Episode notes
On a Friday afternoon in April 2026, a US Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle was shot down over the Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad mountains of southern Iran. Two crew members ejected. One was rescued within hours. The other - a highly respected Colonel and weapons systems officer - disappeared into enemy territory, hunted by hundreds of IRGC soldiers, armed locals, and the weight of an entire regime desperate for a propaganda victory. What happened over the next 36 hours was not just a military operation. It was a masterclass in leadership. This is that story - told through the lens of the principles that separate ordinary command from extraordinary leadership.
