Quick heads up. Before we get into today's episode, we want to let you know about something new.

We finally did it. Opposing Bases has migrated to Supercast. That means early access to episodes,

bonus audio, deep dives, and our full archive are delivered right into your podcast app.

We've been on Patreon for years. It was never built for shows like ours. Supercast is.

So if you've ever thought about supporting the show, now's the time. It's smoother, cleaner, and you'll actually hear us when the new stuff drops. Head to opposing bases.supercass.com, pick a tier, and you're in. And if you're already a patron, check your inbox. We've got an offer waiting for you. All right, let's start the show. I think the fact that these people, now here's a few hundred people that you've met,

but there's so many other ones that you have never met.

And I think the people do stuff for people they have never met is the true definition of service.

So you have, based on feedback from people coming to me for check rides who have been listening

to you, you have made a difference in that.

More than once, I had the person say,

so do you want the FAA's answer that or do you want OB's answer?

Ready.

Welcome to Opposing Bases Air Traffic Talk, an aviation podcast by two air traffic controllers

and rated pilots who love to talk about flying, controlling, and everything in between.

The show is for entertainment purposes only and should not be used as a substitute for your instructor, your supervisor, the FAA, the NTSB, or your cat.

The show will give you a better understanding of how things work in the national airspace system and maybe even make you laugh along the way.

Please welcome R Army pilot Alpha Golf and first officer at Penguin Airlines Romeo Hotel.

Okay, let's do it.

All right.

It's Saturday, July 26, 2025, episode 395, live from AOPA Pavilion, Air Venture 2025.

On today's show, we'll take listener questions from you.

Talk about our amazing trip up here from the triad.
