OB454: Anything But Dandy β ILS Pilot Deviation Released early to show supporters on 9/7/2026 Public release: 9/30/2026 βοΈ This week, a routine ILS vector doesn't go quite as planned, leading RH and AG into a discussion about mistakes, communication, and knowing when it's time to stop trying to quietly fix the problem yourself. π§ Supporters heard OB454 more than three weeks before the public feed. That early access is just one part of the Supporter Frequency: supporters also get the full Opposing Bases archive, episode Deep Dives, bonus audio, private live recordings, and supporter-only access that puts their questions, stories, and feedback much closer to the microphones. π§ Opposing Bases has no sponsors, no ad breaks, and no corporate sales pitch hiding in the middle of the show. The people listening to the show are the people who support it. That keeps Opposing Bases independent, ad-free, and focused entirely on the aviation conversations we actually want to have. π Want to see what's happening beyond the public feed? Take a look inside the Supporter Frequency. ποΈ If Opposing Bases is already part of your weekly aviation routine, consider joining the crew.

They also get the full archive, Deep Dives, bonus audio, private live recordings, and a much closer seat to the listener stories and conversations that shape the show. π Want to see what's happening beyond the public feed?

OB452: Both Sides of the Frequency Released early to show supporters on 8/26/2026 Public release: 9/16/2026 π§ If you're new to Opposing Bases, this may be one of the best places to start. RH and AG dig into one of the ideas at the heart of the show: pilots understanding controllers, controllers understanding pilots, and recognizing how much work is happening on the other side of the frequency that you may never see. βοΈ Cockpit workload, controller workload, patience, frequency discipline, hidden ATC constraints β and why your direct may be someone else's delay. After 452 episodes, this conversation gets remarkably close to explaining why Opposing Bases exists in the first place. π§ Supporters heard this episode 21 days before the public feed.
