Cockpit Casual returns with the FIRST in a THREE-PART series titled "Art of the Long-Haul". The story follows Steve Giordano and Aaron Van Arsdale as they trek from Alice Springs Australia to Francazal France in an Airbus A320 that was just re-activated from long term storage in the desert.

Filmed in late 2021, COVID restrictions caused some major challenges with travel, and in Part One - Steve and Ava flew Emirates (first class) to Brisbane via Dubai, then chartered a King Air 200 from Archerfield to get to the Outback where the airplane was being stored. The empty aircraft was flown all the way to France by way of fuel stops in Jakarta, Colombo, Muscat, Cairo, and Tarbes.

The Cockpit Casual series is a self-filmed, narrated, and produced collection of travel and adventure videos filmed by Giordano, featuring an original Jazz soundtrack recorded by Giordano's father Steve Giordano Sr. The flights are empty ferry flights on large commercial jet aircraft on behalf of the leasing companies. Giordano is a former airline pilot and currently runs the Nomadic Aviation Group; a Part 91 flight department specializing in flight-test and delivery throughout the airline industry.
