From Outlaw Biker to Airline Pilot: Dale's Incredible Journey Takes Flight on PATCHED
Former Hangmen MC member shares stories of brotherhood, danger, aviation, and world-record achievement
The latest episode of PATCHED delivers a powerful and unforgettable conversation as hosts Jason (former Hells Angels) and Mooch (former Mongol) sit down with Dale of the Hangmen MC to explore a life shaped by loyalty, adventure, resilience, and transformation.
Dale takes listeners back to the early 1970s, offering a rare firsthand look into outlaw motorcycle club culture. He shares candid stories about the brotherhood, freedom, risks, and realities of MC life during a time when living outside the norm came with both rewards and consequences.
What makes Dale's story particularly remarkable is that while navigating the club world, he was also pursuing an entirely different dream—becoming a pilot. His journey led him from the open road to the skies, flying as an Alaska bush pilot before ultimately building a successful career as a commercial airline pilot.
As if that weren't enough, Dale also earned recognition as a world-record holder in .50-caliber long-range target shooting, demonstrating the focus, discipline, and determination that have defined every chapter of his life.
"Fights and Flights" is more than a story about motorcycles and aviation. It's a compelling exploration of identity, mental toughness, brotherhood, personal growth, and the pursuit of purpose. Dale's experiences offer valuable lessons about reinvention and the courage to follow a path that defies expectations.
