opposing bases

1. A term used to describe the positions of aircraft approaching final approach courses for parallel runways from opposite sides of the final approach courses. For example, an aircraft approaching the final for runway 27R from the NORTH and an aircraft approaching the final for runway 27L from the south would be on opposing bases. Base legs refer to the portion of the pattern prior to turning onto final. 2. The name of a podcast about air traffic hosted by AG and RH.

1. I was flying into Greensboro and the awesome air traffic controller had me aimed directly at the aircraft to the parallel runway; I am glad they know how to apply the separation rules for opposing bases so we didn't get too close!

2. I was listening to "Opposing Bases" yesterday and really enjoyed the show!

Opposite Day

Opposite Day is a fun "game" played on another. You never know when this day takes place, but when it does, everything you say has the opposite meaning of what it would on a normal day. The quest is on to figure out when this day actually happens, so you can safeguard yourself from its horrors.

*readies sticky hand*

opposite marriage

The opposite of true marriage, which of course is same-sex marriage. Opposite Marriage was endorsed in 2009 by Miss California in an attempt to begin a movement to give rights to heterosexual couples. Supporters of "marriage" have blasted proponents of "opposite marriage" because they say it goes against the traditional definition of marriage between 1 man and 1 man or 1 woman and 1 woman.

Bob: Hey did you hear Miss California's speech last night?
Mary: Yeah! Maybe opposite-sex couples will finally have the same rights as everyone else! Maybe we can finally have an opposite marriage and express our true love!
