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".

Isn't that the truth. I was a strike replacement for my 1st choice airline. Didn't cross the picket line and went with my 4th choice. Ended up being the correct decision as my 4th choice's retirement was the only one that prevailed of the top 4 airlines.

OMG I lived in Phoenix for 15 years. We would go to Phoenix Goodyear airport all the time. At the end of this video you focused on that Corsair 747. I've told my family and friends for YEARS that if I ever won the lottery for millions, I'd buy that very plane, and make it into my house. Just you showing "My Precious" made me giddy. We were watching the video saying we wouldn't get to see it because last year, that plane was all the way at the southwest side of the runway. So they've moved it to the middle now. It used to be at North end. Thanks for making my day.

That's awesome! I spent 2005 flying out of Gateway, then 2010-13 living in Surprise. Not sure if I ever was at Goodyear. Similarly, there's a Connie sitting at the edge of the ramp in Salina, KS! Years ago I took a CRJ200 from ATL to Salina with four crews of 900 pilots to bring 4 RJs out of storage. They made us wait until those 4 left so we didnt leave anyone stranded. My FO and I walked down to look at the Connie. It was hot AF that day, and we just sat under the wing for hours, watching as each RJ left town. Pretty cool. Shiiiit, I could live in that thing as is! 😂

Its good for you. 😂 I actually just got MSFS2024. Not a super nerd, but it does bring out some aviation nerd in me fo sho. Been flying all sorts of stuff all ova the place. I think what you guys have going here is really awesome. Thanks for making some good videos! Ill systematically watch them. Hope I run in to you guys some time. This is legendary.

Steve, just stumbled on your channel...love it! Like you, I'm a ferry captain. I work for a company that buys B767-323ERs, A321s, and now A330s. We (a group of OLD retired freight dogs) deliver them to LLBG for a facelift into freighters. Then redeliver them to lessees around the world. Been to YBAS several times, disappointed you didn't mention the lovely flies there during the summer. I strongly agree with your praise for VRMM. Simply beautiful! Great speedboat ride to the mainland hotel. I dig your channel and your jazz selections. Moe T.👍😎

Just enjoy flying and traveling whenever I can be that for business or vacations. The places you visit are so interesting and the cockpit views amazing👌. So much better than those KZfaqrs sitting at the back with a sideways view😂. Then trying to make a living by not working.😱 Your comments on the commercial flights you take, is really meaningfull and of value to me. Sunscribed and hope to see many more.

After 2 hours, I headed for the airport police station to report it missing. There it was in a little triangular 12 car lot just outside the police station.
