“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”

“I fly to secret squirrel triad airport often and have worked with both of these seasoned professionals. As a 6 year part-time commercial pilot, they provide excellent real world knowledge. Both of them being quite experienced pilots as well makes it required listening.”

“Though aviation related and APG inspired, this is the view from the other end of the radio and not the other side of the cockpit door. Three episodes in and am really enjoying it! It’s nice to hear their perspective. If you’re an airline pilot, GA pilot, controller, or just someone who enjoys...”Read full review »
