The 4-Part series, "The tale of 7 Virgins" follows the gang on a series of adventures flying between the United States and Australia delivering and re-delivering 7 Virgin Australia Boeing 737-800 aircraft. Episode two begins with "Oceans Eleven" onsite in Brisbane and follows the team as they island-hop five empty Boeing 737-800 aircraft across the Pacific with fuel stops in Honiara and Honolulu before arriving Goodyear Arizona for short-term storage and heavy maintenance. This episode features original jazz from Steve Giordano Sr.'s "Spacetet" as well as an organ trio cut with George Mesterhazy. #avgeek #aviation #airplanerepo #travel #airplanes #pilot #boeing #vlog #docuseries #jazz #B-737 #oceans11 #pilotlife

The 4-Part series, "The tale of 7 Virgins" follows the gang on a series of adventures flying between the United States and Australia delivering and re-delivering 7 Virgin Australia Boeing 737-800 aircraft. On the first episode, a team of 10 pilots and one engineer (nicknamed "Oceans Eleven"), have to get from the United States to Australia during the COVID LOCKDOWN of 2020. Because of travel restrictions, a Falcon 7X private jet was chartered to haul the team across the pacific from Los Angeles to Brisbane. Unlike other Cockpit Casual episodes, this one features the classic music of Herbie Hancock from the "Thrust" album - which is, according to Steve: "Probably the best album ever recorded". #avgeek #aviation #airplanerepo #travel #airplanes #pilot #airbus #vlog #docuseries #jazz #oceans11 #falcon7x

We get a lot of questions from viewers about how we ended up in this crazy line-of-work, and this 9.5 minute 'Short' that tells the basic story of how it all came together. Using some older trip footage from the pre-Speedtapefilms era, this clip was originally going to be the teaser for the series, but was later scrapped in favor of the official teaser. The music on this one is one of my personal favorite tracks from my father (@jzguru1)'s "Steve Giordano Spacetet" Album Sea Dreams. The track is a version of Ralph Towner's "Beneath an Evening Sky". #avgeek #aviation #cockpitview #cockpitcasual #travelblog #airplanes #pilot #ferrypilot #airbus #boeing #adventure #jazz

In stark contrast to the Cockpit Casual series, "The Tourist" is a 20 minute journey around the planet Earth from the cockpit; on-board a variety of airliners with Steve Giordano and the NOMADIC.AERO team. With minimal narration, the video is more like a moving portrait featuring the avant-garde ambient sounds of the Symbiosis Syndicate, Steve Giordano SR's spacey and melodic jazz group. It is highly recommended that you wear headphones and view in its highest quality "Super HD" format to fully appreciate this video. It's not the kind of thing that you'll want to casually view with a cellphone. The subtle sound effects paired with the vivid colors of HD video will provide you with an enjoyable escape from your day and into a world filled with natural beauty, inherent action, and fascinating footage. The music will help guide you through the voyage. On this journey you'll experience takeoff and landing in every corner of the planet from remote islands to frigid tundras. Boeing, Airbus, Dehavilland and even the Ted Smith Aerostar is featured in this AvGeek delight. All of the video content was self-filmed and the music originally produced by Speedtapefilms regular contributor, the great Steve Giordano Sr. #avgeek #aviation #cockpit #travel #airplanes #pilot #ferrypilot #airbus #avantgarde #jazz

On Episode 3 of Cockpit Casual, Steve and AVA fetch an Airbus A321 from Larnaca Cyprus and deliver it to Goodyear Arizona. Over the course of this 4-day ferry flight adventure, they made stops in Malta, Iceland, and Portsmouth New Hampshire and got in 2 rounds of golf; one in Paphos Cyprus where it was 100 degrees F (38C) and one in Keflavik Iceland where the temperature was 48F (9C). With ferry-flying, comes the unique opportunity to play golf in two drastically different island climates within 24 hours, and Steve and Ava took full advantage. The trip took place in July and Iceland had 22 hours of daylight, so the tee-time was at 10PM! Episode 3 contains plenty of flight footage, including amazingly clear views of Greenland from 28,000 feet, a meal and a stroll around Limassol, golf, and focuses on details of yet another aviation adventure. The episode features original Jazz by Steve Giordano Sr.'s Spacetet and the Symbiosis Syndicate as well as an original techno score by Lydia Giordano. #avgeek #aviation #cockpit #travel #airplanes #pilot #ferrypilot #airbus #iceland #jazz #cyprus #golf

On Episode 2 of Cockpit Casual, Steve and Ava deliver a Boeing 737 Freighter from Kelowna Canada to Belo Horizonte Brazil. Once in Brazil, it would take few days for the airplane to clear customs, so they headed to the only golf course in the region to pay a couple rounds and wandered through the city to enjoy the Brazilian cuisine. The original, self-produced, documentary series follows Steve Giordano, a ferry pilot, delivering airliners all over the world. Each trip is a new adventure both inside and outside of the cockpit. The entirely self-produced videos are filmed using camera mounts and remote controls and both GoPro and DJI Pocket camera systems on live operations. Steve Giordano completes all of the production and editing using Premiere Pro, and the soundtrack features original jazz from Steve Giordano Sr. and his archive of recordings over the last 50 years as a professional musician.

A new original web-series focused on airplanes and world travel, as experienced through the unique perspective of professional ferry and flight-test pilots. The series (coming August 2021) will follow veteran ferry-pilots Steve Giordano, Aaron Van Arsdale, and Bob Allen as they deliver, repossess, test, and ferry large commercial airliners around the world. Each episode will focus on a different flight operation and give viewers a sense of what it's like to travel to every corner of the earth, flying different types aircraft, and experiencing the local sights, sounds, and flavors of off-the-grid exotic locations. Completely self-filmed, produced, and narrated, the series aims to be both entertaining and informative. On these highly irregular flights in this virtually invisible side of the aviation industry, we tackle complex logistical challenges, deal with constantly evolving situations, and find ways to pass the down-time by exploring different cities. Sometimes we bring along golf clubs and hit the links in very unusual locations, and almost always get a chance to at least dabble in the local culture for a day or two before hopping back in an airplane and jetting off to another place thousands of miles away. The series will be set to original progressive Jazz recorded by Steve Giordano's father, a professional Jazz guitarist (also named Steve Giordano) well known in the Philly and New York jazz scene since the 1970s. We feel that Jazz is the best accompaniment to this crazy lifestyle because like the musical style, ferry-flying is almost always pure improvisation centered around a structured theme. Each trip has a general framework and planned outcome, but due to the nature of irregular operations, we often improvise to various situations ultimately resulting in endless interesting stories that until now, have remained untold. We are currently filming and adding to our vast library of content and will begin releasing videos in the Cockpit-Casual series in Late August. #avgeek #aviation #cockpit #trailer #travel #airplanes #pilot #ferrypilot #airbus #vlog #docuseries #jazz #boeing
