On the latest installation of Cockpit Casual, Steve Giordano and Bob Allen circumnavigate their way around planet Earth again, this time delivering a Boeing B777-300ER (77W) from Phoenix to Abu Dhabi, then onto Tianjin China to grab an Airbus A320 destined for part-out in Brunswick Maine (USA).
The quintessential example of the life of a “Ferry Pilot“, a two-ship circumnavigation is always a grueling, but worthwhile way to spend a week! The episode is divided into two-parts which will drop a week apart.
On this, the first part: Steve and Bob meet-up in Phoenix along with 2 other pilots for the 15 hour non-stop to the Middle East. Then, it’s quite the adventure as the pair hop an Emirates A380 to China before they get delayed. The second part of the episode picks up in China when things get crazy.
As usual, the episode is packed with original music produced by Steve Giordano SR, and was filmed, written, edited, scored, narrated, and completely produced by Giordano in his (haha) “Spare“ time.
