It's that time of year again! The Flying Midwest Podcast proudly presents our 4th annual April Fools' episode, packed with satirical aviation news, absurd events, and plenty of laughs. We love bringing you these stories every year as a way to kick back, let loose, and celebrate the lighter side of aviation.But the fun doesn't stop there! Jim puts Madi and Badger in the hot seat with a round of aviation-themed “Would You Rather” questions, leading to comedic chaos and questionable decision-making. Then, we close out the episode with a bold twist—it's our turn to answer the question we ask every guest: What is your aviation unpopular opinion? We also want to take a moment to offer a huge thank you to our friends at the Opposing Bases podcast for their help with our intro. And a special shoutout to Bryan Turner of Just Plane Silly—while he couldn't join us this year, he's been a huge part of our April Fools' antics in the past, and we truly appreciate his support on our aviation content journey.

What does it take to pivot between multiple careers in aviation? In this episode of Fly the Transition, we welcome Romeo Hotel (RH), co-host of the Opposing Bases Podcast and a seasoned aviation professional with a career spanning multiple roles. RH shares his unique journey from consulting to regional pilot, then to air traffic controller, and ultimately returning to the skies as a first officer with a major carrier, humorously referred to as Penguin Airlines on OB. This episode offers a rare look into RH's career transitions, including what it was like being furloughed from a regional carrier, stepping into the world of air traffic control, and navigating the complexities of airline training in today's aviation landscape. RH also takes us on an adventure through his current role as a first officer with a major legacy carrier, offering insights into the challenges and rewards of flying internationally.Whether you're looking for inspiration for your own aviation career change, interested in the airline pilot lifestyle, or curious about life in air traffic control, this episode delivers an engaging and insightful conversation on the multi-faceted career of an aviation professional.Opposing Bases - Air Traffic Talkwww.opposingbases.comAeroExploration: Check out Jim's new YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@AeroExplorationJoin our Community:If you enjoy Fly the Transition and want to continue the conversation, consider joining our Discord community.

Ever pushed the wrong button while talking to ATC? Landed on the wrong runway but nailed the landing? Join Ben, Brian, and Ted as they confess their most memorable aviation oopsies and why they still stare at the ceiling some nights thinking about them. From "Roger, I have the weather" moments to getting an earful from ground control, discover why midlife pilots might take their mistakes a bit too seriously. As one host admits, they only mess up when doing things – which is apparently quite often! Tune in for an honest, humorous look at how even the most cringe-worthy moments can become valuable learning experiences... if you can ever stop replaying them in your head.

Episode 363 Show Notes Topic of the show: On this week's show, AG and RH discuss risk vs. reward in flight training and ATC on the job training. Can trainers prepare students for real life scenarios if they protect the trainee from difficult and challenging scenarios? Does the risk of spins outweigh the benefits of learning how to recover? Does watching a student work a complex/busy scenario expose them to the risk of killing their confidence? We also discuss taxi procedures, transponders, and a ton of new ratings.
