3 Beers In: Are You Guys OK to Fly? Episode 137

So There I Was

Hop aboard for a thrilling second episode with Bātar, packed with stories that will make you laugh, gasp, and question if pilots moonlight as comedians. The adventure kicks off with the baffling “Hawaii out of gas” debacle and revisits the unfinished “Football Island” tale from last week. Bātar shares a white-knuckle “Utility Hydraulic Failure” and a hilariously questionable moment with his pilot, Fox, debating their sobriety before a mission. Get ready for livestock mishaps, slapstick-worthy landing gear incidents, and the thrill of 685 combat missions (including a wild drop of 24 bombs at once!). From dodging enemy fire to reflecting on the rare boredom when it wasn’t there, Bātar’s experiences are anything but ordinary. Add in SR-71 “that didn’t happen” moments, Great Santini antics, and an F-4 showdown, and you’ve got an episode that’s impossible to miss!
