“This is my favorite podcast to relax with while squawking 1200 five hundred feet above my closest Bravo’s airspace and between practicing for my Wookie audition on the guard frequency. Five stars, and a Brasher warning for anyone who disagrees!
RH and AG have joined the ranks of history’s great...”Read full review »

“After 500+ five star reviews, if you are not listening by now, you should. To assist, I asked Chat GPT to make a “AG appropriate” review: Esteemed listeners, please allow me to proffer a comedic critique of the Opposing Bases podcast, utilizing an elevated lexicon replete with polysyllabic and...”Read full review »

“Been putting this review off for far too long. As a student pilot in the Metroplex Executive south of the Mythical Triad airspace I was told by my PPL CFI of the most informative podcast in Aviation. I passed my PPL checkride in May 2021 and 2 weeks ago passed my Instrument as well. DPE and...”Read full review »

They are very passionate about what they do and we are lucky to have them pass their expertise down to us! AG…...”Read full review »

“Just started and am hooked.
Have 50 years in the NAS and thought I knew it all…not so…
Well produced and done.
You are helping scores of pilots and controllers who make the effort to tune in.

RH and AG give you an inside look of air traffic control and the perspective of being the person giving orders to aircraft so they don’t touch.
As a student pilot I have learned a lot from these two. For...”Read full review »
