OB124: My Final Masterpiece

Episode 124 Show Notes

Topic of the show: AG and RH discuss why we refer to the aircraft on approach as "my final".  Why are we so possessive of this area of airspace and why do we celebrate when we do it well?

Mentioned in the opening: Race City Flight Operations at 14A Airport (Lake Norman Airport).  Stop by on May 16th for some food trucks, airplanes, and a reminder of "normal".  Also, check out opposingbases.com/shop to get the first official OB merchandise sold in the Opposing Bases store!  Sale ends on Friday and if you order now, you can take advantage of free shipping!

1. PATRON Romeo November passed his instrument written.
2. Papa Bravo sent in a question about TRIAD ATIS.

Question of the Week/Month The TRIAD area is beginning to open back up.  What do you think IF a BQ1 Fly-In was rescheduled for July 25th?  That's a full 10 weeks from now.  Would you feel ok attending an outdoor gathering that soon?
