I just spent the better part of my weekend binge watching an aviation YouTube channel. While this represents hours of my life that I’ll never get back, it was time well spent, and I’m grateful for the content. I just can’t believe it took me this long to watch all of it.

Excellent video series. Watch Art of the Long-haul first, gives you an overview of what's going on. Came across these about six months ago. You won't be disappointed.
That is the only channel I have notifications on for on YouTube - amazing series, extremely well put together videos, and the jazz from Steve’s dad’s band is an awesome touch!
clicking on a video it keeps asking me to log in. But to what? OAAT? Youtube? I'm already logged in on Youtube.
Their stuff is excellent! Don't remember how I even came across their channel years ago, but the videos never disappoint.
You have to wonder if Steve will have a second career as a documentary producer after he retires from aviation. His videos are just that good.
Love Cockpit Casual. Stig Aviation ( https://www.youtube.com/@StigAviation) for the maintenance side of things and uploads a little more often!
I love these guys but could swear that you (Ben) put me on to them. Not sure who else would have?!
I don't think the video with them flying through Karachi and having a water canon salute, is featured yet on their YouTube site. Very curious to watch that one. There is a short clip of it with them in Karachi in one of their videos and he even mentions a water canon when picking up the aircraft.
Steve and Captain Bob have the best personalities and can power through most logistics challenges, but it’s great to watch them figure things out. This is a great series and I look forward to every new episode. The jazz music (by Steve’s Dad and his band) matches the video perfectly
I would actually pay to go on a ferry/transport flight with Steve and Captain Bob.
Marco - unfortunately that clip was taken before I even started filming for YouTube - just a one-off that I had on hand. It's unfortunate because that was a cool trip. The first aircraft delivered to Air Sial.
Wow, Steve appreciate your reply. I was very excited to see you guys in Karachi. Air Sial is now one of the nicer local airlines in the country. When I left years back it was only PIA.
Love your videos and you guys make it look so easy :). Like many here just found one of your videos and practically watched every single one that could be found :). Keep them coming.
Agreed! It's easily my favorite aviation-related Youtube channel by far, by pretty much any metric.
Every single episode is excellent, but my favorites would probably have to be Road Warriors, Art of the Long Haul, the Russian Repos, Full Circle, the India one (not sure what it was called), and Nomadic One, in rough order, but again, every single one is worth watching.

I just discovered Cockpit Casuals about 3 weeks ago and am one episode away from watching all of them. And I don't like that thought. More content please, it's outstanding!
