Cockpit Casual - Two out of Tokyo

[@elementsquared]

Haven’t been this happy in the last 3 months. Can’t wait.

[@Kscorps9285]

Co-signed. Been having a rough few days when these guys came in clutch - keep doing these!!

[@mvhsm]

@@Kscorps9285hope things get better for you. Hang in there!

[@Kscorps9285]

@ thanks friend!

[@danielstrandby3678]

RIP Steve's cap at the end😭😂

[@CockpitCasual]

Hahaha - I’m glad you stayed for that little Easter egg. Lol. Yeah that was one of my favorite hats

[@jamescollier3]

​@@CockpitCasualis that what that was. bummer.

@@CockpitCasual now its F.O.D

[@heathforrest4964]

@@CockpitCasual Dam, you never got it back?

[@JakeHynd]

Sounds like a good sabbatical job. Any openings?

[@ATFDFF]

I’m nothing more than an aviation buff who works in a wholly unrelated field…but that near-minimums approach was incredibly presented with amazing videography. Honestly probably my favorite Cockpit Casual content so far. Thank you for this (and everything)!

[@CockpitCasual]

I thought you all would like that. It’s frankly the reason I made this episode - was too good to leave buried….

[@Brahmlullies]

@@CockpitCasualgood to see you posting again. Covid vids with the whole team were excellently narrated and were great “stories” of the entire trip. Would have been nice to have the camera view for this video in the jump seat between you both (on the wall behind?) Then we could see all your inputs, FMS, pilot/yoke, the pedestal, TR’s being thrown out.. But I also validate any intentions to keep the YT community out of your comments section admonishing you about your technique CRM, and so forth. Good to be on the nose with the camera. Great if camera was more aft to get the entire picture. JAL work ethics on point. You weren’t lying.

[@ManualFlying]

@@CockpitCasual I love that you spoke about the airline pilot world, where they are familiar with airports they land on... I think you guys probably love your part as well; all the different destinations, and aircrafts that you get to put your hands on! Not to mention, flying a giant 767 into uncontrolled airport like the good old flight school days flying Cessna 172

[@AirSafetyInstitute]

This channel has some of the best aviation storytelling on KZbin. What a treat!

[@CockpitCasual]

Thank you!

[@itoh.4230]

I am Japanese, but this was the first time I learned that retired JAL aircraft have a second life in this way. I would like to continue watching this KZbin video.🎉🙏🙏

[@miquelmonroe]

Love that ”Climbs like homesick angel”😂. We need these episodes more often!

[@icnjill]

Agreed! Great line!

[@PrvtChurch]

I've been rewatching old episodes to get my fix! Excited for some new content.

[@mikewhitley6769]

Lol right there with you

[@tijmenberends242]

Don't we all?

[@d_kortman]

@@tijmenberends242yes, yes we do.

[@icnjill]

This is the type of video that I WANT to watch. Cockpit Casual is educational, entertaining and, honestly, fascinating for those of us who love aviation. I love all the insider info, the tips learned from experience, that you see landing in difficult situations as a challenge that you train for. You show us, with each episode, the investment you make not only financially but intellectually.... just really great role models for teens coming up to see that with education comes adventure and, ideally, a career you enjoy. Thank you yet again for another great video.

[@CockpitCasual]

Thank you! Really appreciate the comment…

[@vaqarkhan8306]

No better way to showcase, what Nomadic Aviation Group is all about - professionalism to the highest degree plus fun and laughter even during the dark days of the pandemic, and oh yes a bit of tourism and gourmet food thrown in. Giordano Senior's music brilliant as always. I am absolutely over the moon to receive my fix of Cockpit Casual so early in the tear. Hopefully, many more episodes to follow during 2025. Thank you Steve and Bob for taking us along.

[@CockpitCasual]

Thanks as always Vaqar - perhaps we’ll get to meet up this year and get you a cameo!

[@stragi]

I discovered this series a month ago and binge watched everything that same night, glad to have a new one.

[@Mo-du6bn]

the same happened to me, there is something so relaxing yet addictive about these videos

[@andonc]

Same here.

[@betlust]

Man, your channel is my favorite one on KZbin. Thank you so much for making these videos. I get so much joy watching them.

[@CockpitCasual]

Awesome - yeah! Glad to have you along. Thanks for the support!!

[@jaboozie9685]

Imagine rolling up to the airport in Montana and see a JAL 767 just parked on the ramp next to your cessna 😂

[@christophersuttonsr5688]

I absolutely love these films you put together. I live through you vicariously, the shots, the travel, the narration, the lifestyle. Know that your hard work is much appreciated and I look forward to every video you release.

[@etonthompson5175]

Are you aware Sir that your channel is THE most interesting channel on KZbin? And your Narration holds my attention.

[@CockpitCasual]

I am now! Thanks man… much appreciated

[@alexanderdority4881]

Liked before I even started watching. This is the ONLY KZbin series that accurately portrays our job. No bullshit influencer glamour.

[@CockpitCasual]

Yeah no time for that - plenty of entertainment value in the normal stuff!!

[@alexanderdority4881]

@ plenty of entertainment value in Bob’s turning final facial expressions alone.

[@CockpitCasual]

For sure

[@Jamie-k7e7e]

Mid 60s gal here, and this is by far my favorite channel on KZbin!

[@Pure629]

I am calling off work tomorrow for this.

[@rwdft]

The quality of these videos is absolutely outstanding! I'm so glad I stumbled upon this channel a couple of months ago-it's been such a great find! Keep up the amazing work!

[@CockpitCasual]

Thank you!!

[@Venom_fate98]

Once a video drops I literally drop everything and watch it in one go love the vids

[@BigDaddyLicious]

Precisely what I’m doing now. 😅

[@EliezerMJ]

same mate!! hahah

[@rodney6610]

Can't decide whether I keep coming back here for the video or for the jazz music. Talented father-son team.

[@DavidWilhoyte]

Great storytelling, music, cinematography, airplanes, foreign destinations, humor and just enough aviation geekiness to make this a perfect escape. Thank you.

[@dougb123]

Favourite series on KZbin! Could be twice as long and I’d still watch it all

[@howardbamsey4110]

I scarcely ever make a comment on KZbin. And I don’t have anything to say that many others have not already said. But I can’t stop myself: this series is a marvel! Thanks 😊

[@CockpitCasual]

Welcome! And thanks!

[@rogerbayzand4455]

What a treat! Cockpit Casual is one of the few programs that requires immediate viewing and is always worth the wait between episodes.

[@MomentsInTheSky]

Always great to get the inside track on the life of the non-commercial pilots flying the heavies. Sat here with my Bushmills learning a great deal. Well done guys, entertaining and educational!

[@BishopsB]

Climbed like a homesick angel!

[@DVLITTLEPILOT]

I understand how busy you are but you know I would watch every Video you put out Thanks For your hard Work

[@phuongnhuha]

I have not watched yet, but already liked and am commenting. WE NEED MORE PLEASE!!!!!!

[@tijmenberends242]

One of the best ways to start the new year!

[@talesmaschio]

What a production. The images, the music, the voice over telling the story, all perfect. A true joy to watch. Thank you for making these videos Steve.

[@CockpitCasual]

Thanks, I appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@RedShadowKick]

I looked forward to watching this all day! Thanks for another good one. Husband and I love to watch together.

[@icnjill]

Best line I've heard in a while "She climbed like a homesick angel." Love it!

[@allmysoni]

Great to see another video. I’m always amazed how reliable these planes are, even on their last flight. Look forward to more videos.

[@Julian-jn3jk]

This is really better than watching normal TV or going to the movies - its just so well done, two great guys loving what they do and terrific aviation insights, I CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF THIS!! Thanks so much for uploading, already looking forward to the next one. PLUS the music is sensational!

[@dannyone1565]

Thank you 🙏 love your videos ❤I love flying

[@g650driverflightsfromaroun3]

Great video . I am TOKYO based myself. Always listening out for you guys on the airways .

[@mrgrandad1961]

What a Super cool video, Thanks guys

[@TheCyberMantis]

Amazing to have that big plane all to yourself. Nobody else on board. So peaceful at night over the Pacific at 37k feet. I could fall asleep. Great video.

[@hhanger1]

absolutely fantastic music!

[@DreadDoctor]

Mr. Giordano, I LOVE your videos brother. My only wish being they were longer and more of them. Keep them coming Sir. I'm a huge fan, so thank you for posting.

[@carlottodaroma3059]

So great! Watching your content makes me happy! Thank you for sharing it! You guys are awesome!

[@yankee_tangoo]

This is my first ever comment on youtube and I was captivated for the entire 35 minutes. I love how you showed behind the scenes and kept it real and badass. I'm from Japan and I began my PPL last summer at Vancouver while going to university. My flight lesson was cancelled ten times in a rows for poor weather, and unpredictability and patience is real. Glad you enjoyed your time in Tokyo + love your father's jazz!

[@CockpitCasual]

Thank you!! Appreciate the comment! Check out some of my older vids - some good stuff in the library now!

[@dixon1e]

Came for the flying, stayed for that, the food and the music. Man, the music really sells this.

[@jameso9221]

well im glad theres 3 years of content yet to be released

[@peetbothma1500]

Thanks Steve, always a pleasure to watch😎🇿🇦

[@Drew99GT]

I’m an aviation nerd and when you and Bobs vids show up in my feed, I could be having the shittiest day but it becomes great! Frickin AWESOME content! Thanks fellas!

[@AbdulRahman-lj3bl]

A young avgeek love watching your guys combo and the way you present it absolute cinema amazing

[@amazinganimallearningandfu3842]

Supreme video, absolutely loved this.

[@ashc151]

What a great surprise to see another Cockpit Casual episode! Thanks so much Steve for taking the time to put together such well crafted stories for our enjoyment, on top of your busy schedule!

[@fatgosunerd]

Steve and team, this content just has it all. World class professionals, compelling narrative, wonderful music, and outstanding videography. These videos will stand the test of time and serve as a wonderful insight into a lesser-known industry within aviation. Super thankful for your efforts to produce these projects and wish you and Nomadic the best for 2025.

[@briandubois9572]

Love watching these & seeing the old ford trucks used for air stairs Great video as usual JTTSteve 😉😁

[@ivanconinx4122]

Another great episode. Thanks for sharing your aviation adventures with us. Keep 'em coming I'd say ;-)

[@doughty_racing]

Enjoying this with a cup of coffee and a good cigar. My day is complete now.

[@plasteringwithAinz]

Yes yes yes!! Nothing but great content. The months long wait, constantly checking in on the channel, to finally a great piece of entertainment! Keep up the good work Steve.

[@zacheryziegert7960]

Love the videos! Keep them coming! Couldn’t keep myself from cracking up when you visited the E&E bay. I spend lots of time in E&E bays as a AMT but never imagined a pilot going to the E&E bay in flight😂

[@Dutchbird757]

Enjoyed it. Bob eyeballing that approach…hilarious!

[@CockpitCasual]

Well they both go on separate directions like a chameleon, so - he has a nice advantage there 👀

[@Dutchbird757]

@ I guess he’s an old `Culture Club’ fan at heart then. Early 80’s pop/rock lover, brilliant!

[@scottm4977]

ive been watching Bob and his reels for awhile, this content takes it to another level. enjoy your videos, aviation info and humor. well done !

[@CockpitCasual]

Thanks!!

[@hirokame000]

Thank you for such a wonderful video! Didn’t know how retired JAL planes were left Japan. Thanks again! (From Japan🇯🇵)

[@Glenn.F]

Great stuff. Miss my days flying MAC/AMC cargo all over the world. If the casual observer only knew how tough this is on the body. Keep the great content coming. Love it.

[@Andrew_121]

Longest 3 months of my life, these videos are amazing keep up the work.

[@d_kortman]

Best way to start the new year. My favorite channel ever to watch with a beer. Cheers guys, I hope your year is full of luck and prosperity. Godspeed, clear skies and tailwinds.

[@BradStoltzfus]

Once again, the narrating was informative, easy to listen to and so on point, the best on youtube hand down. Also as a Mooney driver I appreciate the real time takeoff and landings. I will say a wing view or full cockpit view would be awesome to see. Great video once again Steve!

[@sateep]

Steveo. Love your dad’s music! 👍❤️👍

[@julienallard1395]

That NP approach to near minimums gave me goosebumps and the fact we could hear you guys communicate during the sequence was very educational! Love your content since day one keep it coming

[@Crazy--Clown]

Great to see you guys back.... Dont forget in the next vid steve "Warcha ya got there Bob" Your vids never get old, watched them over & over 👍👍👍👍😊

[@petergroves9343]

Welcome back, the best aviation channel period Like others, really hope there's more like this in the pipeline Keep up the great work 👍👍👍👍

[@LandingsMSFS]

Man, that was a TIGHT approach. Gave me chills when you landed it smoothly on the markers like it was nothing. As always, superb music, editing and good-taste. Thank you for expressing what you do.

[@CockpitCasual]

Thanks!!! Yeah - made it in there by the skin of our nutsack(s) as they say

[@arvindgill539]

Havent been watching long, but wow that low vis landing had me on the edge of my seat! Thanks fellas

[@bladi-senpai9398]

Finally!!!, im sp grateful of falling asleep 2 years ago and waking up to one of these videos, been on the hook since then.

[@rustyboltproduction]

Old school American story telling. Too cool. Commentary that's straight out of the pages of a classic American novel ... like ... well, pages of a Giordano, in fact. You gents always do it in style. ... And that jazz was just perfect. Sure know how to put a fine film together. Regards, from YSSY country.

[@CockpitCasual]

My favorite City! Need to get back to Sydney here soon. 👍🏼

[@harveybrammer3233]

Love it guys,please keep them coming!

[@SigisTravelVideos]

Thanks Bob & Steve, looking forward to the next one.

[@sebastienlemay6120]

Great as usual. Makes my day when I see the notification for a new video. That landing in low clouds was something, you guys are real pros.

[@Dreamweaver787]

Yet again Steve and Bob blow every other aviation channel with there video diaries, so well put together and has me glued to the screen, again chaps super stuff and thanks.

[@adam_pilot_19]

Another great episode Steve! This series of videos are like films from a great film series, and always a joy to watch! Especially when they feature aircraft like this 767, whose cockpit I was happy to see in a rather original state, with the CRTs, the analogue instruments and the analogue MCP 😁... I really like these older aircraft, even though most of them were built before I was born...😅 So yeah, another great installment, and really looking forward to the next one!! Wishing you guys Safe Flights and Happy Landings from Spain! Adam

[@1919champ]

Absolutely the best aviation channel on KZbin. Steve. Your Dad’s music is terrific. Thanks for your time in doing this for all us viewers!

[@Ring-a-ging]

Once again, you've captured the essence of your craft. Excellent video!!

[@FrequentFlyerBonuses]

Great work once again! Always love watching your videos. On your second flight out of GTF I said to myself that's a Chinook arch so it must be windy and your little nugget of a video at the end confirmed that!

[@epifreak4741]

Ive been looking so forward to this video!!! I realize video production isn't your primary job, Steve, but we are all hanging on waiting for your next video!!! thanks for allowing us into your world!!!

[@m490l]

You guys are pretty much my favourite KZbin channel - love every one of your videos - Living the dream. Please don’t stop!
