There are plenty of AVIATION channels on RUclips, but I don't think you'll ever find anything quite like this. The "Cockpit Casual" series gives a rare glimpse into the world of delivering (empty) airliners around the world.
Imagine piloting virtually every type of airliner, on a regular basis, between over 80 countries; and doing it wearing a T-shirt, jeans, and a ball cap... Welcome to the life of a ferry pilot! My name is Steve Giordano and Bob and I started out as airline pilots, before turning to this life full-time. We now operate the Nomadic Aviation Group and we've been living the dream for nearly 20 years.
I film, write, edit, narrate, and produce all the content completely by myself; and the majority of the Jazz featured in the videos is original music performed by my father (Steve Giordano Sr.) and his bandmates.
I'll continue to post awesome original content - but it takes a lot of time and effort - so please subscribe & be patient :)
Quality over quantity!

This channel deserves far more subs than any other aviation based YT channels out there.
May light always overcome darkness.
So tell me what's the difference between the Rockwell Jet Commander and the westwind ?
Love the Jamaica soundtrack at 8:41 into this video
Great trip, guys. Pizza looked gross.
Some soundtrack chief......
Just wonderful.....
👍✅ Another interesting story, tks
👍✅ Tks Steve, great stuff!
Steve, these vids are great. Love the level of detail in them. Honestly one of the best channels on RUclips I’ve ever come across.
👍✅🏝 Another great adventure, tks Steve and crew.
We’ve just had the sad news that Bonza has collapsed here in Australia, and the only positive I can think of, is that my favourite channel are going to make a series ferrying those aircraft back to the States 🤞
Pilot here. You’re right about Oman. I lived there and flew from Muscat for several years. It’s a wonderful country.
This is THE best channel on RUclips. I've watched every episode multiple time and will watch them again. Can't wait for the next story!. Thanks for the fantastic entertainment.
Brilliant Aviation channel from you both! Really interesting. Bob' Wahlberg' Allen and Steve G. ✈
Thanks for the Hyderabad tour. I was a missionary kid many years ago and lived a few hours drive from there.
Steve can you nap in 1st class ?
Waftchng again, what I really love about Nomadic isthe great footage, but when it comes to flying, it's all business, very proffesional.
That airplane along the Twin Commanders at first made me feel like I was in go cart down the runway. Ass inches above the runway.
Back in the day it was affectionately called the Jew Canoe. Fuselage shaped like a canoe and made in Israel.
Good vid, but that music is fucking brutal 😤
Great job . Love your videos lots
You have created the best job in the world of aviation. Congratulations.
Curious, will you be posting a video of the recent ferry flight of Air India 747-400?
Hands down the best content on RUclips. I have watched all 21 episodes multiple times, just can't get enough of it
Hey guys I'm an ex airforce maintainer, still interested in aircraft but don't want to work on them in todays environment. Bored shitless by stick acuator vids but I loved your journey with the Weswind. Reminds me. Live your best life. Cheers.
Very good job sir .
Love your story telling! ✈✈✈🙂👍👍👍
prolly some dipshit in a Cessna 172! haha
WAITING FOR THE 747
In the middle east, they don't put pizza sauce on the dough so they eat pizza with ketchup. Enjoy
RUclips algorithm brought me here a few days ago, and I started binge-watching more of your videos. Great content & I love the camaraderie you guys have.
Waiting for EX AIRINDIA 747
I've just found your channel and have only watched 2 videos. You two gentlemen rank so high on my chart as the coolest guys on the planet. There is a titch of Ron White in Bob that cracks me up, and you have the fun side of Dennis Hopper! Thank you for the entertainment, and unfortunately the reminder of what I should have done in life.
Waiting for the queen of skies, EVA video eagerly !!
Same here
The fact this RUclips channel is so underrated is astounding. You guys provide excellent entertainment with your storytelling and beautiful footage that has me hooked throughout the entire video, hell, the entire series. I think I’m currently on binge #2 watching through all the videos on this channel, and it never gets old. Keep up the great work guys! I heard there might be some filming on the recent/future Air India 747-400 ferries. I’m ecstatic to see whatever comes out of that wether it’s just a short video or if it’s a longer one like this any many others. Godspeed you guys. Blue skies and tailwinds my friend. ❤
OMG, the music choices are brilliant. Others have said so, but it can't be said enough.
Can't wait to see the new paint job! ✈✈✈👍👍👍
Your spray9ng Chem trails? Why would you do that?
Waiting for air India 747 repo
First time watching your work, this is brilliant and engaging. The music is top drawer, as well as the respect for the artists. But the highest compliment I can give is how much this felt like The Endless Summer. In its own way. Well done, you easily earned a new subscriber. Thank you.
As exhausting it is after each haul I appreciate how humble you both are. Great work fellas. 🛫
Watching these in reverse order and Bob is clean cut here, now looks a lot more...Steve. 😉 Funny you saying about the book. I watched Mikke Lang's channel who ferries new Diamond GA across the Atlantic. Also a great channel though not as much jazz.
Love this channel for the way you detail the timeline of your journey. 🛫
Very cool adventure, Thamks
videos are brilliant but the music is shite
im sorry but what is the" Story of tom and floyd" you are referring to when talkinbg about stay there on the island?? 16:17
What a COOL video, guys. I knew I liked you guys, but when you said you were keeping the steam gauges, that sealed it 😊
