On this fascinating episode, former A-10 pilot Dale Storer pulls listeners into a razor-sharp narrative that moves from Air Force bases and childhood memories to the thunder of Desert Storm. A routine mission turns into chaos—an unseen impact, a low-altitude ejection, and an immediate, brutal descent into captivity—each moment told with the quiet clarity of a man who lived it.

Ty Bruner’s interview unfolds like a tight film scene: the heat of Saudi Arabia, the scramble to targets, the clatter of interrogations, and the small, human details that anchor the story—a shared date, a whispered name, a reporter in a neighboring cell. Tension builds and loosens, and the episode balances action with reflection.

Short, vivid, and deeply humane, this episode is about survival and resilience. It’s a front-row seat to courage under fire, the complicated aftermath of war, and the slow, hopeful road back home.
