Cockpit Casual - INDIA (the Double-Repo)

- On this episode of Cockpit Casual, Steve & Bob head to Hyderabad India to grab two Airbus A320 NEOs from the now-defunct airline, "Go First". The project took place in early January of 2023 and these were actually the first two aircraft pulled by lessors prior to the airline ceasing operations. In other words, these aircraft would "go first"!
The duo from Nomadic flew from Philly to Doha on Qatar Airlines, then on to Hyderabad where they did some sightseeing around Charminar with the go-pros. The next day, Steve took left seat in the first aircraft and flew it to Istanbul via Cairo. After arriving in Turkey, they overnighted and the next day went right back to Hyderabad to grab the second aircraft.
The project took the better part of a week, and was a non-stop, action packed adventure from the start. As usual, the episode features original Jazz from Steve Giordano Sr and lots of great footage from the Cockpit and around the world.
Please never get rid of this channel! This channel is everything I love about aviation, in a shortly packed video. Love you guys!
Same, actually I have work to do tonight, but I had a few hours off and have been rewatching this episode half asleep before I need to get up drink a red bull and get back to work. But I do the other as well
@@EricBishard haha sort of a meditation eh? Good luck with whatever work you're up to
Been binge watching this channel for the last few days and I've gotta say this is unique aviation content was much needed - I purposely don't keep notifications on but since watching I need to keep up with these - Thanks for your hard work getting these out!
My pleasure! Enjoy!
Great Video’s!
Thank's guys, it seems ages since your last vid. Well up to your usual standard😊 great vibes and tunes🎼🎷🎸🎹🎺🥁 Keep on keeping on 🥰
@@CockpitCasual wow just discovered this channel,superb content 🎉
Right? How crazy is it that they're flying narrow and wide bodies under part 91, I'm jeans, t shirt and ball caps?
This channel gives me some serious Parts Unknown vibes, and that’s in the best way possible, probably the best video in the series so far, Well done Steve 🙌
Huge compliment. AB was Definitely a major inspiration for me
Now that you mentioned it, yes, totally agree with this. it definitely has some Bourdain´s vibes. The way it is narrated, the editing, i absolutely adored AB and these series are one of my favorite things in YT. Congrats Steve. A viewer from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I was so excited to watch the video when the title said: INDIA. And the next best thing is: you guys visited Hyderabad, the city I live in. I just discovered this channel a week ago. Can't stop binge watching all of your videos. Hyderabadi Biryani, the best!!
For sure! Glad you found us….
This music on this was incredible!
I could legit watch these all day.
Steve, I cant thank you enough for blessing us with these movies... simply amazing
As an aviation enthusiast in India, I sometimes experience a sense of disappointment because the only opportunity get to watch cockpit videos in India is when someone from another country flies here, as it is prohibited domestically (SAD) . Nevertheless, I appreciate your efforts, and I particularly enjoyed the "7" callout.
There is NO better show to watch late in the evening after a long a$$ day. If i fall asleep due to the perfect storytelling voice I can just rewatch over and over😂
Nice!
Indian; based in California; avgeek; stumbled upon this channel a couple of months ago and binge watched all the videos within a week. Realized that uploads are spread around and so would have to patiently wait till the next one dropped.. subscribed all the same and decid3d to join the list of waiting fans…Imagine my eyes popping out when YT notifies me that the next video dropping involves India! Santa decided to come a quarter early but I’m not complaining.. Great job as always guys!! Back to the wait for the next one now ;)
Awesome thanks man!!
Started off with crediting the whole team and I respect that! This channel is content relief from the usual aviation videos. Just as another user mentioned, this channel is like the Parts Unknown of aviation. Keep up the good work.
Thanks - we’ve got a great team here and I should get them in more videos!
I love it that I get to combine my love of jazz and aviation videos in one sitting! Always quality output guys!
Hey! My ideal viewer right here!!
Love watching your adventures. Keep it coming!
Absolutely love these films. They make me realise that aviation is my passion and I'm so envious of what you guys do. I need to figure out how to change career paths into aviation.
Just do it!
Ya,I think I need a do over the last 25 years .
I’ve probably watched all the older videos five times waiting for this, so hyped 🥳😆
I'm surprised that such a quality channel doesn't have more subscribers, although maybe it's better, because with a large number of subscribers, it goes beyond a hobby and becomes a job, and then it loses its appeal.
Yeah the UA-cam algorithm prioritizes channels that post often. The nature of how long these vids take to make unfortunately doesn’t play well with it.
Even so, they are a wonder to watch.
Even with the algorithm against you I have no doubt you will fly past 100k soon. Who knows, you could eventually earn more from you tube then ferrying aircraft’s. Lol
Did i hear ye right ye said yer next craft was a 757 to fly do ye both fly boing&airbus and are allowed to switch back and fourth on them?????
@@kevincallaghan3212 yep they have a type rating in them all
Steve your editing has reached a new bar of excellence! You have matched the music to the situation at hand. Well Done Sir! As always a great trip report.
Thank you! Always learning & improving
Some of the best aviation videos out there. Thanks so much for your time and effort so that we can ride along.
Bob is a legend he reeks of worldwide widebody experience and big picture flying, love to fly with him and learn everything he knows!
It’s true - he’s seen it all!
Another absolutely exceptional video Steve. I can imagine that a large part of the job is fairly monotonous... interspersed with some really interesting moments. You edit and film these flights fantastically, with just the right balance to keep the viewer engaged, and interested. This latest video must have been your longest upload to UA-cam by quite some margin. Thoroughly enjoyable, and the video finished after what felt like 5 mins. I wish you and Bob blue skies, direct routings, immediate take offs, and zero ATC delays for the future.
Much appreciated!
My to loves combined: Jazz and aviation 😍
As a pilot on the Embraer for KLM we do some long(ish) days up to 11 hours / 4 legs a day and sometimes when I feel like complaining about another delay and long working day I think about you guys and know not to complain because goddamn you guys are next level! Thanks for making these videos, so great to see another side of our aviation world but I wouldn’t want to trade with you haha! You guys seem to enjoy it and congrats to making the business and the UA-cam channel such a succes. Cheers from a colleague at another crew hotel somewhere in Europe!
Best Aviation Show on the Internet... just got done watching... and what an amazing adventure... i think i'm gonna go back and watch some of the older one... Always good to see you guys back in action... Cheers Steve and Bob.... sending you best wishes from LAX
Cheers man!! Will give you a buzz next time I’m out there
There's something ancient and poetic about Nomads returning to Egypt.
Good job playing that music, too. Multi-talented!
Your videos are always worth the wait! Looking forward to many more in the future (hopefully)!
This is the best channel on UA-cam or anywhere else for that matter. I can always patiently wait for the next adventure! 💕
Very much appreciated my friend
LOVE the technical deep dives on fuel systems and nav data
I don't know how you guys do it...fun to see you both in action. The JAZZ is perfect for your video, time lapses etc. I really enjoy this so much. I am sure this is a ton of work to put out this content on top of your job of flying around the world, but know its much appreciated. Thank you!!!! Continued safe skies for you and every one at Nomadic!
Thank you!!
Kudos to Steve Sr for the jazz music. First time watching, very much enjoyed. Thank you!
Congratulations Steve, Bob and the rest of the team you are tied with Blancolirio as my #1 youtube channels. It is quite an accomplishment to keep up with Juan Browne. Good work.
Cannot get enough of these videos and the stories you tell.
Thanks again for the very interesting ride(s) This is, hands down, the absolute best UA-cam channel in my opinion. Must be quite a job just to keep all those ratings up to date. My deepest respect for you being able to making these high quality videos among, I guess, all the stressful situations you might get into despite having a great support team. Thanks again.
Just got back from putting around in the 172...soon as I get home I find this wet dream of a channel. I love it! Very fun to watch
As a first time viewer seeing 2 americans flying to places like India.. im so suprised (in a positive way) seeing how you guys embrace the culture and explore the places. Im now a subscriber :D!
Yeah - we travel to 50-60 countries per year and have been doing so for nearly 20 now. Still try to get out and about as much as possible. Thanks for the comments! Glad you enjoyed it
Another mesmerising video.
Stoked. Notification set.
Excellent stuff, well worth the wait. Thank you.
Good on y’all treating your employees so well… I’m still early in my career in aviation as a A&P but one day I hope to be in a position like yours. Hopefully with a bit of time, right decisions, and hard work we will get there.
You made my day Steve. I love cockpit casuals. Thanks!
Hell yeah Steve love your vídeos and this is honestly an inspiration for me.
Next week im getting training in the A320 and hopefully one Day I cam work for ya.
Sounds good! Good luck with training
Absolute gem of a video with some world class jazz! Thanks All!
Big up Bob, I hate the Chemtrails as well. I'd like to file a minor complaint to the music editor at Nomadic! We started with a Hawaiian paradise sound track (right there is MK Ultra mind control, hypnotizing us right from the start) inter spliced with stf jazz, into cultural Indian music including the Zitar, a dash of mid west guitar, Spanish Flamingo (did I just snort speed) more mid west cowboy guitar, with a finger fret slider (must have been the long flight) playing out with staple stf Jazz. But no Egyptian belly dancers seducing us! Cleopatra needed to make an appearance for an authentic Nomadic Soul.
Damn. I must say, you got me there! I’ll try harder next time! 😂
Hey its your call sign, home of the Nomads, I thought you'd appreciate some criticism after 390 comments of gushing adoration. @@CockpitCasual
The music makes it awesome! Your Dad is great!!!!!!!!!!!
If you pay for the trip to India for a week, I'll STEAL a jet for you. I'm only type-rated for the 747-100, 200 and 300 in Flight Simulator (MS) but I'm willing to learn ;) (Nestle Crunch)
Thank you for sharing your beautiful adventures
Another Beautifully put together adventure Steve. I love these so much.. Cannot wait for more to come in the future.
After discovering your channel 4 months ago and promptly binging all the videos, I’ve been anxiously waiting for a new video. Worth the wait! Thanks Steve and Bob for bringing us along!
Really well done, and loved the music, too.
Another excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to share Steve.
Never let the Keyboard Commandos get to you ! BY FAR the best aviation channel ever.. WELL DONE !
The vibes, the jazz, the food, the views... all immaculate. Love this job
Tidy, sharp film as ever, and good to see proper music credits for proper music! Respect, and looking forward to the next one!
Wow Perfect Sunday afternoon for me, glass of wine and an hour of pure bliss , It’s been a long wait , but t totally worth it ,
Thanks Steve
Cheers!
Thanks for letting me live vicariously. Really makes me wish I could actually pass a medical so I could do the same but this'll do otherwise.
Another awesome Cockpit Casual Steve!!! I could watch these every week!!!
Amazining content, just saw Bob promoting this channel on his TikTok. Immediately subscribed.
I'm a tin basher here in Canada. I LOVE THIS CHANNEL. Ferry pilots for the win, subscribed and sharing to all my plane friends, great videos don't change a thing
Appreciate that!!
Blown away by the content of your channel, absolutely amazing, it is because of channels like these I barely watch tv shows anymore.

Much appreciated
‘Ah, now there’s lettuce in the speedbrake’. I love this film.
And you thought the NEO was “green” just because of its fuel efficiency!
The Best Pilot Channel!!!!! no one comes close to you guys!
Fantastic channel! Subbed, keep up good work!

What a cool-ass job you guys have. Holy crap.
10/10 for the thumbnail ....looks like a movie poster
Another great trip. And "the jazz"...fantastic backup...
I love the “Wings of Jazz” ! I think a new found admiration, thanks !
Best channel on UA-cam, whether for aviation or anything else. Absolutely superb.
I absolutely LOVE these episodes.
Fantastic video once again. Thank you!
Best aviation content on UA-cam by FARRRR....
This was a great video. Thanks for posting. I was born in Hyderabad. My dad was the first General Manager for the new Hyd airport. Great to see you take off from VOHS.
Nice! Really an interesting city
Great video! What a cool and understandably exhausting trip!
These videos are great! Thank you
Absolutely brilliant!!! Thank you so much 👍
You're very welcome!
Easily the best aviation content on YT! Thank you guys, love your films!
Glad to see you back. Hoping for more videos.
Finally, I have a Saturday night with no plans, no kids, to watch this hour-long video with a kick-ass bottle of wine and no disturbance from my phone! These guys are great, and I love their videos and tweets or X's. I can't wait until the next one. I recently sold my business in Scottsdale, not far from Bob's kneck of the woods, that would have been great running into him.....I'm in Mesa now. Great content Steve & Bob!
Thank you!!! Very much appreciated
best aviation content on youtube, thank you
Thanks for giving the rest of us a glimpse of what you do. Truly living vicariously through your UA-cam videos. Keep it up!

Fantastic content, thank you for sharing these trips with us!
Waking up to another hour long Cockpit Casual? Hell yeah!
Can't get enough of Steve and Bob. It's always a great day when we get a speedtape film.
This is easily the best channel I’ve seen in a long time. Working towards my PPL right now with aspirations for my ATP! Absolutely love seeing a different view inside the aviation world. Thank you!
Another great episode. Man, pops and his band are sooooo good. The jazz is relaxing
Brilliant and captivating as ever. Thank you, Steve, for finding time to finish and upload these.
So good to have you gents back!!
Very enjoyable video
