Listen "The Battle of Palmdale: A Lesson in How Not to Do Air Combat"
Episode Synopsis
This week, we're diving into the hilariously disastrous Battle of Palmdale, where the U.S. Air Force faced off against a runaway drone in an epic fail that left a trail of chaos and confusion. We’ll dissect how armed jets, equipped with advanced fire control systems, ended up missing their target entirely, leading to more destruction on the ground than in the sky. Spoiler alert: the drones might have had the last laugh. I also share my ongoing saga with my broken wrist, including the unexpected twist of being told to start exercising it just a week after surgery. And yes, there's a tram story this week that you won’t want to miss—filled with the usual mix of annoyance and absurdity. So sit back, relax, unless you're driving, and let's get into the madness of this episode!YouTube Keywords:vampire jokes, Battle of Palmdale, air force history, drone warfare, laughable military failures, F89D Scorpion, hearing study, broken wrist updates, tram stories, UK tram system, broken wrist recovery, humor in history, military misadventures, funny war stories, aviation mishaps, drone malfunction, absurd military operations, medical advice humor, audience engagement in podcasts, podcast episode keywords
