Cockpit Casual - Zagreb

[@vulfieamadeus8306]

Everyone's a Roger Ebert. Self-produced, self-written, self-filmed, self-edited, self-SCORED deserves not just self-recognition. I looked forward to and now thoroughly enjoyed the show. Can't wait for the next installment. Congratulations and job super well done!

[@CockpitCasual]

Very kind. Thank you🙏

[@benjaminsaenz4516]

Tell Bob thank you for taking us through the tunnels!!

[@CaptainProspect007]

Extremely underrated channel!

[@CockpitCasual]

We’re getting there. It takes time I think… thanks for watching!

[@premjitc]

Steve and Bob are super amazing folks. I love the way the videos are put together…

[@evan5848]

A fascinating look at a side of aviation I've never seen. I could've have watched this for hours.

[@TryMyChow]

Fantastic guys. The music is great too

[@jimflys2]

So, I have been binge watching your videos for the last 2 days. as a pilot and professional musician and Jazz player, I'm really impressed with everything I see and hear. tell your drummer doing these soundtracks that he's got amazingly great sounding cymbals. Everyone plays incredibly, and I know many of these tunes. THE BEST!

[@elexbeats]

Whenever I watch you videos on the cockpit, with the jazz going on and your story telling, it gives me the vibe of watching the Whiplash movie. Everything you do is so artistic, never seen a channel like you that combines art and aviation at the same time

[@CockpitCasual]

Thank you! I’m glad you’re viewing it the way I am intending. Tryin’ to do something different, and keep getting better at it each new vid

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Thank you for sharing this video of cool aircaft..

[@LMays-cu2hp]

You guys made me laugh with the coffee that was needed on that fuel stop!!!!! I totally understand coffee is needed!!!! First and for most!!!

[@LMays-cu2hp]

This was a very nice trip for the both of you. That was cool with the CEO who is a pilot himself to take you two out to dinner. I am in agreement with you guys about the beer!!! It was truly needed!!! Steve the hotel room view was nice. And with you getting back home on those two flights that was nice. Bob on the other hand starting there for a couple of days looked really nice!!!! Again, think you for sharing your trip here from last summer.

[@nolunchiseverfree]

Really great travelogue! Second the comment about slightly reducing the music volume during dialogue. Also, would love to have some ATC dialogue mixed in. Always interesting to hear those exchanges, and they add some ambiance.

[@Getawaymoments]

I think using ATC audio would be a legal pot hole. Best to steer clear.

[@jzguru1]

I beg your pardon! :)

[@Getawaymoments]

@@jzguru1 Sorry for the caution. Years ago I had a broadcast corporate attorney advise not to use government transmissions unless specific news related case. Police and fire. I assume FAA could be problematic but after a quick search I see many examples on KZbin. Of course that does not make it legal. This would be commercial use case. In hindsight the advise may have been based on State law and two party consent.

[@CockpitCasual]

The man himself! ⬆️ hey dad 😎

[@h263456]

@@Getawaymoments In some countries it is illegal to re-broadcast ATC transmissions, for example in the UK.

[@thekoreantraveler]

Everything I love about life--airplanes, jazz and travel--all in one channel

[@CockpitCasual]

The trifecta

[@thekoreantraveler]

@@CockpitCasual Yes, and as I watched more videos, golf! Sometimes I end up playing with crews from all over around the LA courses

[@fulano86]

The music is so soothing and accompanies the videography so perfectly. One of the most enjoyable aviation videos I’ve seen in a while due to its uniqueness. Thanks for sharing these videos with the world.

[@ClearedAsFiled]

Simply stunning video...10 yrs from now, it will STILL be stunning 😊

[@crashcomedy1]

Probably one of the greatest channels on youtube, always been an avid avgeek, always wanted to be a pilot. Today was the day I decided to pursue the career. Ill check in with you when im there. Thanks for the motivation and endless great content.

[@CockpitCasual]

That’s awesome - best of luck 💪

[@nv7593]

I’ve only found this channel today and I’m already obsessed. Top to bottom it’s so well done. Fantastic aviation channel. And I watch them all. Keep it up.

[@greyjay9202]

Imagine being type rated on God knows how many aircraft, and flying them around the world for a living. What a peach of a job. These videos are wonderfully produced, and with great sound tracks and narration.

[@Sequesterer]

Such a great movie. Keep up the stuff! Now i Too wants to visit croatia, and zagreeeb 😁

[@CockpitCasual]

Just don’t get lost in the tunnels!

[@TheTomyossarian]

The Anthony Bourdain of the skies. 😎 Always love these videos.

[@eazydazit]

Totally Bourdain Vibe narration. I love this

[@ColtonFromTexas]

I’ve had a strong love and passion for aircraft and flying from an early age and I must say, I’m thoroughly enjoying this channel after having stumbled upon it just about a week ago. Appreciate the content!

[@SurfCityVideo]

Sitting here on a cold Idaho morning, enjoying my coffee, the video and some really smooth jazz.

[@Horizon301.]

Great! I would love to see more of the raw footage though like looking around the aircraft you are flying, opening it and giving a tour rather than skipping to various points. More vlog style I would say.

[@LouT1501]

I have enjoyed watching all of your videos since finding your channel. Thank you for answering many of my unasked questions. That A319 looks like it has really uncomfortably close seating, especially for the 6'5" person that I am. Thank you!

[@markkortvely1731]

This is professional grade stuff! Steve, you put your whole ferry trip in perspective and the music selection totally compliments as well. Thanks for allowing us to share in your professional world.BTW, I thought Bob was going to get lost in that tunnel at the end. Cheers!

[@csandera]

After the long wait and expectations for this first video, I was expecting some greatness. You did not fail to deliver. This was epic. The editing, the music, the narration, the music, the storyline, and the music! THANK YOU! 👏👏👏

[@pnguyen8722]

Watched every cockpit casual episode at least twice now. Excited for a new one.

[@calpal9983]

Your narration is awesome. Love these!

[@johntrussell7808]

The sunrise some would make me want to become a pilot even more

[@Jcrescent1]

As a pilot, the content fills the heart. However Steve, your music feeds my soul. Especially that last song, Fantasia. I'm definitely putting Timeline on my buy list.

[@DavidGwynnJones]

Aw gee the footage of "Zageeb" got me all choked up, reminding me of my amazing time there and in the rest of that great country 😂

[@jameshuggins7320]

I’m addicted to these videos

[@CockpitCasual]

Love it

[@gkkes]

My missus and I enjoyed a cruise from Split down to Dubrovnik and back a few years ago. Can't say enough about the place. The people, hospitality, price, scenery all top drawer.

[@CockpitCasual]

Totally agree

[@PilotWanderlust]

WOW, really enjoyed watching! 👌 Thank you so much and make sure to come back with your wife to visit the coast. You'll love it even more! 🇭🇷 Best regards from EDDF 🤗

[@sb6236]

It was definitely worth the wait, such a privilege to see what so few get to see. Superbly produced too 👍🏻

[@race263]

Thanks for taking us along very cool. I’ve been a aircraft mechanic my whole adult life. I love this stuff. Thanks again!!!! Fly safe

[@fakefais]

0:44 Holly crap!! I just saw the 747 with the Max Air livery that is now fully active here in Nigeria. My parents flew to Saudi Arabia for Pilgrimage in one of them. Woah

[@DaveTX767]

Bob and Steve, That looked like an unusually smooth ferry. Wish they were all that easy. I loved the tourist info that Bob added at the end. Dave Daniels

[@CockpitCasual]

Hahaha hey there Dave!

[@stephengansky2694]

This is by far the best stuff I’ve seen in a long time!

[@1mr3qruc2]

Fond memories, esp. the NAT crossing and KEF. Brought many good memories back from my WOW days. Keep the blue side up, guys! Cheers from Tokyo.

[@EighteenRoll]

The Kinshasa cameo was unexpected but very much welcomed! I miss home a lot, lol really smart move stuffing your cash and passport. My dad and uncles taught me that move as a kid

[@CFHuss]

I'm hooked!

[@CockpitCasual]

Love it

[@juliansecomb3703]

I grew up in Tucson and always looked at the tails at Pinal Airpark from the 10. You could definitely see more planes there when the industry was down post 9/11 and during Covid.

[@CockpitCasual]

For sure - they’re mostly bare now!

[@a-fl-man640]

the audio is the icing on the cake. the music, an often abused part of many YT vids, is perfect here. i need to send this link to my Falcon 900 flying friend. this is entertainment.

[@CockpitCasual]

Really appreciate that! We recently started recording tracks specifically for the videos, so I think you’ll find the more recent videos a bit better refined than the early ones. I’m getting better with mixing too. The levels were a bit out of whack in this one! Still - I appreciate the kind words!!

[@commkev1500]

Loved it! I’m jealous that I’m not doing what your doing!!

[@terrenceklaverweide6356]

F’in love the format! Almost like a mini documentary/ (extended) travel vlog. Imma binge watch them all now!

[@mattcherry276]

Brilliant stuff. Well worth the wait but now can't wait for the next one! Didn't realise it was going to be the flight where I got a photo of you passing over my house in Manchester, UK. I'm British and our first visit to Croatia was October 2019 when we had a long weekend with a night in Split and then four nights in a village further south on the amazing Dalmatian Coast. We really need to go back, maybe a week cruising round the islands on a small (35 pax) ship then a week relaxing on the coast. Highly recommended.

[@ahkarsmith4691]

Just found your channel and watched what was my first episode. Thoroughly enjoyed it. If anyone doubts our bodily circadian cycle, your struggles with sleep deprivation should be enough to “open their eyes”.

[@RobertRidleyakatrebor]

Caught a couple of US Military aircraft in this video. At Keflavik there were two USN P-8A Poseidon aircraft (12:29) & (14:22) and during the taxi in at Zagreb (LDZA) there was a USAF KC-135 (17:57). I'm sure with the number or ferry flights you do that spotting military aircraft is a common occurrence. Great video btw and loved the music. Keep 'em coming :)

[@vu3mes]

Interesting, thanks for sharing

[@f16cc482]

Probably the third time through these videos. So relaxing watching what I love (aviation content) with great music. Great chill-time.

[@MoreSplit]

That’s a real work of art.

[@ifj.kosagabor]

Zagreb is a beautiful county, nice architecture, but most importantly it has TUNNEL!

[@e.r.2236]

Hello from a former Israeli fighter pilot who flew steam gages in yesteryears. You have an amazing series. I've watched quite a few videos you made. Appreciated and loved them all. If I may suggest: perhaps include highlights of your flight pre-planning (nav log, fuel planning, language and cultural challenges, etc.). How do you manage to have a connected cellphone everywhere you go? Do you take some personal survival equipment, just in case?

[@michaelhenderson4794]

Well done Steve & Bob, so informative! Cheers to the FlightRadar24 AvTalk Podcast boys for the plug

[@Republic3D]

Awesome video! And such smooth jazz - works perfectly with the video.

[@Mortimer_Duke]

Can’t wait to visit Zagreeb myself.

[@bongoloony]

Superb as ever, and your dad’s band are absolutely fist class, fabulous players. The music is such a perfect soundtrack.

[@alanhill4334]

Absolutely great channel. You're turning me into a jazz fan. BTW I'm a retired short-haul boeing pilot. The longest I ever flew was the very occasional 5-6 hour flight and rarely overnight. I don't know how you guys do it !

[@Martin-id4xp]

This is great- thank you Steve & Bob. Really enjoyable insight in to your ferry flight life on this trip. That was one hell of a detour around Italy mind you! Look forward to more insights and thanks again 👍

[@jmzd12]

awesome!

[@budmcfly3311]

You guys are definitely living the dream!

[@jamescollier3]

just like his book on obumer, sounds better than it is.

[@ScrotusXL]

This channel is very special. Just discovered it today. A masterpiece 😮

[@CockpitCasual]

Thanks!!

[@PilotJonathan]

Brilliantly made and well thought out start to the series - looking forward to watching more episodes as they come out! It's also a nice insight for me as a student pilot into a part of the industry that's lesser known, but definitely one I wouldn't mind getting into at some point! 😃

[@joopsmit6910]

Yup! Try snorkeling next to the old city wall in Dubrovnik, the clearest water I ever saw. Then make your way to Split while you are on the coast. Thank you for traveling with you guys. Ciao!

[@CockpitCasual]

Definitely need to get back there

[@davevanbeers6944]

Really love the music choices.

[@luksamalohodzic7122]

So great to see this! Greetings from Dubrovnik

[@hoderharris]

Just Brillant guys , i mean brilliant! Thank you. I have a feeling you have attracted some very like minded very cool followers on this channel.

[@CockpitCasual]

Thanks Hodor!

[@michaelf.h8507]

Great Jazz and story I .really find your ferry flights and photography interesting. Belgrade and Zagreb were both once in the same Country- Yugoslavia hence ,I guess, the similarity of the airport runway that you mention. When I was at school aged 17 I drove from London UK ,through Yugoslavia to Athens Greece in my Mini Cooper. .

[@cameronwick]

What an effortlessly pleasant film ❤

[@McAero08]

So, to sum it all up: Flying in jeans, great boss, interesting flying and watching Cpt. Roger Victor? Ok, where to sign up? :D

[@CockpitCasual]

Nice summary

[@barrym2654]

Outstanding!! Congratulations on the inaugural episode. Adds a great level of information, context and entertainment to your more frequent posts. Looking forward to this being the first of many, many more to come.

[@jonathanscott550]

cool video. Steve I hope you did get to Croatia as it is a very beautiful Country so is Slovenia . Yes definitely go to the Adriatic coast Dubrovnic, Split all up and down the coast and the Island's so many, but well worth the visit.

[@TonyStagge]

Superb in every way, except sound balance. Thanks Steve and Bob, what an awesome job you have!!!

[@CockpitCasual]

Check out EP.2 - it gets better. Zagreb was my first attempt ever cutting video so the learning curve has been steep. You’ll notice marked improvement in all areas as the episodes come out. When it comes to making films I’m a complete novice

[@TonyStagge]

bumped into this channel a week ago and l am hooked. Great production !

[@蔡孟衡-n7q]

Dude this is so awesome, can't wait to see this for every of your trip

[@dennislee529]

Learned about this channel from Steve's chat on AvTalk. This is soo awesome ! Form the content, narration to music; everything is great. Please do more episodes! On the issue of taxis overseas, you just need to tell yourself (in no uncertain terms) that the driver is an experienced professional (though mostly self-taught) and he knows what he's doing...

[@mowser4130]

Saw your signature there not too long ago. Cool to see who it came from. Happy flying!

You had me at Miles Davis. And flying. Plus interesting topic, i.e. ferry flights. Very well put together - I am in (i.e. subscribed).

Awesome video. Just now catching it. I did a couple slow passes along the road outside Pinal Airpark this week, while I was in the area for business. Loved it. Huge fan of the music as well. Thank you!

[@alexanders.7193]

Croatia is indeed beautiful. I find top Rovinj, Kap Kamenjak (Istria), Mali Lošinj, Kornati islands (Yachting), Šibenik area with Krka waterfalls, Makarska Riviera and hiking in Biokovo mountains, Island Hvar, Island Korčula, visit Korta Katarina Winery and Dubrovnik

[@remboldt]

Love the video guys following from Bob's tiktok.

[@willdurand4026]

LOVE THESE VIDS MAN!!

[@datigboman4671]

Fascinating! I found myself romanticising you guys as a bunch of mercenaries operating on the fringes of the aviation world ferrying dodgy aircrafts to far flung places, grunge look and all. Pilots are cool but even among pilots you guys would be “special forces”! Looking forward to more episodes.

[@CockpitCasual]

That’s pretty much it yeah! Usually when an airline guy comes to the dark side, they get addicted to it all fast!

[@davesubelack5599]

That WJ Max is back in service! She's heading to YOW today.

Love the jazz

[@REG350]

Excellent!! I really enjoyed! Having crossed the NATS and Polar many times, I enjoyed that part, and comments about tiredness and feelings, right on the spot. I had my share of adventures with Trade Air and Croatia while ago, in the Mighty F100, I can say Marko was an excellent Host and Boss, and still feel Croatia like a second home, people make the difference. Thanks for sharing.
