

[@brandonmmmmmmmm3293]

Wonderful tape I love your vids!!

[@paulmooney1052]

Cool stuff and presentation , pleasure to watch.
