Cockpit Casual - The Russian Repos

[@dmacd9058]

Love these films. They do not come out very often but when they do it is like finding a diamond among all the muck and debris that is KZbin. The music, narration, and photography are top notch.

[@CockpitCasual]

Thank you! I wish I could go faster but I’m a one-man, zero budget show! Lol

[@CockpitCasual]

I’d do it in a second!

[@justsomeguy1141]

This was super cool never would I have thought a jazz score with a 1920s noir detective style narration over an aviation delivery story would be so perfectly matched and entertaining

[@CockpitCasual]

I Appreciate it!!

[@MegaBISP]

I truly feel this is the best aviation channel on KZbin. It’s part Aviation part travel vlog edited and presented beautifully. Thank you for the content.

[@CockpitCasual]

Spread the word! 😂 thanks!!

[@vaughanjones6839]

I definitely agree

[@EricBishard]

Don't feel it, know it

[@nehamaty]

Best Aviation channel on YT. Jazz - airplanes - what else you need. Hours of hard work to make those videos Thank you all. Greetings from LTAI.

[@CockpitCasual]

Thank you! LTAI - an awesome place

[@13699111]

Oh yes jazz flows beautifully throughout the video

[@доктор-вонючая-морковь]

How cool is the music in this video 😮, Steve and Bob , absolutely incredible to watch while they work . Best Channel 🙌 down ever . 👍

[@higherresolution3511]

Stuck at home bored & riddled with Covid and this notification pops up. Blue skies my friends and thank you for everything you do 😊Made my week already!

[@CockpitCasual]

Get well soon!!

[@DJ99777]

Get better! Hope you’re quadruple boosted!

[@davidberryman9688]

Today I have better knowledge about aircraft leasing thanks to this video. That was very informative and pleasant to watch. Thanks for all your efforts in the production of this segment. Looking forward to the next one. I just hope it doesn't take as long to drop it as this one did.

[@belarussamsun9962]

That was great with the dog jumped on next to you and layed down. I started cracking up.

[@RichardBendix]

Thanks for your detailed explanation of how aircraft leasing works. I appreciate you adding the business perspective to your programs. Amazing that I had never heard anything about the Russian massive default of aircraft leases caused by the Ukraine sanctions.

[@kennethmc2601]

I'm a C40 guy. We were at a local airfield working on the jet, they parked us way in the back next to some 777s. Being a bunch of 737 guys, we all wanted to check out the monster parked next to us. Nordwind. It was a Russian leased jet that had been there since February. It was looking rough, engine covers were torn to shreds.

[@wrphelan]

Simply amazing!! Quality of story, video and music are incredible

[@CockpitCasual]

Thanks!

[@Rod.Machado]

Im so glad i came across this channel a couple of days back.... this is some god tier content and the music choice.... splendid!

[@ScrotusXL]

I wondered where you guys had gone, but realise your videos were just part time bits and bobs, testing the water in between your intense work load. And here you are again, delivering another cinematic masterpiece!

[@CockpitCasual]

Thanks for understanding! I’m trying to make more as fast as I can but is sure a time killer!

[@DJ99777]

Your videos are the only videos on KZbin that I drop everything to watch and that command my full attention.

[@CockpitCasual]

Appreciate that!!

[@arthurpearson3407]

It has shown a part of aviation I didn’t realize existed. Don’t know if it existed back in the 70s, but it’s something I would have considered. Of course, the equipment is far more advanced than it was then, making it more reliable. These are very entertaining. Keep them coming😉

[@PlaneGeek007]

my favorite youtube channel. Videos are thoughtfully compiled and edited. thank you for the hard work you put in. Definitely a labor of love and I appreciate the work. Thank you

[@CockpitCasual]

Thanks for noticing!!!

[@davidcole333]

That was incredible to watch. Thank you so much for the time and energy spent on putting this together.

[@JohnOCFII]

Thanks for another excellent installment of Cockpit Casual! Such a crazy thing that in these times, paperwork and permission is a wild card in your efforts.

[@CockpitCasual]

Always!

[@BoulevardRecording]

Best flying channel on KZbin in my opinion !

[@matze3925]

This is elite content right here, something I'd be willing to pay to watch. Huge thumbs up to you sir!

[@CockpitCasual]

Thank you!

[@jdaniel3068]

Not nearly enough content covering this huge, aviation-changing event. AMAZING. A+

[@joeburke5604]

Between KZbin and Twitter, I love following you. Keep up the great work! 👍

[@jeffreysicular5119]

Excellent presentation! Brought back great memories for me. I did my fair share of ferry flights 73s, 72s, 744s 75s and 76s from the mid 90s through the early 2000s. Did some sporadic ferry flights when living in Europe and Asia. Keep em flying boys.

[@jimgorman7903]

Another Giordano Masterpiece! Excellent! :-)

[@darrellgordon7456]

Great job Steve, seems that RB211 767 has landed with the most recent variation of Eastern

[@tangodeltawhiskey6825]

Awesome Steve! Loved the explanations about the wonderful world of aircraft leasing. How you guys stay awake thru these long hours, I don't know. Blue skies, sir!

[@mrbakarkhani]

My favourite aviation channel. Please do not stop making such incredible content.

[@ezyroller]

Love your content! When I found your channel I binge-watched everything immediately. Been a while for a new one to show up but I'll gladly wait when the production values are so high. You have a fascinating job.

[@BeCoShooter]

Tremendously informative and entertaining. Thank you for taking the time to create this story.

[@davewestner]

I guess I'm binge watching these this evening. Such interesting stories and music (great playing too) and dig getting a glimpse into the ferry world for the big guys.

[@MajorLazer182]

I love this film, find it fascinating with the ACTUAL repo (not the one we all had seen on discovery channel), yall are a fantastic team and its really enjoyable when a video comes out P.S.: LOVE the choice of music

[@CockpitCasual]

Thanks!!!

[@blagh1]

Thank you for the new ep! Really enjoyed it especially the trippy shaky lights on that night takeoff. Also thx for the OMD stickers and shirt!

[@dirks1982]

That was awesome! Although a little different than usual. Liked the explanatory part and the insights from it. Keep em coming and thank you for taking a stand on the aggression in Ukraine 👍🏻

[@vaqarkhan8306]

Managed to watch this a full 24 hours after dropping. Top notch as ever. I remember very well not only following both the flights but the discussion on Twitter about the situation regarding leased aircraft following the Russian invasion as well as why these aircraft were on Bermudan register.

[@The_Jeffski]

Great to see another video Steve. Always enjoy these and feels like we have been there with you!

[@julesviolin]

What a great job you have !! Decent music too which is an absolute breath of fresh air 🎶🎶🎶

[@CockpitCasual]

Thank you!

[@prakashnarismulu3332]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@marka6907]

Love the video, commentary, and the jazz! The music is an excellent choice and works nicely. I learned a lot from watching the video. Thank you.

[@daytonaeagle]

Fantastic job as always Steve.. Thanks for sharing your journey with fellow AvGeeks such as myself.. Cheers!

[@shauntrammell8829]

These videos are badass! Thank you for making them. I am about to get my commercial license and start ferrying aircraft myself. However on a much more novice level! But these are very fun to watch while I’m getting ready for that. With the work life that’s displayed in the videos, I’m not sure how you have time to do anything else. But please make more!!

[@romeomike3945]

Found this really Interesting Steve! Thanks for the time you’ve put in to making this😊 Looking forward to the next one.

[@weok-doing-things]

It is a very big surprise to know that one of the best youtube channel authors is indeed a frequent visitor of this country where I and some guys from. The music, narrative and story - as always - top level. Thanks!

[@WRTS4G]

Amazing video! Love watching these and seeing the beautiful countries you get to travel to. Keep em' coming!

[@rajarshihore]

Thank you for sharing this content Steve, as a newbie Avgeek it's fascinating to see the complexities you guys have to manage operationally. It was also interesting to see the Indigo aircraft at Keflavik (not a normal destination for them, guessing it was a ferry flight as well)

[@blogtwot]

Best series on KZbin by a mile, or a thousand miles or further.

[@dovids2447]

I just discovered this channel and wow i just cant stop watching, thank you for taking the time to create these films!

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Steve, I just discovered your channel. What a gem, so glad I found it. How perfect and it’s incredible how it shows parts of aviation that almost none of us will ever experience. Very well done and looking forward to watch all video’s!

[@louwade2654]

Excellent video as usual, and we get to listen to some great Jazz! Glad to see you guys flying.

[@Danisandiego]

More great storytelling. I really enjoyed this one. Thanks so much for the quality content!

am hooked to this channel . informative ..REAL ...and makes my sob over my dream of becoming a pilot . kudos team .

[@willmix5044]

Just yesterday I was wondering when the next video would drop. And today here we go! THANKS FOR POSTING!!!!!!

[@ErmakDimon]

Thank you for yet another great video. All of the events that have been unfolding in my country since February have been very unfortunate, but I'm glad that you gave a very truthful, balanced and unbiased analysis of the situation. Hopefully everything ends soon and life for both Ukraine and Russia could return to normal.

[@petearmstrong2778]

Another great episode. You've set the bar high for your episodes. One can only imagine how the insurance/leasing will change to prevent losses like those experienced in Russia.

[@darnocua]

Another terrific video…this one with a tone smart overlay of relevant geopolitics. Thx for sharing!

[@rocketmantakeoff]

Another great video, fascinating. When u hang up your wings you have a career in film production. Its done so professionally. I look forward to the next installment.

Just made my Sunday night after a week off from work a little more bearable. Damn nice work on these. Thanks

[@ThumperKJFK]

2 day's to watch every video. What a ride you guy's took us on. Almost no words can explain your story's, your Dads music, the views both in air, and on the ground, city, food, golf. What a rush you gave your viewers. Much Blessings for your company in the years to follow. I am sure it will come full circle from all those aircraft sitting idle, and yeh I shed a tear for them. That should not have happen, We all will get through this, I am sure. We always do. Again Peace Brother, and a big Thank you to everyone who made all this possible. ✌👍 Semper Fi

[@CockpitCasual]

Cheers Gregory…. Semper Fi 🫡

[@walterthorne4819]

Classy, educational, entertaining …very well done…really love the Jazz…safe flying Docord!

My favourite aviation series on KZbin ❤ Keep up the brilliant content! 😃

[@tb7452]

This is truly my favorite aviation content. I was so stoked when I found out another video was out. I Waited till finished my trip to watch it at home. This is perfect to play on the big screen with a proper sound system. The shots, narration and jazz music just has me zoned in the whole time. I really appreciate all the hard work you put into these videos. Can’t wait for the next one.

[@CockpitCasual]

Thank you!!

[@ej2758]

Steve, thank you to you and your team for another great video! I REALLY look forward to these. The way you tell stories and combine it with great footage from both inside and outside the airplane-not to mention the super cool soundtrack-just always a treat to watch.

[@brettknowles3582]

Another cracking video Steve, very intersting back story , along with great vlog of the journey. Nicely done !!

An awesome look into what you guys do out there. Thank you for sharing.

[@coreygraham6136]

Great job Steve. Appreciate you bringing your “work life” which actually seems like ‘fun life’ ( although we know it always isn’t) to your audience. Also like your comments . Your right on.

[@CockpitCasual]

Hey when work is fun - it’s the best scenario. I still love it. Left the airlines when that stopped being fun to be honest!

[@davefrommelbourne1237]

A real tour of duty. Enjoyed this one 👍

[@WiMo2017]

another mission accomplished. Lovely video with the insight, background info, and of course, last but not least, the nice views. Thanks for sharing them. Nice item, about the detour in Europe, to avoid the risk of too many individual overflight permits pending.

[@fredfred2363]

I was just offered this vid by the algorithm... What a damned good channel. OMG! Subscribed. You blend good factual content without the silly emotive stuff that other channel throw in. And add concise narration, providing a clear story line of what's going on. You should have a lot more subscribers than you do. This channel will grow.

[@CockpitCasual]

Thanks Fred!! Really appreciate that!

[@AlexRossiharmonica]

Amazing music

[@mazinsafar]

Steve, I wish to thank you and all your fellow pilots for taking us with you in these incredible adventures. This is exactly the unique and true content that YT was built for and lacked in recent years. All my respect and admiration to you and your colleagues from a Saudi Arabian super fan.

[@CockpitCasual]

Cheers Mazin… I really appreciate the kind words! A lot of effort goes into making them so it’s really nice to hear that the content is well received.

Great to see another one of your great videos. Antalya is stunning, can't wait to go there again👍🇿🇦

[@aussieiain]

Steve..another Fabulous vid. As well as a great pilot..your also a superb film maker. Coupled with ur dad's great music, I drop everything to watch these productions. Can't wait for the next one. Safe travels.

I do not know how or why, but this video came across my recommended videos to watch. Just when I think my apple cart is full of perfect channels, that I watch consistently, Here comes another video out of the blue. Definitely some major professional content here! I will definitely be catching up on some of your older videos and continue to watch your new stuff. As a pilot and an A&P mechanic, I definitely have found another channel to call home. Bravo, Sir!!!!

[@CockpitCasual]

Really appreciate that Brad!

[@DaveLakers]

The best aviation content on KZbin, thanks. I just wish there was more of it 😀

[@CockpitCasual]

Appreciate that! Me too - I thought as I got more experienced, I’d get faster at it but quite the opposite: I’ve learned how to use more features of premiere pro, AND I’ve gotten way more picky about the content - so I’m actually slower now!! 😒

[@jaysonsayler3]

10/10 video as always Steve! I always get excited when a new episode comes out

[@CockpitCasual]

Get excited! 4 more in work right now!

[@Agnikai20]

Your life is very interesting and literally watched 4 episodes in one night! keep going, aviation is incredible! interested do you like Boeing or airbus more and what is your favorite aircraft?

[@CockpitCasual]

Thanks! I prefer Airbus narrow-bodies and Boeing heavies… from a flying perspective the B-777 is probably my favorite. I just got typed on the 787 and haven’t flown the real thing yet - but the sim was quite nice to fly!

[@MrJDR10]

Love the content! Definitely shows another side of aviation. Looking forward to the next adventure!

[@WiredForFlight]

Seeing your videos pop up in my time line always means it will be a good day.

[@newjerseywales]

Worth the wait and really enjoyed this. Please take our collective praise for your work as sincere. I suspect a lot of us are watching multiple aviation channels on youtube and yours does stand out :-D - I think the fact you're speaking from an actual point of expertise is the clincher.

[@rdembow]

Excellent commentary ,abundant complexities exiting countries. A great vid, like the previous.

[@andrewriedel4446]

Great video as always and thank you for sharing some insight. I worked half a dozen ferry flights through eastern Russia in 2021. The Russian people deserve so much better.
