OB455: A Tale of Two Missed Approaches

Released early to show supporters on 9/14/2026
Public release: 10/7/2026

✈️ This week, one flight, two missed approaches, and two very different perspectives from opposite sides of the frequency.

🐧 Supporters heard OB455 on September 14—23 days before it reached the public feed. That early access is a major part of the Supporter Frequency: supporters get new episodes weeks ahead of everyone else, along with 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.

🎧 If you're listening to OB455 on the public feed on October 7, supporters have already been listening for more than three weeks. Joining the Supporter Frequency means you don't have to wait for the public release schedule—you hear the show when we finish it.

🎙️ Opposing Bases has no sponsors and no ad breaks. The show is supported by the people who listen to it, which allows us to keep it independent, listener-driven, and focused entirely on the aviation conversations we want to have.

👀 Want to see what's happening beyond the public feed? Take a look inside the Supporter Frequency.

🐧 If Opposing Bases is already part of your weekly aviation routine, consider joining the crew. You'll get new episodes weeks early and help keep the show independent and ad-free. Join us at Supercast.

Most of all, thank you to the supporters already on the iceberg. You heard this episode 23 days before the public feed, and your support is the reason we can keep producing Opposing Bases this way. 🐧✈️
