Cockpit Casual - The Cargo Conversion (Part Two)

The first quarter of 2022 was a really busy time for the team at Nomadic. Normally, this is a slow period for airplane ferries, but not this year; an 11-ship Lionair return and some other long-hauls kept the gang busy. During this time, CC-CXE and CC-CXD were ready for pickup as newly converted freighters and Steve, Bob, and Ava had the honors of operating these flights.

Part Two features a look at these returns and focuses primarily on the delivery of CC-CXE, where special guest Jon Ostrower from The Air Current joins Steve and Bob as a stowaway from Singapore to Miami with a fuel stop in Honolulu. Ostrower is a renowned Aviation Journalist and joined up with Nomadic to experience one of our weekly adventures first hand. The Air Current will soon publish a feature where Jon tells the story from an outsider's expert perspective - and Part 2 & 3 of "The Cargo Conversion" documents the adventure through video.

As always, the series features original Jazz written and performed by Steve Giordano Sr.; along with Dave Posmontier and Bob Shomo from the Germantown Session - a studio session where Organ Trio Jazz was laid down for the sole purpose of Cockpit Casual! "The Germantown Session" is also available on iTunes, Youtube, Apple Music, Spotify, and Amazon.
