“These guys turn it up to 11.
I’m a CFII based out of a major Class C airport 50 miles east of the facility these guys are based out of. A student of mine turned me on to this show. He himself told me that Opposing Bases was what inspired him to become a pilot. Well, to the hosts: you guys really did it this time, because he finished private and instrument and is half done with commercial and has his eyes set on a big shiny jet.
Naturally he piqued my curiosity with such a glowing review. Ever since he suggested the show to me, I’ve been completely hooked. Every Monday I find myself digging through the FARs, TERPs, and FAA Handbooks following up on some situation or question posed in the show that I had never considered before. This weekly dose of curiosity and critical thinking is invaluable to me as an instructor, and I carry this motivation through to my students.
It’s gotten to the point where I require anyone starting with me to listen in at least once. Just last week, a student came running up to me with a glimmer in his eye. “GRAB A PEN, I FINALLY THOUGHT OF A QUESTION I HAVEN’T HEARD ON OPPOSING BASES!!!!”
Suffice it to say I am truly thankful for what is provided here. If you’re any sort of an avgeek, you owe it to yourself to take a listen.
RH and AG, never change.
Cheers,
JAM”
